good place to try within driving distance of Monroe.
Hello everyone. I'm fairly new on here. I just bought my first boat last week (Im 20 years old) and Ive taken it fishing a couple of times but havent had much luck. Was hoping to get some feedback on good places to fish in the Northern part of the start (around Monroe) or different methods to try. I mainly like to fish with shiners and a cork. I just like watching that cork go under, (and thats the way Ive grown up fishing with my dad and grandpa). Im open to any tips on how to catch fish this time of the year. I dont have a wide variety of jigs and crankbaits in my tacklebox but I do have a few!
Thanks

Welcome and I love to see that cork go under too but I aint opposed to fish with whatever they will bite! Darbonne as the others have mentioned is a great lake to fish and not terribly far from West Monroe. Come see us at the gathering in November. Great to have some younger guys on here too! Thanks for signing up!
