Fished out of Orange Grove yesterday evening for a couple hours and put together a nice little mess for Friday evening's supper! Fish in upper right hand corner of pic had orange flesh when fileted. Never saw this before. A little more than half of this catch was full of eggs. Water temps at surface were 68 degrees. Wish I wouldn't have run out of daylight!........:banghead
Saints fish. Nice.
Hey Coon, great catch. I was out there for a little while but had to came in early. I did manage to finally pull out 8 sacs and a few bass. Supposedly it was to be an afternoon bite according to the solunar calendar. I catch a few of the yellow fleshed sac every year and some have a darker orange flesh, still good to eat. I only saw two boats, one with a man and wife team and they were traveling, one one ranger with two youngster bass fishing.

Good haul. I've haven't seen any orange fleshed ones yet but a couple of mine have had eggs.
Thanks for the replies.........Gene, the launch at Cannons was about half full when I left out, but I only saw one mud boat in the area I fished in the grove......Never heard anyone running around either! Most boats must be running to Lake DeCade and fishing the Lake Penchant area. That's fine by me!.......:biggrin
most people are in 70 mile(late afternoon bite) although thats not where i was. plus lot of other places to scatter out. i kept 34 yesterday caught about 50 i guess but didnt want to keep that many and had few small fish. will post a report later Sure wish i was back out today gotta work i guess
Yeah, I wish I could be out there today also. I had the opportunity but not the availability, other things on the menu.

Nice catch
Nice catch. Gonna try to get out this week and see if I can catch a few muself. Sounds like the water is getting right. Thanks for sharing.
I hear bayou black is a great place to fish!! Wish I knew my way around on that end!!
Thanks fellas! I was gonna try again today, but that 20 mph wind made be hold off. Hoping the water still looks good by the weekend. Swampman, Bayou Black is a great place to fish. I feel blessed to live in this area. Hundreds of oilfield canals that can be accessed from the Intracoastal Waterway between Houma and Morgan City.
Coon popper. Don't let the wind deter you. It may be bothersome. But the best days in our area are the windiest days like today when front coming in. I spent the day in wishing I was in it . One of my good friends had a great day today. When its windy once you fid them anchor out. During spawn where there s one there s usually many more
Nice catch
Father in law has a camp about 1/4 mile from bayou black marina may have to drive down one weekend!!!Quote:
