Took Mrs. 20watt this am to darbonne for some catching.
Tryin to launch today was crazy :crazy: it was as bad as launching at poverty point in its hay day.
They definitely need a larger ramp and more parking for safety reasons and also if they want to be taken serious about hosting big events. Having said all that we still caught a good mess if fish.
It took Mrs. 20 a while to warm up but she did end up catching several fish. We left them bitting at 10am with 33 fish...

That is Great - Jimmy. We fished from 9 - 12 from Forks Ferry, could not get to Hwy 33 bridge, to Hwy 2 bridge. We had to leave fishing partner got a call, we finished with 11. Today was the worst day I have seen for launching a boat on Hwy 33, we ended up going to Hwy 2 and I still had a quarter mile walk back to boat ramp. Jimmy did you put in at Jakes?
We launched on the old road across from jakes. At 6 am jakes parking lot was full and there was a line to the road waiting to put in. On the other side we had to wait in line at least 20 minutes to get in
Put in at Jakes at 5:30 there was a fruit jar bass tournament fished till 10 and caught 14
I put in at the State Park this afternoon (crowded but not crazy) and fished about 3 hrs. at the mouth of Corney. Caught a dozen really nice ones fishing about 14 ft. deep in the channel. No one particular jig did best.
Boy what a run there at Darbonne......good stuff. I'm hearing crazy reports down here in Gonzales. I'm going to Larto this coming week.....maybe when I leave I may have to go north back to Ruston for a visit...Hope my pad-na Mr. Scriber is getting in on some of this....SLIP
Fished till 10 had 29. Lots of people at the ramp but I drove right up and put in this morning. People and boats everywhere! Jim
Very nice, sounds like a pretty steady bite
Sounds like the Bone is a sure bet if you can just get your boat in the water.
I wonder how long those fish will stay in the channels? Just out of curiosity, what is the water temp? thanks in advance
Late this afternoon the water temp topped out at 54 where I was. But it was in the upper 40s when I started, so it's still got some warming to go before it stays in the 60ish range.
I ended up with 27. All the fish I kept for myself were good fish. I had one that was 1-15 and 1 that was 2-0. Several more from 1 LD to 1 3/4 lb. I kept several good whole fryers for a neighbor.
