I fish Chicot quite often and I know what you mean about all the catfish, we usually catch all we want with crickets bream fishing. But that's all right with me, I like catfish and it always keeps us with fish. Those yellow bass can really be pesky when trying to crappie fish. Bass fishing has usually been good the last few years and caught some real nice crappie back in March. I'll be heading that way in a couple of weeks, I moved further off and can't get down there as much as I would like to. Glad you had a good time.
