anybody been on ouachita im going in the morning
I fish the west end all the time. The lake is 3.5 feet high right now but should be warming back up with the last few days of good sunshine.
I have had steady luck by jigging over brush with a red/white umbrella jig injected with nibbles. Also, in about 4-5 fow, I have been able to land some good slabs with No. 5 minnows, fished about 18" deep, being let down in the middle of buck brush.
I have not been in two days because I'm having some warranty work done on my boat trailer. Looks like I won't be able to hit the water until Thursday.
Have fun and let us know how you do.

had a friend that went down there last weekend and fished around the dock using a yellow colored jig and let it go to the bottom and pulled it up slow and they was soft bites but him and his kids just killed them
I DID get to go today for a few hours in the afternoon. The water temp ranges from 58.5 - 63 degrees. Caught 11, biggest 15.5" fishing in the buck brush at 18" with red/white jig tipped with a rosey red.
Water up South Fork is a little dirty for me, but still managed four up the river. Returned to Denby and fished the exposed brush and did okay. Once past Twin Creeks ramp the water is a beautiful color, calm as an Egyptian tomb...just the way I like it.

using your technique. Maybe that's what I need to do to really slaughter them. Who woulda thunk of fishin the docks during the Spring?Quote:
