Inshore Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain / Northshore in Southeast Louisiana

Westside of Lake Pontchartrain

We've been killing the Drum and occasional Red on the Trestles for the past month. Last week we caught four very nice sized Trout on the south side of Twin Spans, so hopefully this recent cold front drops water temps enough to move larger numbers of trout into the lake. I recently moved out to Destrehan and I don't have much experience at all with the west side of the lake. What are the chances of the platforms near Williams Blvd and the concrete pillings at the base of the power lines running from Kennner to Laplace or any other locations west of Causeway producing big Trout in the fall like we see along the bridges? Getting into the Lake from the Spillway takes me 10 min from the house. It would awesome to find out that there is actually good fall fishing that close to home! My 7 yr old son eagerly awaits you guy's feedback!

trout

Not too many people trout fish over there. I've caught a few here and there, but nothing consistent enough to write home about. I also rarely fish over there anymore. I used to do pretty well with reds around the mouth of the Tangipahoa and along the shorelines over there. Never fished the powerlines much.

West Lake P

Cold fronts this time of year pull white shrimp out of lake Maurepas into lake P. Specks and reds can be caught at powerlines and along lakeshore if you can find them. The problem with fishing southwest corner of lake is rough and dirry water. Afetr fronts churn up the lake, the periods of west winds and calm winds needed to clear up water usually leaves a small window of oppurnity if any before the wing goes back around to the east again. The water usually clears up near the lakeshore first, then along the powerlines. There are old well sites back of Laplace. The structures are gone bur shell pads remain. You can get a map from Lake Pontchatrain Basin foundation. This map has locations of old wells, current rigs and artificial reefs. Some years are better than others. A few years ago specks were caught where crosscut canal goes to lake. I haven't been fishing out there lately. Just my 2cents.
