Don't know what the problem is for you guys but my boat is still in the shop until tomorrow afternoon. Then look out fish, y'all better hide. I've heard a few rumors about catches in the area but haven't seen the proof. Some of them are credible and some not so. Linda and I are looking forward to our first boat ride some day this coming week if the weather gives us a break. How about you fellas, y'all all gave up fishing for summer.

I too have been amazed how quiet it's been here. Chalked it up to the great flood of 2016 and it's after effects. Hope to get in two days this week somewhere. Conditions on this end are getting better slowly.
Guys,
I agree...its been really quiet! I'm sure the flood has something to do with it..., but for me, I just haven't been going! Work, grandkids & life hasn't allowed lately...but I'm hoping soon! Maybe even this evening!
I have gotten some very credible reports of good bites in pigeon...really good catches. Surprised j.r. hadn't gotten on them out there!
Take care all

When we get into 80 degree days and 60 degree nights, I will worry them to death until freezes run me off. Looking like
about 10 more days.
The Drawdown on D'Arbonne was started, Saturday going to the Nursing home to visit with Mom about one foot of water had been let out already and lots of trailers at Jakes. did not see boats pulling skiers or boats in the Channel... as the level gets lower the ramps will get slick with the Green stuff
Hey PPG....glad you are close to getting your boat back.....I had a bug the last 2 weeks so didn't get to go....plus, we have been taking care of the 3 year old great granddaughter plenty.....been hearing lots of good reports from the Basin on bass and crappie....I went to Henderson this morning.....plenty of gar around....brought home 4 sacs and one bass all on shiners....quit at 10....you have to find good water.....lots of black water around....look for the birds....the water rose about 7 feet from the flood.....falling about 1" per day now....expecting to have some good days ahead as the water keeps dropping.....I will be checking on it and will let you know when it gets right like when we got those 65.....
Hey Paw Paw. Been slow over here in the heart of Dixie for the last few weeks for me :fingerdance but I think I'll find some This week. Will report over on the Al. side.
PPG, I'm hearing a few good reports from Bayou Black and the Basin. Overall its falling slowly with the water being higher than normal for this time of year. I plan to check out the Basin out of Pierre Part this week, I'll post.....SLIP
Thanks Slip, I hope to explore the Orange Grove area soon. The water is high here also. We need a front or two to get it moving down.

I was thinking the same PPG. Not many fishermen reporting lately. I am dying to hit the lake myself. I have been busy trying to get caught up around the house and in the hunting club before the hunting season starts. Looking forward to cooler weather for a little woods and waters time.
Salvinia has taken over Black Lake and Bisteneau.
Heard good reports from Little Bayou Long & 21" canal.....Quote:

He said they wouldn't hardly hit a tube under a cork and the white curley tail was the ticket on these trips. Looks like its a good year in the cycle.
Stick, I sent you a pm....SLIP
Just what I was thinking for tomorrow......SLIP
SLIP, I pm ed you info and my phone number.
Thanks fot the tip Young. I'm suppose to get the boat out of the shop today. There was a delay yesterday but today is suppose to be the day. I can see a trip to the Grove shortly.

I've had some truck issues, so couldn't pull my boat anywhere for a while...not that I've had a ton of time anyway. Wife always has plans for something. Mom's 80th birthday was this past Saturday and we had a party for her on Sunday, complete with an Elvis tribute artist...he did a great job and she had a blast, but it all took a lot of time to set up, so kept us busy. I did manage to go fishing off a pier at Caddo Lake on Labor Day, but only kept 8 bream and two small catfish. Nothing worth posting about. I'm looking forward to getting back after crappie though with the cooler weather. That is, if I can evade the 'honey do' list and get time away from the budget season work....it's that time of year again.

Not in your neck of the woods Paw-Paw, but I've been getting out some lately. Fished Larto Labor Day weekend and went back there today. Will post report and pics shortly.:fish
waiting on a good report PPG.......Quote:

Got it. I'll be in touch, thanks, SLIP

Fishing has been great last 2-3 months in our area I just haven't been posting. Too busy fishing I guess. Good catches in grove copasaw turtle bayou and here and there in between. I'll be back out tomorrow. You getting out soon?
SS, Linda got tired looking at the four walls inside and the rain outside so Friday we headed to Pineville to visit friends and of course the rain followed us up there. Then we went to Lecompte a little south of Alexandria to find our friends with a lake for a back yard on Saturday. We worked our way back home stopping at friends along the way and finally at the casino in Amelia where Linda came away with 100 dollars more than when she went in with. I of course lost 10. Stayed up late and got up late this morning to find the sun shinning and almost no rain in sight so maybe today is the day. We should have went to bed early and got up early then I wouldn't be at the keyboard but in the boat.
Thanks for the report. See ya.

Any time you leave Amelia belle Ahead. That's an accomplishment. I would visit more often if I could tie up my boat after fishing I'm real familiar with Lecompte pineville etc. although I was born and raised in paradise here in houma both of my parents are from that area ( glenmora and kisatchie) and I spent countless time up there growing up until now . Technically I'm a coonass-redneck just spent a weekend in kisatchie a month ago wading and fishing the creeks and will be back there and glenmora hunting couple weekends in October . Good to see you got back out fishing is superb. We caught 100 plus Tuesday as did some of my friends and bob did today.
SS, sounds like y'all been busy. No wonder you don't have time to post. I won't be able to make a morning trip until after next week. I'm substituting for a home school teacher while she recoups from having a baby. Weather has finally turned for the better.
