Long Time no see

Hey peeps its been a long time since I have logged on. I joined this site in 2004 as Jeffro and at some point switched over to my name. last few years my fishing has slowed down but I'm back in action full force now . I fish Black Bayou in Hosston La and Caddo lake mostly. Black bayou Hosston is turning on as well as Caddo. Been catching black crappie on BB and white on caddo. BB fish come off single trees , cork/jig rig orange and chart. Caddo fish are coming from the cypress flats 3' deep ,fishing shiners 18" under cork. I have been consistently catching a few fish but with these warmer nights its fixing to be on !
I see some of you fish Cypress in Benton. I camped there few ears ago and wondered how the crappie fishing was .I live in Vivian so BB and Caddo lake are basically at my door step but I am thinking of giving Cypress in Beton a try. Anyway I wanted to check in and say Hi.Ill be uploading pics and reports as soon as I get back savvy with the website, its been a long time.

Welcome back..looking forward your posts....

Hi Jeff, good to see you back again.

I've been doing pretty good on Cypress. Last week I was catching 8ft deep in 10ft water in the skinny channel next to shallow flats north of 162 bridge. They should definitely be spawning. Water was 65 degrees last week.

Thanks for that info ! I’ll have to learn where everything is but I’d like to start fishing there a little.

Welcome back man. My fishing slowed down as well, so I sort of just troll this forum now. :)

Did manage to go fishing for the first time this year, and went to BB in Hosston yesterday, thinking I'd find some of those big chinks on the bank. Finally picked up 6 and 1 crappie on a worm.

Some guys loading at the same time said they had 25 crappie, coming on shiners 16 inch deep right off the trees, and water was about 6 ft. I tried jigs a few times, but must have been fishing too deep the entire time. Guess that's what happens when you get out of practice. :)

I right line the single trees west of hog island. Sometimes I use a cork rig about 18” sometime 36”. The church now should be doing their thing any time now ! I fish out of a Camo painted excel boat 70 Yamaha that’s not Camo. Holler at me if ya ever see me out there !
