Honey Island Swamp

[Micropterus salmoides]

Pearl just started falling outta flood stage. Had a 3 hr window in swamp to try out my spring jigs.

These'ens I fished



The blue thunder n green glow body worked best.









Not a mess but some good'ns waving their colors. I've got their # now.

[prefers shiners]

Oh yeah......that is definitely a mess......must feel good to catch them on your own baits.......those are pretty....

[Fish on Line]

You made some very nice jigs and they looked good to the fish

[Greybeard52]

Glade to hear the rivers falling. Very nice catch. Those jigs look great! Coming in from offshore this week, and hope to get in the Honey Island or around Lock-1 area next week!!

Nice mess of fish and good looking jigs to boot

[jig rig]

Nice catch Adam. I would have thought you guys would be getting a rise.

[PawPaw Gene]

Isn't that satisfying, tying your own and then catching your supper. Besides the nice looking jigs I notice you have an antique trolling motor in picture #3 and a home tied anchor in pic #4. Nothing beats low tech fun. Thanks for the pictures and report.

Grey beard, if u come this way, yell.

I tie my jigs based off what works for me. Have many diff approaches for seasons. These are sparse.
If they don't work, I always have BGs as a backup.

Beeeen up for a while. Slowly dropping since yesterday. BUT got that spring rise coming Tuesdayish. It's rough.
We need some fish bowls like others.

Mr Gene, it's the only way I know.
Think I'd be H E double hockey sticks if I could get a rig set up.

Thx for all the looks and compliments.
At a good point in my life and fishing is just a bonus.

I'll have to yell at you one day, I used to live off Singltary Rd. once upon a time, and fished Lock One area a lot! Now I'm in Covington and work a lot more than I fish!
