Power Line Redfish In Lake Pontchartrain: Where, When & How

Power line redfish in west Lake Pontchartrain are one of the most overlooked and underrated fishing opportunities in Louisiana. Specifically, the powerlines that stretch across the lake can make for easy, drag-peeling fun during the summer!

But when should you fish the power lines in Lake Pontchartrain? Why do so many people not fish it? What’s the best tackle to use and where can you launch from?

These questions and more are addressed in this guide. If you watch the entire guide, then you’ll have inshore fishing knowledge that most do not have and will be set up for success to experience this great summertime fishing spot.

We’ll begin with the exact location of these powerlines:

West Lake Pontchartrain Power Line Redfish Coordinates
Also known as transmission towers, you will find these starting at 30° 2'35.43"N 90°14'1.84"W, as they run west toward LaPlace before turning north at 30° 4'56.58"N 90°24'8.56"W and running toward Pass Manchac.

I have found that any of these stretches can be productive for redfish, blue catfish and black drum, but my favorite is the row of transmission towers running from north to south.
