[@GuidryJ]

Good stuff Joe! Glad youre enjoying our wonderful state of Louisiana!

[@FelipeRubio85]

Awesome video!! Love fishing for reds, specially bull reds!

[@johnroos5807]

Oh, Reds are such good eating!:) Almost as good as Walleye! Way to go! Semper Fidelis

[@g14armory]

Love catching those Spot Tails. Growing up on the coast of Georgia I always look forward to October when they REALLY start biting. Those and the Speckled Trout are some Great eating fish!!! Great Video

[@whitneyhott331]

That was definitely a good day of fishing! 👍👍👍

[@traggazzo]

[@Hagfan789]

I live in northernish WI & love the outdoors. Been to LA. a few times & just love it..It's a state different from any other. The landscape, the food, the people are just awesome. Kind of scary at times...but awesome..lol Great video Joe.

[@endeavouringit]

hilarious fishing from within your truck, love it

[@shamasi1968]

Hope you enjoy that weather.. It was -16 last night here. Wind chill -30's.. 53 degrees I would have been in shorts..lol

[@livingsurvival]

Great day out, nice fish!

[@Lumberman2011]

Very cool vid. I fished there before went on a trip to Grand Isle and fished back waters near there for redfish years ago. Had a blast. Caught plenty of Blue Crab as well. Nice vid, good idea setting up in the truck LOL , might as well be comfortable!!

[@yaks6312]

Awesome job! I go to the spillway a lot to hunt and crawfish... Man I'll have to try and fish there.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

yaks6312 Where do you catch the crawfish in the spillway? I am not down there a whole lot so its not like I will be reducing your catch lol. If you would rather, you could email me at [e-mail] and let me know some places and tips on how you do it. Thank you. Joe

[@blessingseleven]

Great to catch your limit, Joe - it was worth your time. Looks like you will have nice fish dinners coming up. Hope to see you video cooking them....:-} Thanks for sharing. - Sally A.

[@mdelucia67]

nice day fishin,,that's great Joe,,even with the wind its what 60 degrees warmer than Mn.

[@TheWolfePit]

You're slaying the fish Joe! NICE!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I have some of my Minnesota Northern Pike unthawing now to make your fish chowder or whatever that delicious video was you posted today. That will be lunch tomorrow.

[@bamascot1]

That was an awesome video. You rock.

[@voodoopaintball446]

Man the lake kicks up so quick with wind cause its so shallow. I love fishing by the great wall of chalmette or by the hot water canal

[@kennethjames7078]

I never fished there tried but it had alot of water under the railroad tracks. Now that I have a truck, I will be going when it gets cold. I fished , right off the levee by the boat launch, caught some nice size brim.

[@gman77gas]

Come back around July , the snow MIGHT be gone by then! Fishing from the truck....kinda like ice fishing!

[@afrohman1]

Nice way to spend the day.

[@ssrc2013]

Man what a way to spend the day !!

[@keithdiaz2611]

What's the direction to that bank spot

[@Mel26Jay42]

There nothing like catch your limit so what other types of fish are found in this lake and do you have to worry about catch shark while fishing

[@lindaholliday1672]

Bass Classics and Tournaments . Very nice Boats. I'm thinking there was a Jake Robertson or I'm trying to remember. Paul Otts! And more. Shark tank and lengths. Alligator country and Frog gigging . A plus. Louisiana a conservative State. Hunting and Fishing licenses are sold at a higher price. Lake Pont., Laguna and Parish. Been to Houma, LA a couple times. Jennifer Lovell's daddy lived there. I called him cave man.

[@patriciawaltman4588]

In Florida We Can Only Have 1 Red Per Day. I Love The Taste Of Red Drum.

[@williemorgan327]

How far is this from gentilly in new orleans. Also did you only catch red fish or did you get any other bites as well. If so, what other fish.

[@CravinMorehead420]

Here in Florida its 18-27 inches and we can only keep one a day.

