Lake Verret

The old shiner master put it on me today. It's been the first time I've been back to the Lake in years. Linda and I tried a bunch of spots but none produced on plastics. Met the Shiner Master and he already had seven plus some cats. Later we met up again at the launch and he had added to his box. Congrats Bruce, well done. I didn't have enough shiners in my tank to mess with them but I will be filling it up again soon. It's so convenient to just scoop out what you want. We ended up with 1 bass, 1 bluegill, and one goggle eye. At least that's supper.

A good day on the water and the Skunk was out of the Boat. The Catfish are turned on in deeper Water.

Nightcrawlers Rule.

Good report Paw Paw :ThumbsUp, I kinda like the shiners too gut I have started fishing the jigs more.

I've got to make a trip over to the shiner lady before my next trip and restock my tank and also bring some worms. Lake Verret is known for its catfish.

Great to see you and Miss Linda again.....sorry about the volume on my phone being turned down...posting a report & pics tomorrow....

Nice pictures Gene and Bruce!

Man that looks like a neat place!

These posts and photos are great! Makes me want to make the 300 mile trip to fish there.
Where do y'all launch?

This is a really good post...Thanks PPG and Bruce....and Ms Linda....

George if you use Google earth or maps and find lake verret near Pierre Part La. you can then find the launches. There are a couple near the town of Pierre Part on the north end and one on the south end called Attakapas Landing on the South end. There are a few others but those are the main ones. That whole area from Pierre Part to Morgan City/Amelia is great for fishing. The hurricanes have played havoc with the area but it seems to be coming back strong. At one time Lake Verret was the premier sacalait lake in South La.

​Found 'em! Thanks!

Glad to hear y'all had a good trip.

Very good post Gene, thanks. I fished West Lake Verret several times back in the day when Shell had all those drilling rigs working the region on barges while I was working in the area, this was probably 25 years ago. Serious crappie were caught back then, don't know now. Enjoyed everyone's pictures, thanks again.
