I drew straws today - Pics

I have only been able to fish a couple of times in the past month (deer season prep is taking up a lot of fishing time) so I was ready to hammer on 'em pretty good this weekend. I had very recent and reliable reports from four of my favorite fishin' holes so I drew straws last night to decide where to go. The choices were: Ferguson, Lee, Darbonne, and Rockpile. The Rockpile won out so I headed South to Louisiana to put a tattoo on some Mississippi River Crappie. I caught a limit of 50 good slabs by 3:30. I caught these trolling fast just off the bottom in 12-16 FOW. They were all caught on Bobby Garland baby shads. Attachment 71501 Attachment 71502 Attachment 71503

Yea, we are lucky to live in a fishing paradise! One of my fishing buddies caught 50 at Darbonne on Friday and they been thumpin'em pretty good on the other lakes I mentioned quite regularly for the past few weeks.

WTG Steve! Rockpile should be kinda low by now? The others you mentioned sure are. It's a fine set of straws we have to draw from, huh? LOL

Nice catch! I know for a fact you were not the only one in there. Did you catch any on the tree top left of ramp?

I know that tree top but I actually was about 3/4 mile to the right of the ramp trolling the middle around one of my honeyholes! I had a couple of buddies who stayed around the ramp that did pretty well (61). I lost a couple of roadrunners in that top a couple of weeks ago! Another buddy who was trolling in the same area as me also got a limit. With the front coming in the next few days will probably slow the bite.

It's bad low Bill! Good thing the ramp is clean. I took the 20 ft Triton (cause I wanted to play with the side imaging) and had no problem putting it in the water. Most of the Rockpile is about 8 ft right now....have to find the deeper water. I didn't try going out into the river but it might not be possible right now.
