This place is a must for the natives who've been fishing here since before Katrina. Police run you off after 10PM at the lakefront so night fishing now is difficult. We need this pier back! Beuracracy stalled them from repairing then and is stalling now after Ida. Recommended attending council meetings and put a lighter underneath their @$$. This little town became snobby after the post Katrina development and with the money they take from us now, they can afford it

Questions & Answers

When will yall reopen the Pier

They first need to reconstuct it which Is going to take some time because they are in the process in starting the phase of building a berm between Mandeville Lakefront to Sunset Point. It would be ideal that the city fixed the piers first but either way in time, the Piers and park will be restored to Pre-Hurricane Ida.

Can you bank fish near the pier?

I believe most officials urge that visitors stay on the pier, or on the paved walks & lots.

why is it closed?

Marina Church | Mar 31, 2022

Its closed because of the damage the pier took during Hurricane Ida. The park itself is open however the pier is unwalkable.

OS this saltwater or freshwater

The Lake is brackish, receiving freshwater from Lake Maurepas, the Tangipahoa and Tchefuncte Rivers, Bayous Lacombe and Bonfouca, as well as drainage canals, and saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico. This combination and the resultant surrounding wetlands form a complex estuarine ecosystem

Are they still open 24 hrs? I thought I saw a gate there with a sign that said dawn to dusk.

Temporarily closed due the destruction of Hurricane Ida. The sign you speak of was during Covid's uncertainty. Otherwise they do offer a 24 hour access schedule being most fishermen fish solely at night til early mornings. It is patrolled by Mandeville Police Department and live safety cameras. The ladies and gentlemen that fish for sport take it seriously and usually let the traffic from the youth die down before transitioning them out for the sport.

Is there any place around there to rent fishing poles?

Curtis Pratt | Sep 27, 2021
Tiffany Stockstill | Sep 27, 2021

No. The people that do fish here take it quite seriously and are usually equipped with their own sporting tools. You can try Super Walmart in Covington however for a pole.

The pier is down at the moment due to Ida but to answer your question for regular operational hours , yes you can crab but you would need a longer rope at the piers railings are a bit higher. Im not sure it would be very comfortable but yes you can crab.

Can I catch redfish here?

Jeff Drinkwater, Little Easy | Sep 27, 2020
Tiffany Stockstill | Sep 27, 2021

Yes, The redfish bite in May is great and will continue throughout the summer. Usually associated with a trout bite, diving seagulls in Lake Pontchartrain tend to be a signal that redfish are underneath especailly along the Northern shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain. No suggesting it though if you understand what's in the lake.

Is sunset point still closed because of the water issue?
