Is it all fresh water? Thinking about fishing that area this wk end. Should I just head into lake borgne?

Been to Lake Catherine area twice recently and have hardly had ANY luck. Don't even go out there without live shrimp.

If anyone wants to sell you a cockaho, tell them to shove it up their arse.

Friend fished the train bridge last week and ca=ught about 20 trout. Good size

Fished out of the Chef this past weekend.

Saturday evening, played around at the bridges, but the wind/dirty water was moving in. Fish had been there ealier, but we didnt' get live bait for the afternoon trip. We did find some BEAUTIFUL water about an hour before dark at the mouth of that inlet going into that OT like subdivision (Lakeshore estates maybe?). Picked up a few in there on artificials.

Sunday, went to straight to the lake. Pulled up to that rig that used to have the big barge on it. Only one other boat in there at the time. Picked up 30 VERY nice trout, mostly on live shrimp, but did manage several on artificials. We maybe measured 2 fish. Most over 2 pounds.

Left there at 9:30, went to Biloxi Marsh, and caught 10 reds quickly.

Also picked up 4 flounder in Biloxi Marsh.

My buddy that fishes down there alot thought it was a little early for the barge rig, but they are there. Fish on the side of the pilings where the barge used to be. Fish were RIGHT on the pilings too. White trout were further out.

Your welcome.

Edit: Fish about halfway down the middle of the pilings.

I don't drive in Slidell, I can only comment on water conditions on Tuesday that is the last reoprt I had.

There have been people "in the know" on here that have been saying there is river water in slidell since about the second day the bonnet carre was opened. On Tuesday I can say with 100% certainty that there was clean water on some of the bridges and there were trout there.
