Report:12 Fish Inspired by Bayoucrappie

Went to Lake Arthur today for 12 and will have to say that Bayoucrappie gets some of the credit by hyping up the cork fishing in a phone conversation we had. I wanted to fish my normal favorite tight line, but only managed 3 and couldn't stop thinking try under a cork. Caught the other 9 3' under the cork with Poppa Chop and OCR trailers.

Had 8 caught and was heading in and gave them to a guy with only 2. He was happy and I told him I would try a few minutes more doing catch and release.

The next fish was 15" and just couldn't throw him back so there were 4 fish for a friend at the boat landing. Really a fun day after the fog cleared and the wind laid down.

Hey Bayoucrappie if you ever get a pic of that jig rescue device I would like to see it.

That's a great day of fishing! U did right thing and making that adjustment!

Way to go John.....15" is a hog.....did you use a fixed or slip cork......

Fixed. The little red and white with a red peg. Probably should have trimmed it as it wouldn't hardly get off of flat with that light jig.

Great report John. How bout some pix.

Very good report. Congratulations on figuring out what they wanted and in having fun catching them. Plus the fun of giving them away. I would say, all in all a great day on the water.

Use a size bb weight. Put it about 3-4" above the jig. It gives the jig more action and makes the cork stand straight up that's how I fish mine. I see you liking them trailer. Have you seen some of the new colors

I carry some split shot just for that, but never seem to remember. Got about 5 different colors of the trailer. Just using one pack at a time starting with the Chartreuse. I don't have any science to prove it yet, but I feel like they really help.

Are those scented?

Yes they are. And they come in about 8-9 different colors. And can make any color you want

They are soaking in the scent in the bag so if they dry out you can put them back in for more scent.

Thanks for the post and picture. Where can I get some of those trailers in the Sulphur/Lake Charles area?

The only place that I know about is with the guy that makes them in Lafayette at OCR. He might mail you some. ranger-go-getter would know more about that.

Depends when you want them. I work for Uhaul and go up to lakecharles about 3-4 times a year. Or I might be able to find someone to bring them. If nothing else pm me your address and what colors. You would like. I will
Mail them to you personally. Or you can text me and I can send you a pic of the colors he has made. 337-254-1155
