go to lake ponchartrain and launch at peavine boat launch.
you don't need to go early because the fish are biting later in the day.
its best to have a west wind, anything from the east and it gets rough and dirties up the water.
they are catching nice redfish at the powerlines with market shrimp on the bottom fished close to the pilings.
the powerlines have a number plate at the top so every 5th one has a number 110, 115, 120, and so on.
go straight out from peavine to the powerlines (use the road as a guide to what straight out is) then when you get there turn left and follow the powerlines until you get to 110 and if you don't catch at 2 or 3 powerlines in a row jump down 5 or 6 powerlines and start there. stop at every powerline and fish and if you don't catch anything after 5-10 minutes move to the next one, if you catch one or two nice reds move to the next one. they seam to only hold one or two reds at each powerline.
this is the middle of the day fishing so plan to be at the launch around 830 and you are targeting the 10-2 period when its hottest. this is where the fish hold tight to the powerlines in the shade formed by the shadow so this is where you want your baits sitting.
anchor away from the powerline and let the wind hold your boat about 10-12 ft away from the poles. that way everyone can fish the shaded areas.
the water is 10-11ft deep and you fish with tight lines using a jig head tipped with shrimp or a Carolina rigged hook with shrimp.
make sure you have medium heavy poles because most reds are averaging 20-24" and they aren't catching much else except little 6" trout and drum.
the lake is not a buddy boat place so you don't want to follow another boat or try to frog leap or people tend to get uppity. after the fish are caught at one powerline it can take hours for more to come around.
I cant do any more then that unless I was there to net the fish for ya
