Sorry, I just saw your post. I've been at Toledo Bend the last 2 days and did not check in to CDC. Chicot is pretty much my home lake. Definitely fish the North end. In fact , go ahead and trailer your boat and launch at the north end. You can start fishing right there where you launch. Fish between the buoys and the levee in the grass. I fish a jig under a cork about 18". You'll catch bream, crappie and chickapin on the same thing. Blue and white is my favorite color on a 1/32 ounce jighead. If no luck there, go into the trees on the opposite side of the buoys and dip jigs next to the trees. If nothing there, go to the Conservation Lodge cove. You're not far from it, but you have to know where it is to find it. check a map. a friend caught 12 there 2 weeks ago on Cajun cricket. Pretty grassy though. Good luck.
