    Default Looking for information on Tickfaw/Natalbany River


    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking for information on fishing the Tickfaw and Natalbany Rivers near Springfield, LA. I spend about four days a week on my Chris Craft moored there, but have not had much luck fishing.

    Thanks,
    Clint

    Jcchev, welcome to the forum. There are a few here that fish that area a bit. You can use the search bar at the top of the page to search for reports from the passed, some may help. I would start by fishing the docks and canals south of hwy 22 bridge. There are a lot of fish there, but they are not always cooperative. Also, look for downed trees or structure that is in deeper water this time of year. I recommend learning 1 area at a time. The more you move, the more likely you are to run right past good fishing spots. I have the tan xpress center console with the crappie.com sticker on the console. Feel free to stop by and chat if you see me. Im always happy to help. Good luck!

    Thanks for the info. I have the WET & WILD, 1972 Chris Craft Commander Yachtfish, at Tickfaw Marina, Slip 16. I also keep a 21' Cajun center console in a nearby slip. I used to catch a lot of crappie in areas just like you describe, but haven't found them in quite a while. Maybe we can hook up together sometime. My slip look onto the fuel dock at the Tickfaw Store.

    Small world. I knew Dickie and still have contact with Pam. Dickie died a few years back. He was quite a guy.

    Hi jcchev,

    I haven't fished local in a while so I can't give you currant info but as stated above tide is probably the most important thing to watch, or course a falling tide is best. For me fishing is usually slow here except for spring time when sac au lait and bream are bedding, fishing is great under the gum trees when the worms are out.
