If it's not muddy I bet there will be plenty of boats there.
Fished it last Saturday the water is up but not as muddy as I thought it would be. Caught 30-40 dinks. No slabs. There was a local bass club tournament with about 30 boats. When I came out at 11:30 the parking lot was full.
Thanks for info petercreek
Hey Dropoff - I fished there Sunday and the water covers the dock walkway at the dam. I caught fish. It will be packed. Use a small jig 1/16 red or black and chartruce and fish the tops. With the water high the tops are everywere. Hope to see you there in the wind and rain. Stick steering seaark tan.
Thanks billy , I'll be there in a camo express with a tiller 50 HP merc. I'll be spider riggin. Hope to see ya there

Caught close to 40 but mostly dinks. Wish the rain wouldn't have stopped, cause when it quit the wind got bad

I got there about 2 or so. Wind was terrible. Wind did die down late evening and made fishing a little easier.

go to lake charles. you won't have to take your own tree to fish. i was by there today and there were only 3 trucks with trailers at the ramp. there's no doubt in my mind that they were just absolutely loading the boat with big crappie. and my mind hasn't failed me lately.
i don't remember if it has.
Loading the boat with big crappie or little crappie is all good. They all taste the same and since the invention of photo shop, the fish can be as big as you want them to be.

After. My foootooo shop skills are about like my fishing skills.
rc, the sinker is nearly as big as the fish.
If they don't bite, no problem. Just knock em in the head with a big honkin chunk a lead.
that will work in clear or muddy water.
