Lake Pontchartrain Hammers! Speckled Trout Love This Area
ฝัง

- Every fall in November (roughly) Louisiana's big speckled trout hang around the long bridges that span Lake Pontchartrain, a huge tidal lake connected to the Gulf of Mexico. One of those bridges, The Trestles, is a train bridge, and it is a favorite hangout for these big trout. In Louisiana, a 20 plus inch trout is now considered a very nice trout (by me anyway). They do catch some much bigger trout in some of Louisiana's neighboring states, but Lake Pontchartrain is a good place to catch some of the biggest Louisiana has to offer. A favorite method for this is tight lining a jig head with a soft plastic swim bait, which is the method I use in this video. Bring Plenty of jig heads and a good attitude because snags on the bridge are plentiful and so is the boat traffic. Thanks for joining me.
If you are local (most of you watching this video are), and you don't have a good church to go to, come join me at Bethany Church. Bethany has five campuses so go to Bethany.com and find a campus close to you. I usually attend the Baton Rouge Campus at 9am, so if you come, look for me and come say hey. Tight lines.

Awesome video Jar, great tips and an awesome fishin trip
Moved to Bush Louisiana from Wyoming almost two years ago and your videos have been alot of help getting the kids and i on fish and what techniquies to use. We absolutely love iot down here. Thanks for all that you do.
@@Tommy-rs1mp That’s really cool. Welcome to Louisiana
Another awesome video!! 🎣🎣🎣 I’m new to saltwater fishing but I’ve been taking notes from your channel!!! Great job
+We've run out of water here in south central Texas, will eventually watch all your videos and am grateful you take the time and effort to put your day into a 10 to 20 minute video. Fish Whisperer, keep it coming
It’s been a strange year for sure. We have a much higher salt content this year in a lot of the areas I fish. Probably because the rivers are super low and not much fresh water entering the area. I’ve also seen a huge decrease in the number of bass in these areas which is kind of a bummer.
The only possible end result is we go fishing , keep slaying "em brother@@Jar_Fishing
@@timjohns191 exactly!
nice good stuff
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
You are becoming my favorite local fish video maker. I am stuck home with a broken foot. Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate the nice comment, and pray your foot heals up nice and quick.
I love these videos and this one in particular. You are one of a small few who show details. Most guys don't show the specifics. You share where you are, time, date, what you are using and presentation of the lure. Keep'em coming cause I'm hooked.
Thanks Carl! I leaned a lot from guys like Jon Miller who took time to explain things. Very much appreciate the kind words.
Do you use your sonar to locate fish or just pick a spot and then stick and move? That is a Grizzly 2072 you fish from right, I am picking up a 1860 cc this coming Tuesday and can't wait to get it on the water. Who knows maybe someday I will see you in Hopedale, I plan on going there a lot. Great video, I am learning a lot from you, thank you.
It’s an 1860 like what you are getting. When we bought the boat, it came with a nice fish finder, but I promptly ripped the transducer off running shallow water like I do so I never really used it. I’m sure it would help, but I just rely on my redneck senses and a little luck lol. Hope you guys enjoy the new boat! Love meeting people at the marina so holler at me if you see me.
Awesome box of fish! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Greg!
So nice to see someone not boat flipping the fish into the boat and slamming them onto the deck before they release them. Other ppl like to break bones then release
Nice video! I’m glad to see some solid fish being caught at the bridges. We might get see some really good fish this winter like there used to be many years ago. When a 5 or 6lb trout was no big deal and a common occurrence. You’d have to put one in the boat that was closer to 8 lbs to get people’s attention. L&N train bridge and Seabrook would seem to produce fish that size every year. Hwy 11 and the Trestle would as well. Kenny Kreeger caught the 2nd largest trout ever caught in Louisiana at the Lake P bridges. 11.99 lbs….January 1999 I think it was.
That’s so crazy! I wish it would get back to that. Maybe the new limits will make a difference. We’ll see.
@@Jar_Fishing Those really large fish got scarce when they installed the MRGO dam after Katrina. There were a few caught over the next year or two but then they disappeared.
@@alldaveallnight4581 Makes sense. I was just bass fishing back in those days and never got to experience it.
Trout loves that bridge, and you know for shure how to get them good !! Great video !!
The trout love it. Crazy how many big trout are there. I can't imagine what is was like in the 90's when people were catching true monsters.
Yep,Lotta folks give up on Trestles as they are not allowing lure to snug up on bottom and if ya not getting grass,hung up,etc,ya AINT contacting bottom!!!Thanks for de video and gonna be floatilla out there pronto!!!I have been tossing a much bigger soft plastic,Lunker City Lures,Shaker in 3.75-4 in Jungle Jazz or Vampire lure!
Yes sir. Throwing that larger profile will lower your overall catch rate, but the ones that do hit it will be gorillas.
great day.... unfortunately I was t the dentist that day figures! Thanks for the knowledge you share .
Thanks for the video. Went out today near little lake didn’t catch anything
Any recommendation on a launch , if coming from Baton Rouge. Thanks
The Pointe Marina. Very nice place. I think Matrix Shad owns it. Good luck
FYI: Learned the following at a BASS seminar waayyy back…cast lure, DO NOT TURN REEL HANDLE/DO NOT CLOSE BAIL--feed several feet to allow lure to contact bottom! By turning the reel handle/closing the bail…there is no extra slack on the line and the lure comes back towards you therefore you ‘loose’ several feet of your cast-could be critical-lure gets out of the initial strike zone! ALL OBSERVED IN A CLEAR WATER CASTING TANK…Kevin Van Damne. For simplicity sake… imagine fishing in 100 feet of water… Casting 100 feet - lock down the reel…where do you think the lure will be…it will be Straight down… not where it hit the water initially! Great video…!!!!
Thanks John!
Very true. The only thing is….you have to watch that line while it’s falling. So many people miss fish that strike while the bait is falling on a slack line. You have to be ready to engage the reel, take up enough slack and set the hook before they spit it. They’ve had me cursing on more than one occasion 😂
@@alldaveallnight4581 No doubt. Happens to me all the time.
@@alldaveallnight4581 Dave: Got to educate your thumb more! The problem BUT the older we get ‘the slower the brain tells the hand to react’!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JCASTELLUCCIOJR Depending on where I’m fishing….I’ve started casting a good bit further than where I want the bait to contact the bottom. I engage the reel and let it fall back towards me on a tight line. Doing that has nearly eliminated all the missed strikes. Of course this is nearly impossible to do while jigging the pilings at the Trestle. That bait needs to pretty much fall straight down when you throw it right against the piling.
Man those hammers fire me up.
Great video bro....
Thanks!
