What time did you go? Rigolets tide chart said the tide was rising in the morning and falling late in the afternoon. Was this the case?

Nice Feesh!

I was out there from 10am to 230pm, wind can override tide charts in the lake. The WSW wind had the water falling when I arrived at the 11 bridge and continued until I left.

Any wind direction that contains a "W" will flush the lake like a toilet....no matter what the charts say. Just like in St. Bernard Parish....a healthy due west wind is poison on Lake Pontchartrain.

Well said, due West over 10 knots for a decent period is not good for the bite for sure.
