re: Lake Pontchartrain fishing pier in Mandeville

I've never had any luck at the Mandeville pier. Fresh bait, live bait, artificial... Nothing.
Last year there were several nights I spent 5-6 hours out there without a nibble and not seeing anyone pull anything up either. One of the guys I saw regularly out there brings a small cast net and catches small 2"-3" crabs. Said the best time to fish is just before sun up and be casts the crab near the rocks at the beginning of the pier and does well with the reds. I never hung around that long to witness it though. Otherwise, It's very hit or miss from what I read about it.
I've been seeing pics of catches recently being taken from the Slidell pier. Trout, reds and a nice cooler full of crabs from a couple old guys.

I never had luck there either, but I know a guy and went out there with him a couple times, he destroys it out there.
Took a white artificial and trimmed it some sort of way and sort of worked it like bass fishing.
