On DA Bayou 12/20/2023

[BON TEMPS]

Fished today on Bayou Lacombe. Launched at 1:30 and back on the trailer by 3. Ended up with 7 Sacalait and a couple of large mouth bass. All fish caught on Itty Bitty Bobby G 1/64 jig. Interesting thing was Monday on the same bayou all fish were caught in side canals which were 4 degrees warmer than the main bayou. Today all fish caught on the main bayou which was 3 degrees warmer than the side canals. Lesson learned fish the warmer water to catch fish.

My grandson Austin is out of commission for a while. He broke his collar bone playing in a school soccer game and is scheduled for surgery Friday morning because it is broken into 2 pieces and requires a metal plate installation. Keep him in your prayers as he is not looking forward to his first surgery Friday or his second in 3 months when they go back in to remove the plate. Thanks.

Bon Temps!!

Good job catching. Hate to hear of grandsons accident. Hopefully he heals up fully and quickly. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you catch on fast. We will be keeping thoughts for your grandson my friend. I started to see if you wanted to go yesterday but thought better with the 2 very cold nights we had. Glad I didn't call with 52 degree water the fish leave for the main river and deep water.

Nice catch. Prayers for your grand son.

Prayers for grandson. I got three grandsons, they all three break bones worse than “Evil Kaevil” the old motorcycle stunt man.

As for the warm water, I also went yesterday they were in warmer water. They also bit smaller baits. Lots of shorts and a hand full of 10’s to 12’s. Fish would literally approach the bait and follow it but back off. Tried several other tactics even adding scent but with about same reaction. One thing I did notice on the few 12’s I brought home, belly’s were full of minnows and smaller shad.
