Anybody know how the fishing is around grassy lake south of verret? For whatever reason, is like to try it out. I haven't came across anyone that fishes it much. Just looks like a potential good spot.

People pretty much go south of it to Lake Palourde. The canals around it has nice Sacs and bream in it.
I used to fish it all the time.....launch at Attakapas and fish south Verrett, 4 Mile Bayou, Grassy lake, bayou Sherman, Bayou Cheramie and Union canals...and Belle River....Grassy lake is very similar to Verrett....I love it during the colder months for sacs and bass...when it gets hot, the gar take over....also, sometimes it gets to shallow to fish around the cypress knees....Bayou Magazille has water deep enough to hold some sacs....4 Mile is deep also...deep water is the key to finding fish in that area...Belle River may be good all year....don't forget to check out Bayou Felix....caught lots of bass and sacs there....
It used to be my favorite place but the hurricanes from Katrina to Gus messed it up so I started fishing Henderson plus it's much closer to the house....
Supposed to have high high winds Saturday. 15-25mph. If anyone goes be safe.
only 6 mph tomorrow....look out...Quote:

Have not been haring reports lately but a few weeks ago they were catching some nice bass also heard the catfish was starting to turn on.
Thank y'all for the advice, it's awesome to be apart of a group that wants others to succeed!
I would like to try that area as well when the henderson area isn't that great. Where is grand bayou at?
Welcome to the forum BasinSacalait1.....I just googled Grand Bayou a few days ago....very nice campground/recreation park...about one hour south of Shreveport....here is a link...Quote:

you think that 8" fall at Henderson will turn the fish on...
Thanks for the info, I was thinking it was in the basin somewhere. I am not sure about the falling water. I am pretty new to sac fishing and don't know much about it but from what I have been told falling water is good. I had a spot I was catching just south of henderson and when I came back in from offshore the water had come up about 3 ft and I only caught 1 all morning. Typical day for me lol
The water actually came up about 4 feet....my trips dropped to zero catch.....falling now with an 8" drop....I'm thinking another 1 1/2 feet & it may pick up.....we will see....Quote:
