Lake p Friday afternoon

[PUREBAY2200]

Me and bayouchub Went to madisonville to tow in a boat with engine issues; planned to bass fish after but the wind laid down and we decided to hit the causeway. Fished from 5-7:15.
Caught 8 trout fast, weren't planning on keeping. But after catching a few so fast we decided to start keeping.
Got on a good bite even with the wind and dirty water.
Caught em on matrix shad lemon and salt/pepper bay chovey.
Kept enough for a fish fry Sunday.

It takes more than ideal conditions to catch fish in Lake Pontchartrain....unlike Big Lake.

^^^^^^^
Funny!!!!










And true.

We got back to the launch yesterday and there was 3 other boats that had been fishing....zero trout.

It ain't as easy as it appears.

2 person limit on lake p is a great day and will take a while.
3-4 person limit would b amazing!!

And that's a 25 fish limit..... Not 15.

I had five nice ones today, n missed another 10 and lost 3 more at the side of the boat. Very hard to feel that soft bite when it's that bumpy n windy out . I saw the fish move my line before I felt it today

Yeah, if bottom bumpin' ain't your thing....you best steer clear of the real Big Lake. Personally, that just never was my cup o' tea.

They were blasting the lures yesterday!!
When they hit they ran with it; not the usual bit and sit.

Ita hard to set a hook When it's windy and the boats moving up an down.

I've only been to the Causeway a couple times and the only fish I caught were by accident. Either the fish swallowed the lure while it was sittin' on bottom, or, hit it on the retrieve back in. It's fun pullin' up out of that deep water, tho.

Great report, thanks.
