Thread: Anyone fished Darbonne?

Fished from daylight to 11 not even a bump.

Just left Hwy2 around 3pm today. Lots of current and muddy. Talk to several people most I heard was one guy had 12 and I watched him catch 5 of those. For me not even a bump. Weather has to get right.

Sounds like my day, fished poverty point three hrs without a bump, nibble, scratch or tic....

So what has the water temps been lately? I heard it was low 50's a few weeks ago and I believe I read low 40's in a previous post above? That's a big drop. But.........stained to muddy water can warm quickly with 3 days of warm weather.

Think they will spawn out regardless of water temps? I know on my lake they have done that before. Last year it was super cold temps and fish spawned anyway.

Caught 1 this afternoon. Water looked ok but temp had really dropped. I watch some men catching a few out in the flat next to channel (HWY2). Talked to some friends that fished near Terral Island and Jakes. One had 5 the other 2 boats didn't get a bite. Not a good day.

That's the problem Ozark Angler. We will get a few days of warm weather then it drops into the 20's at night for three or four days and then we're back to the same ole cold water temps. Ready for spring sick of cold wet Louisiana weather. I know I'll be screaming for a cool front when we get to July but I have had enough of this rain and cold. I've got fish to catch.

Yep. Same thing up here in the Ozarks.

My friends have been catching pre-spawn stripers up to 40lbs and I have yet to get one. As soon as we get on a bite the weather shuts it down before I can get out there and catch one. Hoping to get one in a few weeks and then make a trip down to D'arbonne.

Thinking of renting one of the cabins at the state park. That a good option?

I don't look for water temps to rise much in the next couple of weeks. Supposed to be colder than normal this week and rain 4-5 days.
