Lake Verett Report....5/16.....*

Fished 7 to noon on the south end.....launched at Attakapas.....I got a report that sacs were biting really good but I could not find many...ran out of shiners feeding the gar, goo and catfish....the water looked beautiful.....caught on shiners and blue & white triple tail.....I had promised the donut lady (south Korea) and my Vietnamese friend that I would save the goo and catfish for them....he chose the goo over the cats....wound up with 8 sacs, 4 goo, 4 cats and one bass....a fun day....sorry Randy, no sink shot....

​Nice pics. What a pretty place to fish!

Nice catch Mr. Bruce. Congratulations! Mr. Randy may not have gotten his "sink shot," but all of us were blessed with a "mug shot." LOL. JK, Mr Bruce.

A good day and not to much sun as a bonus.

looks like a great day........

Good catch Mr. Bruce!! Man i been wanting to go for the last two weeks, the days don't have plans it's raining (the garden needs it) are the lake have white caps on it. Maybe next week:)

Very nice trees to fish! Have never been there.

Sounds like a fun day

Looks great!! WIsh I knew u were going. I'd have tagged along. Looks like the water has really dropped since last week.

yes...it ain't like sacalait or bass but it is also not bad...clean em up good and cook em like other fish...most people cook it in a coubillon(spelled wrong pr coobeeon with a thick cajun accent) or tomato/creole gravy...I fried it cuz they were easier to catch than sacalait and it
was good....but then again frying anything is good....i watched a you tube vid on cleaning a buffalo and cleaned the goo the same way......we did some gar on the same day.. it was not as good...now i know why they season it up with onions and such and grind it up and make patties/balls out of it.....you tube the gar cleaning also.
