    Default Smarter I Get The Dumber I Feel -30 Fish


    Water is still high from the flood a month ago. Just isn't going down like normal. Been alternating between Lacassine and Mermentau and the last two trips had only one fish per day. So I headed out expecting nothing. First 3 hotspots scratched. The next not so hot spot gave me my first 3 and then after that it was on big time in an area the size of my yard (an acre). Kept 30 sacs and 4 bass. Even caught a spotted cat which is only supposed to hit live bait. That was probably my first and last for that. I meant to take pictures but dropped the fish off at grandson's and forgot.

    The water looked kinda low oxygen so I figured they would be in the top of the water column, but smart/dumb they were deep (5') and real close to the top also. Go figger. All caught on D&M with OCR trailer and nibbles. What part of that combo gets the credit. Seems like I need all the help I can get.

    This was supposed to be Lacassine day, but I got lazy and stopped short at the Merm. There doesn't seem to be any fish that I could find outside of that one little acre. I even went back to hotspot number one thinking that now the bite was on. Nothing there. River at 3.8' at the start of the day.

    Nothing wrong with thirty fish. Good catch. It would take me thirty fishing trips to catch that many.
    I can't leave now; They fixen to turn on.

    I agree with Deacon, 30 fish is a supper great trip. It has been a long long time since I managed to catch 30 crappie. Congratulations!

    I went Sunday in the Lake between teal hunts. I noticed in a protected area may flies every where. I switched to a grey ghost and started picking up a bunch of blue cats and a few sacs.

    It's going from nothing to good and back. IMHO the water needs to settle more for it to be consistent.
