Got here mid morning on Saturday after 16 hours of driving. After resting a bit we took a drive to buy fishing license and check out boat launches. Decided to fish Cheniere on Sunday. This is 3,600 acres of flooded cyprus trees. We were on the water at 8 am and started out flipping jigs around the cyprus roots. No luck. Next was worms and bobbers. No luck. We then decided to explore and got a little turned around but managed to find an open area known as Pucketts lake. No luck. More exploring through trees close enough together that we had to work to find a way through. About 5:30 we made it back to the launch and decided to finish the day fishing that area. We found some bluegills willing to bite and ended up with 4 keepers. Monday we decided on Caney Lake, a 5,000 acre impoundment near Chatham. The day started slow fishing around sunken brush piles and stake beds in 26 fow. Marked lots of fish but no takers. Next was slow drifting with 1/16th oz jigs and Mr Crappie tubes in black/pink. Also jigs tipped with shinners. Bingo! First fish was a 10 1/2" bluegill. Wasn't real fast action but did manage to catch some crappie and bass and ended the day with 8 keepers in the box. Warm, sunny and calm winds, perfect day to be on the water. We are working on getting pics added. I'll add more as the week goes on.