[@nickwegner9678]

Just wondering if you truck is supercharged or has turbos. Saw the boost gauge

[@aacinigarcia9078]

l live in baton rouge you can put the addrees where you are fishing please thanks good fishing

[@jamesatkins3992]

Nice catch 🐟Joe 👌

[@LeeWolfLittle]

Thru feb can go to bogue chitto wildlife refuge and other spots pamphlet at Walmart or cabela. Can hunt hog with dogs.

[@Brandon-lo9mm]

What road did you fish on by bonnet care spillway

[@valcorpening9807]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@gabrielrice2367]

Curious as to how to get to that pier. I was at pontchartrain today and couldn't find any deep water, granted I don't have access to a boat or kayak. Anyone have any tips to get to some deeper water?

[@thestew6-fam271]

What's up how do u get to this spot I'm from the east side of new orleans

[@Brandon-lo9mm]

Do you remember where was this spot by bonnet care spillway ?

[@andyfreer1343]

Nice catch do they taste nice

[@lennywells51]

I love the spillway!

[@j.f-ou812]

hey ,what time of year was that trip,was it mid winter or late fall just curious

[@mistaw35]

nice catch.. how would i get there from new orleans?

[@siaragoepfert5212]

Can have 3 lines per person here in WI

[@JerryTraegerSmoker]

So Joe What does Red fish taste compare to ? Thank you and have fun!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Its like a walleye or a northern pike I guess, its a white flakey fish when cooked, its really good.

[@scorphaloven3006]

Pretty smart for staying in car! XD

[@samuelrios3295]

Im gonna working in Louisiana near Laplace a couple of months, would you be able to tell me where this located more or less

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

It is by LaPlace but it is all closed down and has been for over 2 years. You can not get back there.

[@samuelrios3295]

@@JoeandZachSurvival thank you, really appreciate it. By any chance you would know anywhere near by LaPlace?

[@keithdiaz2611]

How you get to this location

[@chrisgautreau8607]

Hard to believe this was 6 years ago man!

[@kerryward6896]

HEY JOE, HOW FAR OUT WERE YOU FISHING ? CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME MORE CRAWDAD FISHSHING VIDS , ARE YOU STILL USEING MY TIP OF PUTTING THE BAIT IN SCREEN TO SAVE SOME BAIT ?

[@vandy619]

So you don't use any weight at the tip end? Or the float?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

vandy lam I did have a weight on it, if not I could not have casted out. The weights we use down there are heavier than what we use in MN but we don't have such nice shoreline fishing for that kind of fish. Thank you.

[@trehead21]

how can you get to this spot from new orleans

[@MobyDave1583]

Hey Joe. How many hooks are you allowed to have on your line? I am thinking a pickeral rig would be good there.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

You can have as many as you want. They use the multiple ones when fishing Speckled trout. I may be giving that a try as well after I get my fill of reds and get into some catfishing. Thanks. Joe

[@davidtyler7869]

how do u get there from the highway

[@squishy1127]

What other kinds of fish are you likely to catch in that lake?

[@TheOutdoorsman555]

Catfish, speckled trout, gar, bluegill, crappie, bass, and sometimes flounder

[@MegaRamos19]

Hey where you guys from?

[@03liltonyful]

Can you do a video of all the tackle you use for redfish?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I left my saltwater tackle box down at Melissas because there is no need for it up here at all. I will have to do one next time I am down there. Its simple though. I go to walmart and I buy the 18 to 30 inch (24 is my favorite but they all work) leader thing they have, I think its actually called a Redfish Rig but they have others that are close to the same that work just as good. A one ounce weight is ok and works fine IF its not windy and for shore fishing you need to get that bait out there so a 2 ounce is even better, some people like using 4 ounce but you better have a nice strong rod for that. I use a #3 hook but some people prefer them bigger, I like the #3 red ones from walmart. I get that set up on my rod and 20 pound test and then we would buy fresh shrimp off the side of the road in LaPlace. Some people claim you need to use live shrimp but if you watched all my redfish videos I caught plenty of fish and was using dead shrimp. I even bought some an Win Dixie the one day when the shrimp man wasnt there. Throw that out as far as you can and kick back and wait. I hope that helps. Joe.

