These pics are from my brothers first ever cranking trip. He fished Cypress Bayou reservoir in Bossier. He finished with 8 slabs and missed a couple nice ones. I told him, "You're hooked now for sure".

Nice catch. What does he use the big rear deck for?
That is called a fantail, it used when you pull in your trawl and set the trawl boards on each side of the motor. It's a little out of place in Bossier City but pretty comon south of I 10. It also makes a good platform to fish off of.
He was displaced from South Louisiana by Katrina. That's a trawling deck for shrimping. It's a Hanko's hull. I believe they're made in Morgan City.

That explains why it's in North LA. I'm aware of it's traditional use. I've pulled a trawl for many hours in my Lafitte skiff.
Or it can double for a fish cleaning table. Lol

That deck serves as a good fish cleaning table. My brother has been training me for a while and yesterday was my first actual trip pulling four rods with Strike King baits on Cypress. I've been a long time board lurker and my brother beat to the punch posting pictures. Now I just have to go buy some more crank baits. I'm hooked!!

Yes, my brother and I spent many a day bottom trawling and pushing wing nets at night in our youth.

Now that my son is in college , maybe I can crappie fish a little more. Spent the past three years being a boat captain for my son and his partner. Enjoyed it immensely, but they only caught crappie by accident.
It’s funny. Every time I take someone out they hooked easier than the fish do. LOL. Glad your brother had a good time.

Wait until you're landing multiple doubles and triples all day. Once you start figuring it out, the freezer will fill up quick! Hope to see you on the lake soon. I'm thinking of cranking Cypress in the morning ahead of the wind and front. It's been a while since I fished and really slammed 'em. I'm due.
