    Default Spring Bayou 4/12/15


    Let me start off by saying this has been my worst Feb/March of my fishing life. Both bass and white perch. Anyway, having given up on the spawn, I decided to try Spring Bayou out on a post spawn trip knowing the bream may save the day.

    Started at first daylight and fished until about 10:00 with only one perch and it was tiny. My old spots were just not right and even the bream I caught were spread out. I was about to leave when I decided to try one more spot that I know very few people try. Started catching immediately. I caught and released 12 before I decided I should at least try to keep a mess. If you're wondering why I waiting that long it's because the size was pretty poor, and I thought the first few were going to be the end.

    Anyway, I caught most on chart/pump/chart triple tail grubs. Caught a few on the new Garland Itty Bit swim'r in Cajun Cricket. Total caught was a bit over 30. I kept 13, some of which had small egg sacks. My catch included:
    Black Crappie
    Largemouth Bass
    Bluegill
    Chinquapin
    Redspotted Sunfish
    Goggle eye
    Bullhead.

    The bluegill were huge, but not together.

    "Mudcat". I actually saw it come to the surface by a cypress tree and thought, "Wow, that's unusual." Then he bit my Itty Bit Swim'r.
    That's my livewell BTW.

    That's a nice mess of fish! I don't seem to have a lot of luck getting in on the spawn either due to work schedules and weekend weather. Just catch 'em when you can.

    Bullhead is almost like a knucklehead but he lives underwater.

    X2 what fishervet said. Fishervet, you and I must somehow be related. We have the same kind of luck with the fish. NONE! LOL!
