Advice on fishing in Lake Bigeaux or thereabouts.

I am hoping some of you veteran fisherman in the area of Lake Bigeaux or nearby will advise me. We have never fished that area but always had an interest. My husband, sister-in-law, and I are going with our nephew and his wife. So hope to combined the best of both worlds :) Good company and good fishing Usually fish Larto Lake, but are planning on giving it a try Thursday and Friday. This location is about half the distance to Larto so we could have some mini fishing trips ahead of us. Any information or advice would be certainly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Honeyjan3 . . . I was out there this morning, Monday 7-15-13 . . . very few boats in Bijoux. The bite is in the west right across from McGee's Landing on the west side (Welcome To McGees Landing). You better hurry and get out there since the water is dropping well now and the bite is slower than it was last week. You'll see the boats as you head east from the landing. You can catch them on pumpkin/chartreuse tube jigs as well as pumpkin/chartreuse tail crappie wedgetail minnows by Stanley. We kept maybe 15 out of 35 fish.

Welcome to the forum speckmeister, glad you are with us.

Honey, Bigeaux is in the same area as all posts here on Henderson - it's the same place.

north bijeau is still producing fish you just gotta look find them and it isnt real hard i fish henderson everyday and have never stopped catching in there and i dont mess around with the HUGE!!!! crowd in front of the landings!!! north pelba is also biting real well just find good water!!!

Thank you so much for your response. I am very excited about trying a new place. I will certainly let you know how we do. My husband can stay and fish in one spot if he even "thinks a bite is soon to come" :))))). I hope for a bite on the next spot we try. :))))) Either way I know we will have an enjoyable time. Thanks again

Thank you so much for your response. I certainly appreciate the information and will let you know how we do. We are excited about trying a new "fishing hole" as well as spending time with our family. Thanks again.

Be sure to bring some crickets or a net to scoop up grass shrimp from the hyacinth out there. Place is full of big bream and they pull a little harder. Its a large place and you can definitely get away from crowds. Too pretty a place to be looking at 50 other boats:welcome

welcome to the forum and good luck Thursday and Friday........:welcome

Seems I must need some more advice:)). We fished in pelba area and
Had very little luck. Three baby bream. Lol. Probably 15 gar. Uck! We r going back tomorrow and hope for the best. We used jigs, crickets, shiners, bubble gum. ( not really) all help appreciated. Thanks In advance

Speckmeister, welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing info

Honey hope you fare better today. Sometimes it take a few tries to get it all together but when you do, you'll be hammering them like a pro.

Swampers, I don't recall welcoming you to the site so I might be a little late. I'm been having other issues to deal with besides fishing lately but the time is coming. It must be nice to be able to live so close to Henderson to be able to fish it at the drop of a hat. I've only been there once but would go more ofter if I didn't have a 2 hour drive. Keep us informed on the bite and show us some pictures.
