    I've been communicating with Josh and he sent me some pictures to post until he can get up to speed. Boy does he live in a paradise, it's right out his back door. He fishes some structure he has put out and also fishes at night under a green light. He does his best to rid the lake of large predators to keep them from eating the slabs. Do you agree with me that he has his own little paradise. Here are a few of the picts he sent me.

    First of all his back yard



    Some very nice structures he builds.



    Some slabs that he caught.





    Some of the slab killers he gets rid of.

    Andrew, it looks like you got this crappie fishing figured out. Welcome to the Louisiana forum. I haven't fished Lake St. John in many years, but mu father-in-law and I used to go and wear them out. We mostly fished the boat houses on the side of the lake opposite of the store and boat launch. However, there were a few boat houses on the other side we fished also. By the time I met him my father-in-law had been fishing St. John so long that he knew which boat houses would hold fish and which ones didn't. So, we would just move around from one boat house to another until we had all of the fish we wanted to clean for the day. That is a beautiful lake. Back when we fished it, it had some of the biggest bluegills I have ever seen in it and had one very nice population of catfish. Many moons ago my brother and I spent the weekend down there. We hung out yo-yos hoping to catch crappie, but could not keep the 1-3 lb. catfish off of them.

    You have sparked my interest again and dug up all kinds of memories. All good! Thanks.
    The Lord is good. His mercy and love endures forever.

    It is still full of catfish and bream, the bream are not as big as they were then. I have heard stories just like you said. I have been catching fish in boat houses and the trees also. All these fish didn't come out of St. John. This will be my 2nd yr fishing for perch I've learned slot on trial and error and reading forums. I also fish for them everyday.
