There are several people from south Louisiana who fish the lake every spring. I don't remember all of them, but I think one of them is a member of the board and goes by bobfish1. Don't know him personally, but he is one heck of a crappie fisherman. Everyone else is pretty much right about fishing the lake, but this guy catches more BIG fish out of there than anyone else I know. I believe he could catch crappie out of a road ditch. I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning him.

Welcome to the board and one precaution. If you decide to fish on your own beware that not all of the open water is DEEP water. There are some places out in the open water that are only 1-2 feet deep and would tear up a fellows boat if hit at a high rate of speed. With all of that said, good luck while up here.
