    Default 1/25/2025 Lowest Bayou Lacombe We Have Ever Seen


    On Saturday at 2 pm Austin and I launched at Main St. The water was down further than I've ever seen it. Great time to check out all the downed trees and structure that is normally under water. Water was raising hard and the water temp was a chilly 46 F. We caught a few at different spots but never found any large number of sacalait grouped together. The further south spots were vacant of any fish probably due to the very very low water and as the tide rose it pushed in salty lake water up the bayou. Ended up keeping 4 nice blacks and threw back about double that in tacos. The sacalait had large yellow sacks of eggs which I discovered when I cleaned the fish for dinner. All fish caught on Bobby G baby shad plastics. Color didn't seem to matter. The fish were caught off the very bottom which in Bayou Lacombe is usually around 10 to 14 ft. deep at its deepest points.


    Put it on the trailer by 5 pm as the wind picked up and it started to get uncomfortably cold for these Southeran boys. The 3 hour trip assured us that some blacks are already spawning and that they are not grouped up on structure yet.


    Bon Temps!!

    Nice picture Bud. I will see you in the morning about 9am with Tamales. Tim went for a last ride today and sent me a picture of the highest recorded speed, it was 66mph. I think he will be depressed tomorrow when I pull out of his driveway.

    That boat has been his pride and joy for 20 plus years. Yes, I agree heartbreaking moment as it rolls off. He has caught thousands of sacalait on the front of that blue champion.
    See you in the morning.

    Bon Temps!!

    Great post. The water was still pretty low on Sunday, we found a wad of fish on the south end but the outdoor temperature was definitely much warmer than the day before. They seemed pretty aggressive but wanted a smaller profile bait.
