Cypress/Black Bayou

It was an expensive day on the water in the tune of $692. I guess my cell phone wanted to play with the fish in 9' of water, I am not going to swim after it in 66 F surface temps. Mother Nature hampered the trip with her wind machine. My nephew and I threw back 20+ perch, honestly, I wish I could give you an accurate number. We ended up bringing home 38 on a windy day. We would start catching fish, and the wind would blow us off our spot. If not for the wind, we would have caught a minimum of 60 to bring home. Although, that is why it is called fishing, and not catching. In the grand scheme of things, it was nice to be out on the water, and relaxing. Fish will be weighed and cleaned in the am.

That's enough to clean anyway. Got to leave some for seed. Tough luck on the phone though. And welcome to the sight, nice way to start posting. If you want us to know where you from ,go back in your profile and type it in front of Louisiana.

​Great catch! That's too bad about your phone, though.

You catching them shallow? I went for three hours last Saturday and kept 26 and threw back at least 30. I was fishing the channel near the hwy 162 launch. Tried to fish some shallow water but got tired of fighting the wind.

Congratulations on the catch. Hate to hear about the phone.

The 7 fish on the cutting board are from 1 lb 3 oz to 1 lb to 9 oz. There were several more +/- 1 lb by an oz or less. The fish were in depth ranges of 2-9 fow. Also, I will look at my profile, and update the fact that I live in Haughton.
