Palmetto Live Action

Hadn't done good there compared to the past couple of years, but today caught 16 sacs, a bass and 2 giant choupiques. The fish where all in one little zone in about 3.5 feet of water. Caught them 18" under a cork with a blue and white Poppa Chop tipped with one of those OCR trailers. No pictures because I started off letting them go and couldn't stop.

There where a bunch of those dark black males and they were all on the bank so I guess the spawn is on there. Probably my last trip until December.

The sun sure brought the people out to enjoy the park. I quit offering fish to the bank fishermen since most of the time they are fishing, but don't want fish. Go figure.

Nice catch. I think you are right about lacassine in another week or 2. I talked to Knippers on the phone and he has been catching in the teens and twenties.

Not that I know of. He spent most of deer season camped at Anacoca Lake at the dam. He deer hunted mornings and evenings and fished mid day. Then spent 2 months on Larto after that.

Got him confused with someone else that fishes over there that was reported to be ill.

Shallow Runner fished the Mermentau the other day and picked a few up. He said it was muddy, low, and flowing fast from the north wind. He said it too will be good in a week or 2.

These are made by OCR in Lafayette and I've had good luck with them so far.
