Big Trout at Pointe Aux Chenes December 3, 2016

I was more than a bit worried about how the cold front has affected fishing. So I got on the phone and made a few calls to find out exactly how this weather has changed how they are biting.

The first person I talked to was Eddie from Pointe Aux Chenes Kayak Rentals. He told me that the trout are in the main channel and biting at daylight and again in the late evening.

"Guys have been catching the big trout using a chartreuse Beetle Spin under a popping cork," states Eddie.

Everything that you could possibly need to catch trout is sold at Pointe Aux Chenes Kayak Rentals Tackle Shop. They also sell bait shrimp, minnows and live crabs. The best part of buying your bait from Eddie and Lisa is that they have current fishing information. If the fish are biting, they know about it and will tell you what to use and where.

Give Eddie a call at (225)573-4085.

Captain Ronnie of Shoreline Charters told me that bull reds are being caught using cut mullet or cracked crabs. The smaller reds biting on minnows or shrimp on corks. Trout are also biting on minnows under corks.
