Went anyway!

After asking about Lake Martin earlier in the week and getting no good responses; I decided to go anyway. I thought hard against it, but I’m on call and my boy had a birthday party to attend at 11, so it was the obvious choice being I live 5 minutes away. Launched at daylight and fished for 3 hours. Kept 11 nice ones. Broke off on another good one at the boat and lost another one lifting it in. Threw several dinks back as well. All in all, it was a solid short solo trip. By the way, grass and boats everywhere and wind was terrible!

They sure are! We catch more whites than blacks in Saline/Larto but I sure do love when those blacks turn dark like that.

I've been wanting to fish there. It's only about 45 minutes from me. What do you suggest about the lake?

The grass has gotten really bad and the pressure it gets is unreal for the size of the lake. I guess the reason for the pressure is that it is so close to a big city like Lafayette. It does hold some fish and can be good at times, but I’ve been skunked there too. It’s a very shallow lake, so water temp is already in the 70’s. I honestly only fish it when I can’t make it to my camp on saline/Larto or when the basin is rising like it has been. It’s probably better for bass than anything. Not sure what info your looking for, but I can tell you that I caught my fish on jigs on the trees very tight to cover. Fishing 18” deep in 2-4fow.
