Lafouche Lake 2-9-2018 and 2-12-2018

I purchased a new camp back in December on Lafouche Lake near Columbia, La. on the north side of Bouef WMA. I had some additions and remodeling done and just moved in about 3 weeks ago. I have been working constantly on it, putting up stuff on the walls and placing everything. I told my wife, the next time I go, I'm bringing my boat.

I got there on Friday at around 2pm and hit the water at 3. My first fish was a whopper. I was spider rigging shiners about 10 ft deep. There were about 10 boats around me and they were all catching pretty good. From what I could tell, they were mostly using small jigs.

I ended up with 22, but kept 14 fish that were 10" or more. I had 4 really big fish. I took a pic while they were in a blue bucket, but it didn't come out well.

Then, the storm blew in Friday nite and turned REAL COLD. I didn't get back onto the lake until Tuesday morning. It was still pretty cold and I only caught 4 or 5, but I did manage to catch a 2lb 2oz slab. Here are a few pics.

That's some pretty water. Most of ours is very muddy.

Man that looks like a beautiful place! Some quality fish there too! Thanks for sharing.

I have fished that body of water many times in my younger days. Lots of good fish in it. Congratulations on your catch!

Nice feesh. Biggun

Now you'll be living the life of Riley. Enjoy it to the fullest. I've missed that part of my dream.
