Anyone ever fish from or around Fountainbleau state park? Gona be heading there Thursday and Friday for a little R&R and might get a line wet at some point. Just looking for a few pointers for fishing that area. I have never been to Fountainbleau nor have I ever fished Pontchatrain. TIA

Park is a true gem for the state. The cabins on the lake are very nice. I have not fished there, but will after hunting season is over and I get my boat I have been preparing for.
If you are staying in a cabin, they have floating docks that you can fish right off of. It is a damn nice place.

Nice park and the cabins are great. We rented two cabins about a month ago. Fishing did not look very favorable. Very shallow water. Saw a few people standing out waist deep fishing that said they never got a bite.
We brought some some crab traps for the kids and they caught a few. Only caught 4 crabs There are deer everywhere. We probably saw 20-25 during the weekend.

They built a new pier by the beach a few years back, i would walk out on that and try your luck with some dead shrimp on the bottom. This is your best chance to get bites.
If you are adventurous you can wade fish and cast top waters, plastics, popping cork/shrimp...etc along the shore lines. The bottom is mainly sandy so wading isn't much of an issue. Water shoes will help but you can bare foot it.
I would go in with limited expectations.

Good time of year to fish the lake. Trout are showing up on the grass beds which aren't at Fountainbleau, but means they are in the area. I have never fished there, but if there was ever a time to try and catch fish there it would be this month.