[@03liltonyful]

Thanks Joe I love your videos. This helped me out a lot .

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Let me know how you do and where you are fishing. Thank you. Joe

[@MrJimbelt]

How long was the drive

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

1296 miles.

[@timg7856]

how do you get over there is pass by the spillway lots of times

[@thhdhn2]

Tim G , I wonder myself, how to get their.

[@tonychianese6050]

How big is that lake ?

[@lilybit996]

well, the causeway bridge across it is 27 miles. :)

[@ScratchinMyAss]

WTG Jo! Are you going to be down here long?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Another couple few weeks lol. Work slows down for me in the winter up in MN, I have several jobs coming up but with the cold weather it will be awhile until they are a go so I will be down here for awhile.

[@larrylhall]

What do those red fish taste like Joe?

[@PreachedRook63]

like dinner

[@CarlosPerez-2023]

Nothing like red fish on a half shell on the grill salt,pepper, and butter .

[@RWSBrowning]

I hate to think this video is over until there are fish on the plate. Part 2 coming up ?:)

[@lotzoso]

How much did that last fish weigh? It looked quite a bit bigger than the others.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

That last one was 5.2 pound. Thank you.

[@judkraft]

Great catch!

[@jamesgutierrez4152]

How long u in Louisiana?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

For sure a couple more weeks, maybe a month, it all depends on when work gets going up in MN. I may advertise down here to see if I cant pick up some construction projects while I am down here.

[@tusonkull18]

i gruw up about a mile away from the spillway ive fished hunted party bbqed over ther so i guess you could say that i gruw up in the spillway.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

angelo marks Awesome. I am flying down to Louisiana tomorrow morning. Melissa says its been a bit warm there the last couple weeks.

[@tini77]

+JoeandZachSurvival Update: I came off the same way driving an Accord :( Stupid me since the road seem so nice and flat but it was full of potholes and I was scared my car will be stuck in the mud going under the bridge so I turned around. Not sure if I went the right way but it looks the same as your video

[@bernieclement3373]

Good Day!

[@tusonkull18]

+larry hall heaven you should catch one and grill one if tou dont like it grilled the frie it and dip in some fancey sauce if you dont know what fancey sauce is well ill just let you make it you're self one put some ketcup the mayo then mix easy.

[@WHY70122]

Where exactly is this please? I never thought that this lake had many reds. I normally fish at the lakefront dr part of the lake and there's no red...

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

The spillway is on the south side of the lake. Thank you. Joe

[@contreeman]

GREAT FUN BROTHER.

[@oothoudtoutdoors279]

When are coming back to Minnesota

[@colehanemann8554]

I go there all the time the rocks go about 3-5 foot out than it's a muddy bottom

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Nice place to catch Redfish. Have they got the road fixed under the trestle bridge? I will be down there in a few weeks and want to try some fishing again.

[@21footxpress]

Thanks for sharing

[@flamedrag18]

do you use circle hooks or straight shank?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Straight shank.

[@flamedrag18]

JoeandZachSurvival circle hooks would increase your catch rate and damage the fish less if you're looking to release it, they don't gut hook fish. they also have the added benefit of hooking the fish without needing to touch the rod at all,

[@brett6204]

On lake ponchotrain?? Where??

Close to the spillway.

I am going to do a video on that sometime in the future. She commented on one of my CraYfishing videos and part of it was how its spelled craWfish.. LOL. I was going through my divorce and we just started chatting online.One year later I flew her up here and we spent our first 5 days together at The Tent. We have been a couple ever since. Lots more to say about that and I did say I would post a video about her when I did the "Please Help Melissa" flood video.
