• Another Decent Atchafalaya Basin Trip

    Went back to the same area yesterday as I did two weeks ago. River is dropping again, so it takes a while to idle through the cypress tree swamp to get there. Found them in the same general area. Water level in the open lake area averages about 3.5- 4 feet, but there is one "deep" area about 6 feet deep in the middle of the open water with a little structure. Caught them about 4' deep under a slip cork with a 1/64 oz jig head and tiny black and chartreuse curly tail jig. Also caught several casting and slow reeling a new color (Goblin Snot) Slab Curly crappie magnet jig. The little bass was a fun bonus, reeling him in on a 7' Sam Heaton Super Sensitive rod....felt like a 10 lber! Beautiful day in a beautiful area, so I'm very thankful.

      Been launching at the Sandy Cove Landing and going to Gravenburg. It’s been one of the few places in our area where you can go with the river level so low, and has been producing big fish. However over the last few days, seems to be slowing down. It’s been getting a lot of pressure.
