    I know quite a few charter captains and I try to never bring up where they have been fishing. I really don’t even worry about what they are doing or where they are going. Not saying they never give intel but a lot of times it is very hard to go catch someone else’s fish so I don’t really bother bringing it up. You are better off doing your own thing.

    I would take a hard look towards Lake campo, Campo pass, Oak river bay and Ameda pond. Fish any wind blown points that have some current coming across them. Bounce around until you get bit. The water down there is dirty so you will have to probably fish with some live or dead bait. You can catch them in some very dirty water so dont get too discouraged if the water is filthy.

    If that area doesnt produce I have also done very well in the spring in the Lake John area and in the ponds coming off the twin pipeline just north of lake john. Same deal, wind blown points.

    Good luck, hope you can get on some!

    I have not fished Grand isle this spring, but I typically like to fish it a good bit this time of year. The first week in May that past few years has been very good in that area. I have done well fishing in a lot of the bays north of bridge side. Normally get them in 8-10ft of water bouncing a jig on the bottom, with a good incoming tide. Side Note: There was a ton of shrimp boats right around Caminada pass yesterday catching a ton of shrimp. Looks like the shrimp are finally starting to show up down there.

    I have caught some at the Hopedale dam. Never had much size to them but have caught a few that would keep. The rigs around belle pass typical hold some mangroves and it is not a very far run at all.

    Believe or not I went on a little night trip last night. Caught a couple nice fish but didn’t have too much tide. I think on the right night you can go do some damage on the lights in Lake P.

    I think you hit the nail on the head with this. I have talked to several guys who have fished Lake P for a long time, they always said that a lot of fish used to spawn in the lake and that helped produce a lot of world class fish.

    As far as depth, I start around knee deep and then move deeper until I get bit. Normally I end up on the second sandbar. I also use a float troll for live bait and I put 10-15 bait in there at a time. I keep my live well on the beach and just refill my float troll. You will also need a stringer of some sort. I would also highly recommend a floating net. Good luck go get em!!!
