Hwy 11 trestles. South shore. Live shrimp/ matrix shad on the bottom

Wherever you go have live shrimp and get in line. looks like a mardi gras parade of boats . drop shot the shrimp to keep them a foot or so off the bottom or use slip cork

Thanks for the tips! Maybe it being Mother's Day there won't be as many boats...wishful thinking I guess! Launch from Dockside?

Live shrimp is completely unnecessary.

No shrimp needed. Lemon Head Matrix on a 3/8

How early should I get out there?

Can you head there now?

Haha no I wish but I can leave real early in am!

Jk but seriously I read a post earlier where a guy got there at 520 and was first but 3 others were there within 10min and by 6 it was packed. By 7 you almost couldn't cast except straight at the bridge

I'm gonna try to get there by 530. I just bought almost every color matrix and vortex shad today but they were out of lemonhead...go figure that's what they biting!

According to wind forecast its going to be very rough after 11. It should calm back down around 5pm.

Get their even earlier if you can. Seriously. I'd rather launch early than deal with the lines.

well how did it go?

Ended up not going to the trestles, went to golden meadow and fished marsh instead. Pretty windy no specks and only 2 keeper reds. Lots of small reds. Think I'm gonna go fish trestles during the week when there's less people. How'd they do in Ponchatrain today?

No clue but with the wind we had here I'd imagine it was rough

If you get on a good school, take your anchor and jam it between the supports where their is a cement lip. Also the trains are pretty scary the first time.

I've got them in stock. Www.legauxluresoutlet.com

Color really didnt matter yesterday.
