Thinking about a night trip to False river....Anybody heard any news on sacalait there?
I sure don't but my wife did ask me today why can't we fish at night So I'm looking For Pointers do you ever use a submersible with any luck
I never have used one ....saw 2 last night next to a dock, baitfish all around it
Fished from 9-1....had 2 fish break my line, prolly goo.....not many lighted docks.....I'm thinking the crappie are non existant in this once thriving fishery.....It has gone the way of the pontoon boat/jet ski......goodbye old friend
I quit fishing there long ago....I remember we used to catch 2# sacs there....mostly a bass lake now....Quote:

Maybe during the spawn, I won't be backQuote:

Thanks for the update MS.
Shame what has happened to that lake. Used to fish it alot before we moved in 85. It was a great fishery then. Shortly after moving to Florida there was an article written by Florida Wildlife commission about that lake and having sent some Florida strain Largemouths to stock with and their expectations. Wish I could find it because they had some pretty stout numbers and expectations, just short of guaranteeing a new world record largemouth from it with all the crawfish to eat. Really a shame.
Larry LeJeune caught the state record there in '89....12#er... It lasted til the Caney lake craze of the mid 90sQuote:

My son in law has fished False River a lot over the years. Many cookie jars and larger tourneys. He caught a 8lb, 7lb and 6 lb bass off the same post on the same pier in different tourneys.
I was in Academy recently and was telling a guy about CDC.....he was very excited about it....he also told me he was the one who caught that trophy bass out of city park lake.....Quote:

Haven't a clue what my boat's top speed is now.
Did catch some nice bream on the south end with crickets though in the grass. Toted the poles and crickets on board, the ski locker in the floor held the rods nicely. Haven' thought about that in years until I saw the post False River.
I fished False River a lot in early 70's. Bought me a new 16' Ouachita Bass boat at Bonfanti's Marine in Baton Rouge. Paid $3800.00 for it with 65 Evinrude on it. Was at LSU going to school and did a lot of bass fishing around cypress trees on south end and caught good fish. Launched at Bonadventures. I have heard it has really declined. Was a real pretty lake.
I fished there a few weeks ago and couldn't even catch a decent sunburn. Talked to wildlife and fisheries people who were releasing striped bass. They recommended fishing for catfish. Not good when the targeted species is catfish since they are the most productive in a dead system.
