THE Bonne Idee 4/2

I sure have enjoyed this fish-cation. I'm yet to really whack the fish but it's been a blast none the less.

Wind forecast for today was for gust up to 20mph. No sense in driving to Farmerville to fight that. Time for some Bonne idee action.

After McKenzlie's trip all the kids want to go. I tell em get in line. This may take a while. Today is Madison's turn.

We had to wait out a thunder storm this morning before we could put in. Fished from 7:30 to 12:30.

Water still muddy, but it always is in spring. Temp 68 to 70 but males still aren't stacked on the bank. We kept 13 crappie but only 5 of those were males. We caught more females on trees and brush than we did males. What's up with that???? They haven't spawned yet and even if they had I should still have at least 5 males to every female fishing wood on the bank like I was. Black and pink was the flavor of the day.

Madison is one of our three fosters that will eventually be Watt's once all the court stuff is done.

You'll have to google map Horseshoe lake rd, Mer rouge la. Thomas's which is a pay ramp will be on the north west side of the road where it crosses the Bonne idee, or on your right just before you cross the bridge if you're driving. There is a free ramp "lost landing". To find it come on across the bridge and take the first left and the ramp is at the end of the rd, that's where I started today

Used to fish horseshoe lake with dad when a teen, just can't remember where the ramps for bonee dee was. I know there's one out of oak ridge when you turn by that welding shop.

Dad used to have a camp on horseshoe when I was a teen. It was next to the sawmill on the inner loop of the lake

That was a stumpy lake, but daddy loved to bass fish there. Grape worm lol

Still a good mess of fish 20Watt. Congratulations! Water looks like chocolate milk.

Nice catch Jimmy Watt

You have the touch :notworthy love the pics!
