I went back yesterday and fished the areas I caught on Thursday. I kept 11 sacs. 9 where whites, 1 black, and 1 racing striped. Threw back a few babies too. I caught them shallow 10 inches deep on 3 to 8 fow. Some where in spots I catch them during the spawn. I brought my gopro and made a movie. Once I figure how to post it I will. My batteries went dead after the second fish. Lesson learned. Its a shame cus in one spot I caught 5 back to back as soon as the cork hit the water. I would of loved to of filmed that. I did get to film the big crappie that has gotten of on my last 3 trips in the same spot. Sucker got off again. I am thinking of using a treble hook in that spot next trip...lol. It was nice fishing in the shade for a change. I found an old chair umbrella my parents bought for their tracker back in 93. It has never been used. I called them and said since yall haven't used it in 21 years I am stealing it...lol. Works good just has a little rust. I slept in today planning an afternoon trip to the Calcasieu but it was just too hot today. I even loaded the boat then went inside and thought how nice the ac felt and unloaded the boat. I will go in the am. Here area few scenery pics for yalls enjoyment.
Good catch. Thanks for the share
Looks like a really nice place to fish!
It is a great place to fish. Lots of ag run off so rarely clears up north of hwy 14. Most successful fishermen have lots of brush piles. Not a lot of people fish it. Only 2 launches to access it. Gary's landing east of Lake Arthur off Hwy 14 and Talen's Landing rd for south end and Loraine Bridge launch off hwy 101 between Laccassine and Haye's for north end. To run from Loraine to the intracoastal canal is about 20 miles. From Gary's its about 5 miles to the bayou and you have to go thru the Streeter's canals to get into the bayou around the intracoastal area. For me coming from Lake Charles I burn 1 gallon less in both truck and boat by launching at Loraine. It gets really wide on the south end. On that 20 mile stretch there is only 3 areas of camps. It is very scenic.
Great pictures! Nice shiner cooler you have as well. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes since I made that shiner cooler I have kept shiners for days with out loosing any. I got tired of the cheap aerators and bought a live well aerator.
Nice catch. Love the pictures.
