What anglers said about fishing in Lake Pontchartrain

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.

Fishing is always great when you have the right guide! I have a great time. April can be windy but if that's when you can get out on the water, go for it!

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.

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).

The guide was fantastic and put us on fish immediately. It was perfect for my daughter who was a rookie. If you are looking for bigger and more specific type of fish then you will want to choose the time of year that you go out of Slidell.
