Usually lots of crabs in this area. Go to the boat launch down at the end of the lake road (LA 434). Crab in the bayou or the ditches along the road. Bringing a boat? That opens up even more area if are, get away from the crowd.

Thanks CC. No boat. I'll they to get there early and deal with the crowds!

If you can get here real early almost to the Bridge on right side maybe bout 50 yard u'll do better If you have good Tide they'll be Good

Early as in 6-6:30 or earlier? Is the bridge on Lake rd? Thanks jls!

Earlier like 5:30

Jls. Got there this morning around 6:15 and got a good spot about 100 yds shy of the bridge. Next time I may get there a little earlier and get closer to bridge. Ended up catching about 3 to 4 dozen but most were small. I'm not that educated on tidal movement but seems it wasn't moving to much. Thx for your help and will go again. It's a very easy trip from BR.

Glad to help Bourge1 I know if there high tide its better I bet was alot people b4 days End huh

It did get somewhat crowded but as people showed up some would leave so it wasn't too bad. Is it better at a high tide or just a faster moving tide? Below is a link I found for a tidal chart of Lake Ponchatrain. Is this accurate for north shore or do u suggest another website? It indicates high tides for the evenings this week so does that mean it would be good later in the day? Just trying to learn. All your help is very much appreciated!rnrnhttp://gofishingforum.net/tide.pl?location=New%20Canal%20USCG%20station%2C%20Lake%20Pontchartrain%2C%20Louisiana&state=LA&lat=30.0267&lon=90.1133

Nah thats'll work from what i know better when High Tide, I seen water cover whole parking area Crabs ran good

Jls-May try again soon just before and after high tide. Most of what we caught with line and net technique yesterday from side of road were very small. Is that just the case here all the time or just happened that way yesterday? Thx again!

I;ve never caught Big ones there bout like you caught Hace caught few nice ones like #2 maybe But other then that Small, No my buddy says they go and catch 200-300 he claims Big Ones but i need to see that to believe ummmm, Now if u get Boat fish Opposite side w/ nets catch some nice ones i seen a Guy catch 1/2 bushel in 2-3 hrs

On the opposite side of the launch is where I've caught large crab too, that's why I asked if he was bringing a boat. Get's you away from the crowd quickly, and the crabs know that too.

True we fished the side of landing where landing is in Bayou lacombe w/nets caught some nice size ones

95%ofthe crabs u catch at the brigde will be small nothing worth boiling really a waste of ur time
