Rice Field Strike Out

Got too the gravel launch at the 22 bridge in Madisonville about 10am.

:biggrinGotta let those sky buster have there fun and get out of the way.

Ran to the bridges and things don't look good. :( I got the place to myself. If the bite is on I've always have had company.

Well gotta give it a try I'm here. Started swimming the 3tail and 3rd cast I get a good bump.Threw back and a 12" green trout nailed the tail. Worked the area and caught 6. All release to grow up and caught another day. Got the jig pole out and worked the bridge pilings and punched some grass and a few more trout. No sacs to be found.

There is still a lot of lilies blocking some canal's. Need some more freezes and some rain to flush it all out.

Still got a half day of day light left. So back too da river. Bite was slow, never caught more than two in one spot.

Very nice! Especially for a backup plan! But curious about what Madisonville has to do with a rice field? :dono

The rice field canal is located off the tchefuncte river? And that was a good article. What was that website?? Another nice catch BTW.

Found the boat ramp. Planning to go there soon. Will call u before i go. On a sunday most likely. Thanks.

Pretty good catch for a strike out and No dishpan hands there.

That's weird. I figured they'd be stacked up in the canal by now flashing black n gold.
But if course you still saved the day w/ a great catch.

Heard same and have seen a few boxes. Sorry I didn't relay the message. None were caught by me. I'm shore bound. Still haven't found a motor for my weld craft and truck transport for my paddle flat is even down. Feel like a bird w/o wings.
If it helps ya any I know the launch, the bayou (waste house) I don't. Too much of a paddle for me. But you'll definitely need a gps.
