Lake Ouachita Limit

They made me work for it but I managed to catch a limit on Ouachita this morning.

Good catch, started out nice here but wind was picking up before I quit. Guess that big old lake gets real windy.

It can get to be a handful real fast in the wind. I was fishing some pretty wind guarded areas this morning so it wasn't bad at all. It was real good this morning right after daylight then slowed down. It seemed the bite picked back up when the wind started. Guess the fish moved up in the water column with the surface getting stirred up some.

Nimrod is unusually clear this year and not real deep so wind has helped catch fish. When it slicks off and sun is out bite can be tough.

Some Pretty SPecs right there.

No, I was over around Crystal. I don't fish the north side of the lake very often.

Nice bunch of blacks

Those are some nice blacks

Good job. I used to fish out of Crystal. But, since the moss disappeared, it has become a new lake to me. I fished around Denby earlier in the year for the first time. I really like that part of the lake.

Yes since the moss has gonna the fishing has gotten a lot tougher imo

How deep does a fellow need to fish, on Ouachita, this time of year...I plan a trip to the state park, in June...unless I hire a guide, I'll just be starting blind, check "out" some points, look for the thermocline....spider rig....

Dang i miss that coontail moss!

That is pretty awesome. Was you using Buckwheat or Spanky?

Fish are holding 16-18 feet deep right now. You need to find some brush piles. If you are able to to do that then fish some points with standing timber that run off into creek channels.

Thanks Slab, those are some nice fish, getting ready to retire, hope to become crappie ninja, and golfing weedhopper.....good luck w/summer fishing
