I want to take my son's fishing in the lake, thinking causeway or trestles in Slidell.
Please help me build a good, but not too expensive tackle box.
Any advice for fishing theses areas is also appreciated.
Best time of year

Start off building your tackle box with soft plastics and various jig heads. These are the cheapest baits to start with and can be used year around in just about every type of environment or conditions.
Everyone has their preferences for soft plastics. I really don't think that there is that much o me a difference between them. Lots of people like the Matrix shad. Which I like along with the deadly Dudley's. I think Matrix only has about 8-9 color options so just get a couple bags of each color.
1/4 and 3/8 ounce are your most common size jig heads for basic saltwater fishing but you will need bigger 1/2 and 3/4 ounce sizes at least for fishing Pontratrain.

You need to choose your days on the water carefully in that size boat. The lakes can get very rough, very quick...

Along with the plastics you will need to get popping corks and corks that can be clipped on or sliding corks along with sinkers, hooks, and swivels if you plan on using live bait.
As you continue fishing different areas you can start adding the more expensive hard body top water and suspending baits such as Mirrolure which offer a wide variety.

don't get too close to other boats when fishing
when passing a stopped boat either drop to idle or keep it at full throttle. You think you are being nice by slowing down to half throttle but you are throwing a lot bigger wake
research the depth before going to an area you don't know. It's not fun to be stuck
have fun!

for specks are you just fishing plastics under a cork?
Is it better to go out far along the causeway from mandeville or can i stay somewhat close in?

Honestly bro. It's sounds like you probably need to get either an experienced fisherman to tag along with you on a couple trips and show you some things first hand and in person.
Or
Pony up a few dollars and hire a guide for a trip. You can learn a lot from a guided trip especially if you tell the guide what you are looking to accomplish.
Pontratrain can be a difficult place to fish even for veteran anglers and I am not the best one to give you instruction for that specific location.
Just keep trying to learn and don't give up. Glad to see you looking to bring kids fishing.
