Yes. On the bridges.

Da bridges, da deep hole edges, and some un-named tree bayous not far from Chef...
They are larger than normal this year; maybe the limits are working.

The first rule of Lake P trout is you don't talk about Lake P trout.


ETA: Been thick this year at the bridges.

Been thick with boats on the weekends. For some reason the trout are much bigger than recent years. Caught 22 hammers last Friday with my buddy. Left them biting because he had to go. First time ever doing that for me

Lower limits and a banger of a shrimp season has the trout fat.

Any good recommendations for a guide on the lake?

Justin Bowles seems to be a popular name that always comes up in this subject. I don’t have any first hand knowledge, though.

Justin Bowles is as good as it gets. It’s rare someone as skilled as him ends up being that fun to hang around. Way too many cranky guides in LA. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you book with Justin.

What are you catching them on? Live shrimp? Jerk baits? Plastics? Trolling? Jigging? Drop shot?

3/8 and 1/2oz jig heads against the bridges is all you need

One of the Facebook fishing group characters just posted a pic of of the trestles and it’s an absolute boat show right now. It will be unbearable this weekend

I took the hwy 11 bridge home on Tuesday and at around 430 in the afternoon I counted close to 20 boats lined up between the bridge and the trestle.
