Striped Bass
While not as widely known as other Louisiana fisheries, the waterways around Ponchatoula can offer surprisingly good striped bass fishing, particularly in the Tangipahoa River. These fish migrate into the river system from Lake Pontchartrain, especially during the cooler months, offering a unique freshwater opportunity. The best time to target stripers here is typically late fall through early spring, when water temperatures drop. Focus your efforts around deeper holes and areas with current. Live bait, such as shad or mullet, is often effective. A key local tip is to pay attention to the tides, as the influx of saltwater can trigger feeding activity. Be aware of size and creel limits for striped bass in this area, as regulations can change. Check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website for the most up-to-date information.
