Hello all... Been lurking around here for a while, so figured I'd join. Grew up fishing for whatever would bite, then got into bass tournaments. After years of tournament fishing, I'm trying to get back to my roots. Started seriously perch jerking last year and love it. Been catching them good around Jake's (18ft in 30 fow) so I figured I'd try it for a while under the 33 bridge last night. Only caught a few. Shiners about 15ft in 20-25 fow. Lots of barfish. Ready for it to warm up!
Welcome to North Louisiana :welcome
Welcome, the only time I ever night fished the bone I whacked em, that was in the fall though. I wish the lake commission would keep the lights up better than they are
Welcome from Baton Rouge...........
welcome from sunset...carencro....and lafayette
Welcome La PJ, glad you joined on up! Them boats were pretty thick out there today. I'm with you on the warming up, I'm sick of cold wet windy fishing days.
Welcome from Monroe
Welcome from Farmerville!
There are more and more folks from around here posting. Glad to hear from ya a d look forward to meeting you. Welcome from the other side of Stowe creek.
I know what you mean, there were only two lights on last night. I've done a ton of bass fishing on D'arbonne at night, but only tried the perch a few times. Haven't had much luck, but it's fun anyways. A buddy of mine always talked about catching them at the Highway 2 bridge at night. I always wondered if a fella could catch them around the dock lights when they are up shallower.Quote:

Welcome to the board and thanks for the report.
Welcome from Corney Creek channel. Do you still do a lot of bass fishing?
Welcome aboard. Only ever night fished once, but think I'm gonna try it more this summer. Bought the lights and everything did it once and never went back. Usually can't find someone to go and don't want to go by myself
Welcome from Ruston,
Fished around jakes ystdy, and caught a good mess. Guys spider r'n had a pretty steady bite until about noon.. I tournament bass fish here and there, but been hooked on perch jerking since the rut ended around here... Night jerking on the Bone is about the same as fishing during the day.. It's hit or miss at times around 33 bridge.. Just gotta have a wet hook when they're feeding..
Good luck out there
Welcome to both of you !!!!! Glad to have lots of us sharing what is happening on the Bone ... Lake Lafourche ? Brothers Son-n-Law has a camp on it.. He just talked to him Today.. Something happened to the Crappie Population a few years back , but getting better. Yesterday he saw A neighbor across from his camp Catch about 20 off his dock... Better yet, the launch Ramp has been replaced with a new ramp that can launch bigger Boats.... See, If Yea hadnt joined you would still be wondering
I only live a couple of miles from you on 33
Welcome to the forum New2crappie2014, glad you're here with us. We like lots of pictures!
FOL, next year some of you fella's up in that area need to come to the Toledo Bend gathering. I realize it's not as convenient when it's not in your neighborhood, but us folks south make the trip. Chickens are allowed :)Quote:

That's the place. Cat Island is the store by the lake. I stayed up around it the time I went last year. Thinking seriously about trying it tomorrow afternoon. When I went, I started catching them about 7' then as the day progressed they moved up right on the bank. I guess I should just try out in the middle where it's deeper for now.Quote:
