What anglers said about fishing in Lake Pontchartrain

It was very windy, but Mitch still made it happen. He has a nice boat, up to date equipment and has a wealth of knowledge about the area. A day you want regret!

This is not the best time to fish it was extremely hot for the day high 90's which made the fish non aggressive. We got some quality fish but limited in amount of fish. There are certainly better times of the year to fish, this was a tag on to the end of a cruise my wife booked so not my choice of time. However it was a dream come true for me regardless

I recommend proper attire. The long sleeve fishing shirts and shorts or pants, and a hat to keep the sun off of you. Sunscreen and bottled water is a must. No flip flops, they can be slick. Need a shoe with grip.

Bring UV long sleeve shirt & a hat!!!! This is necessary! UV neck/face cover and pants would be beneficial too or at least SPF 50 and apply several times. Itโ€™s super important as the sun reflects off the water too and you can get really burnt if you donโ€™t have this.

As with most fishing, small changes in weather can have a huge impact on the bite. April through June are great times for fishing in NOLA as the weather is usually warm and stable. Early season vs. late season can be totally different experiences as well.

Avoid staying in the city! People drive like maniacs!! Our car was totaled by a speeding truck while I was turning at an intersection the first morning here. Loud town. Out on the lakes was peaceful and laidback, but New Orleans was nuts!

Just know the captain doesnโ€™t have control of the weather or the water level. Itโ€™s fishing.

Red fish are plentiful and stacked up. They are beautiful and hit extremely hard on artificial baits.

Just bring some water and enjoy the variety of stuff youโ€™ll catch plus Mackie knows where they all are at every tide stage and with the wind and sun. Heโ€™s really an expert on the place and has been fishing it since he was a kid. Really cool to just listen.

It can be tough, but a good guide can put you on them (just can't convince them to eat!). Be prepared for hot weather (sunscreen and lots of hydration).
