My wife & I want to come down there next winter. We want to camp where it's good fishing. We plan to stay the winter. If anyone could head us in the right direction, we'd be grateful. We like to fish Crappie & Bluegills (Bream) Thanks, Crappie 1

I would follow the fish and not commit to one camp ground or body of water. I would follow this forum and fish all the lakes, bayous and swamps. That would be living the dream!
Larry, you just going to bypass us and go down there?:Rofl Can't say I blame you the past two winters being like they have here.
Hi Cray: I'm just looking for someplace a little warmer. You guys are the greatest and treated us the best. Ya'll will always be our friends.
I sure don't blame you for that at all. You find a nice place I may just have to load up and come visit. How is Sandy and the Grand Baby?
Larry.....I think I may go to Florida next winter and fish with Slab
One of our guys (CajunSlabStalker) has put together a list of places to launch, camp & eat around Henderson Lake.....that is where we are having a get together on March 28 next month......he did this for all the out-of-towners who are coming in.....here is the link......look in the "sticky's" for more Henderson info....
Broussard Brothers Inc. ABBEVILLE, LA hendersongathering
Nice map CSS.....
I agree it's best to follow the fish however Lake D'Arbonne is a good place to start. Winter fishing here is normally great. It has a good state park and a couple of other RV parks. It's also a short drive to some other good lakes such as Caney, Claiborne and Poverty Point to mention a few. It's also a short drive to West Monroe or Ruston where you can find almost anything you need.

For what it's worth and if ya planning on fishing, I would plan 3- month long stays at 3 different parks. I would recomend state parks they are very nice in Louisiana. Also they have a 30 day limit cause they do not want to become snow bird camps. Just one chubby guys opinion but I would do a month each at Chicot state park, fassie point state park and Toledo bend. They all have boat launches and good facilities and off season discounts and honor golden age pass ports.
Cypress Bend or San Miguel Parks on Toledo Bend are great for fishing. You can set up facing the lake at Cypress Bend. Very cheap. I think about $300 a month including electricity. Phone service will be sketchy and no wi fi. But you will be close to fishing. And golf if you desire.
Wow!! Thank you guys so much for all the great information. We surely appreciate it. Hope to meet up with some or all of you next winter. THANKS!!!
