Whiskey Bay, too

Saw 6 Inch Minimum's post and thought I'd chime in. Saw that he's catching the blacks shallow but I've only had a couple decent days catching them shallow. Go figure. I've been catching mostly whites lately on the deeper pilings with hair jigs and getting most of my bites away from the pilings. Here's one that was about 15".

Water is still a couple feet too high for jigging the pilings but shouldn't be much longer if this rain would only stop.

I usually catch 90% blacks but it's been almost all whites lately. I've heard the blacks stay shallow longer so that may be it.

That is a nice one.

That’s nice!

That's a good fish you have there.

Thanks guys. I've been at this now for a solid 2 years. It's been fun and I'm learning a bunch. I'm still trying to get that 16" + fish, though. I really don't think there are many of them in S. Louisiana. I'm thinking I'll need to go do a tour of the N. MS lakes.

I think you're right and i'm going to do the same early next year. Probably try to line up a trip with a guide on Grenada.

There are some but NOT a lot! I got serious about crappie fishing in 2005 and I didn't catch my first 2 pounder (16" +) fish until 2016 or 2018. I have now caught 7 that were over 2 pounds. All of mine have come from Bundicks. Just keep swinging, you will get there!

Get enough Louisiana boys together and we can all make a trip up there! I know Mo Slab has been wanting to go for years and I would be interested too!

Whiskey Bay has never done well for me, suppose a bad attitude about the place does not help. Good to hear someone is picking up fish there. I fished Henderson for last couple of weeks and I'm catching enough for a couple meals each trip. Fish have showed up in flats and western portion Henderson. Really big bull bream and a few chinquapin end up in the box, too. Oh yeah, Grenada and Arkabutla are on my wish list, too. Have a good summer...

Don't give up on Whiskey Bay! The fish there move around a lot depending on water conditions. The shade sure is nice, too.

Nice feesh. Your right da shade is nice but da noise not so much.

I don't even notice it anymore, except when I'm trying to talk to fishing partners!
