Thread: Black Bayou - Cypress and Hosston 4/19/14

HAPPY EASTER my fellow CDC members!!

Got a call from Doc about heading to Cypress yesterday, so I went and met him. Good to see him back in the saddle.

Fished Cypress Black Bayou from about 7 to 10:30. Shiners first, then tried some jigs, and had a hard time locating them. Didn't sound like anyone was having much luck. Finally found 3 good ones in about 15 ft of water, about 5 feet down. Caught them on shiners. Biggest was 13.5 inches.

Since they were't jumping in the boat, we didn't stay too long, but the weather was great, so I went home, finished installing a new depthfinder and headed to Hosston. Been wanting to try it out. Managed another 7 solid fish, not quite as big as the first 3. Didn't catch any dinks all day. First time to really get around on that lake, but I hear it's shallow all over. Couldn't find one against a tree, but in open water 5 ft deep they were biting a little. Caught 3-4 on shiners 2 ft deep under a cork, and the others on a road runner looking thing..black and green, hair instead of plastic. Thank you to whoever gave it to me.



Big surprise I found, was 8 of the 10 fish still had eggs. And I'm not an expert, but some didn't look ready to drop....for those who say they've missed the spawn, there's hope yet. lol

great catch and awesome pictures.....
