    Default Bayou Sorrel


    Went to Sorrel this morning. Water was high and in the woods. Also it looked like coffee when you pour creme in and don't stir it. Really weird thing happened today though. I could be in 7-8 ft of water and the trolling motor would kick up tons of mud. Just like it was buried in the bottom, but it wasn't. And sometimes, if I jerked my stopper too hard, it would stir up mud as well. Was the water saturated with mud? Never seen that before.
    Anyway, we didn't even have a bump and threw worms and jigs. They didn't want anything to do with us today. Talked to a lady running trot lines and she only had a couple of small yellow cats. It was dead back there.

    Thanks for the report. Bad ones are just as important as the good.

    Here's a pic from Little Alabama Bayou:

    We tried to think of a place not affected by rising water, the Big Alabama was high and muddy, so we put in at the Little Alabama. Some spots were so clear you could see a spinnerbait laying on the bottom in 8.5' of water. We drowned a few shiners (4), it was dead, there might be a fish in there somewhere, corks broke off in trees all over. Seeing a fish on the sonar was extremely rare, there were a lot of fishing birds in there, but they must have been stupid. I have no idea where the fish were hiding, it was nice to get out and shake the dust of the boat and fishing gear, but I doubt I'll ever put in at the Little Alabama again.

    PS, did you happen to fish the Butte LaRose Canal today? Curious how the water looks in there? Usually a good area when the water is rising....
