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.

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

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.
