Time for a fishing report

Heading down to Louisiana today to try and catch a few of those big crappie. The plan is to pick Jeff up around 10 tonight. That would put us at Grizzly Jig first thing in the morning. A quick stop there and maybe Prairie Wings will break the trip up nicely.

I left the boat down there for the winter so Friday evening and Saturday morning will be for installing a new Lowrance Elite 7, moving my old Elite 5 to the bow and changing the rectifier on the motor. A quick check of the bearings and lights and a fresh charge of the batteries and we'll be ready to fish.

Planning a crawfish boil for Saturday afternoon and six days of fishing after that.

Stay tuned, hopefully we'll have some stories and pictures for you.

Great trip

Sounds like a plan.

Have fun Jerry....catch a bunch

Lucky Y'all. Try and go see some of the guys. Maybe make a day try to Larto if the weather and water is right.

Hope you guys catch a lot of nice ones. Have fun and be safe.

Crawfish boil was fantastic! I think Jeff ate 25 pounds by himself. The electronics are hooked up and ready to go. Rectifier installed, no more dead start battery.

Got rained out today. Took a ride to Acadamy Sporting Goods and bought a few jigs. They had a great deal on marine batteries, 27 group for 69.00. Wish I would have waited, just replaced all three of mine last fall. Checked out the dam on D'arbonne, the lake is slightly high and very muddy, the bayou below the dam is high and rolling. Upper D'arbonne is stained but not muddy and there were 4 boats out. That's where we're going in the morning.

Setting here watching basketball and waiting for a chuck roast to get done and dreaming about 2 pound slabs.

Got on D'arbonne today. 26 degrees when we launched with a stiff 15 mph north wind. Tried to hide from the wind and spider rig and had some success with Jeff landing two crappie and a yellow bass and me one yellow bass. Moved a few times and fished shiners under bobbers and I managed one nice fish, one throw back and Jeff caught a cat fish. By the time we left the lake at 4:00 we were cold and hungry. A big crock pot of bean soup took care of both of those problems. Big fish was 1lb 10oz. Poverty Point tomorrow.

We were the only ones on the lake for most of the day.Attachment 333075

I would say diehards but that’s just spring fishing up here [emoji38]
Where’s Wilbur? I see a goat beard but it ain’t on no trophy![emoji38]

Love the reports, keep em coming!

Today we made the 1:15 drive to fish Poverty Point in Delhi, La. Reports have not been good but we always fish it at least once and the weather was supposed to be warmer and less windy than yesterday. Warmer, yes, 48 instead of 38 but the wind was just as bad. The water was 48-51 and the Attachment 333223fish we market wouldn't bite. we each had a couple of taps but no crappie came out to play.

We each caught one hybrid striper (Jeff sent Michelle a text that we got two strippers), Jeffs was 19" and about 3 pounds and mine was 21 and plump with eggs, probably pushing 5 pounds. Thats it! Tough day for sure but it's better than shoveling snow.

Tomorrows trip will be to Caney Lake so stay tuned.Attachment 333221Attachment 333222

What was Michelle’s reaction to the two strippers?
Keep the reports coming
