Ouachita River hand model session

Left out early headed to the bonne idee this morning. When I got to the ramp I noticed the water was up several inches since last week. Decided I didn't like how it looked and opted to go try the river instead.

River is up about 5ft over pool but I want to try some fish in the bushes.

Head up river to my first stop and fish around for a minute before I find them on the edge of the bushes.

Today wasn't a reaction bite or fast bite, you had to toss it out and let it marinate for a minute without moving it any before they would hammer it.

I caught 10 in that first hr and then they just quit. I tried for a while longer and decided to move to next spot.

Bite was slow but I found some fish way down in some submerged tops, 7ft deep in 9fow on gold/chartreuse and black/orangeAttachment 384464Attachment 384465Attachment 384466Attachment 384467Attachment 384468Attachment 384469Attachment 384470

Reel purdy fish.

With the water cooling off some the fish are going to become more active... the color in the water helps with the sun in their eyes --- good catch

I can’t wait to get there Monday. Going to be a fun week

Good catch for the river, Up stream here at Crossett the current is strong, our backwater lakes are muddy !
I fished Cut Off Monday and caught one fish, I was the only boat there.

ACC to me is awesome. Light, sensitive, very strong.

Fairly lite and plenty backbone for what it weighs. I like it

Ive never fished Cuttoff if you're talking about Cuttoff creek. There's plenty current here too. But i like that cause it pushes the fish into the sloughs
