If you are in search of a tarpon, I would take a look around the four bayous area and empire beach. Lake P could even be a possibility. I have caught 2 juvenile tarpon in the Lake with in the past year.

Great trip, this time of year is very hit or miss no doubt. One suggestion I can give you is always fish the upcurrent side. I typically try the up current side first. I want my bait drifting into or pass a corner of the rig, not away from the rig. Not saying you cant catch them on the down current side, I have had plenty crazy days fishing the down current side of rigs. I would definitely just give all side a look when you pull up to a rig. As for tide ranges and the breton sound. I have always done better this time of year on breton island when the tide is ripping, on lighter tide days I hit the rigs.

I believe that was me out there you saw. I was on a friend’s boat at that point in the day, but I was on my boat early that day and caught a limit on a shell pad not too far from where you saw me! The bite definitely shut down after the sun came up!

I would take a look at the west / south side of Lake Borgne. Water was trout green out there yesterday. I did very well there yesterday, will be posting report soon.

MemberMay 1, 2025 at 11:19 pm in reply to: Is it wrong to ask a charter captain for free advice?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.

Campo’s Marina, Shell beach

Had a feeling they were hiding somewhere down there lol.

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!!!
