Hello all,
I am gonna be moving to the Anacoco area in March, and am trying to get a jump start on some fishing partners. I am gonna be moving really close to Vernon Lake. I am in the Army and gonna be stationed at Polk. I have always been a big Catfisherman, but have always wanted to learn how to slam some crappie. I would love any advice or maybe a trade off of a catfishing trip on my boat and a crappie trip on yours. Looking forward to hearing from everyone and hope the fish are bitin!
Welcome to the forum from Northwest Louisiana! Someone from the Anacoco area should be along soon!
Welcome Johnny and thank you for your service. I know little about the area but you will not be far from Lake Vernon, Anacoco, and Toledo Bend. All of them have catfish and crappie. I heard a second hand report of someone catching some 3 pound crappie on a catfish line in Vernon recently. Sounds like your kind of place.

Welcome to the forum! Prowler, a member here, lives on Vernon and fishes Toledo Bend regular since it's so close. A very fine fella, his wife works at the base. Anacoco is roughly 15-20 minutes from Toledo Bend south state park. Haven't heard from him in a while. Last time I fished with him, he mentioned going through a job change. I plan on calling him up before long to see what's up. He plans on being at the Toledo Bend gathering again this year, so you're welcome to join us.
Welcome to the forum. I caught my largest sacaulait on Vernon. Anacoco Lake is a well kept secret I hear about from the locals and Mr Courtney who just passed away.
I appreciate all of the warm welcomes! I have done quite a bit of research on the areas and it seems that there are tons of fishing opportunities in and around the Polk area. I would love to come to the gathering ya'll are having, but I won't be there until mid-March. Hopefully I will be able to get a line wet shortly after. My boats been sitting for a year and a half...I'm praying a quick tune-up and a new battery is all that is needed. So since I have never lived in the south before, one big question I've had is, how many gators are there? Do they bother you in the boat? I am from Indiana...we don't have em up there! lol Need to know if I need to brush up on my wrestling! lol
You leave them alone they leave you alone. No many up in your area. Now down in my area we have a few. Don't believe all you see on TV.
I have heard that all that gator hunting stuff on TV is a little exaggerated, and all those guys are really very well off...
Welcome to the club and THANK YOU for your service! Like Saute86 said, you shouldn't have any problems with gators where you are at. We do have several down where I am from but the only problem that I have ever had with them is them seem to LOVE orange corks when I am brim fishing! I have had to leave more than one bream bed b/c they kept coming after my cork! Other than that, I have not had any problems with them while fishing........Duck hunting, well that is another story! I have stepped on more than one and had one actually come in the boat with me to get my ducks, God rest her soul!
