I haven't fished it yet but plan to very soon. I have been by the lake several times in the last couple of weeks and saw only a couple of trucks and trailers at the dam launch. Couldn't see any boats at all. Maybe soon???????

A trip there is defenitely on the to-do list for this month. Just to be sure...this is the one north of Minden correct?

Bobby Nola has definitely found where the big fish prefer to hang out. He would be a good Fellow to know!!!!!

Attachment 184797I bought camp there in June/2014 and have fished every weekend. Catching lot of barfish and some bass in 35' of water on bottom. My niece caught this one last March in Smith Branch. Didn't weigh it but thinkat least 2#. These are what I keep looking for. Very few boats lately because of weather.

Referring to location, the Caney Lake where all the big crappie have been caught is located east of Jonesboro, La., or roughly 35 miles southwest of Monroe......not the one near Minden.

I wish....but I have heard of some decent fish coming out of there..Some monster bass just this past fall. I gotta pull myself off Bistineau long enough to go try.

Progator 135, please be sure your boat or trailer doesn't have any a Giant Salvania onit when you come, THNX.

Aw c'mon you mean no one likes Bistineau's beautiful green carpet? Ill be happy to share...:biggrin
Jus kiddin...I always check and clean any off when I get home...part of my post-fishin routine. As I hope everybody else does...Definitely don't want that mess to spread.

Fished the dam this morning for about 2 hours before cold rain got there. about 5 boats there. Caught a big cat, several bar fish and 1 nice 2# 4 oz crappie 40 ft deep. Was using an ice jig called puppet minnow.

that's a trophy winner.....got a picture.....

Attachment 185703Not a good pic. Still have dumbphone.

That's a nice Slab!!!
