On DA Bayou 12/20/2023

Fished today on Bayou Lacombe. Launched at 1:30 and back on the trailer by 3. Ended up with 7 Sacalait and a couple of large mouth bass. All fish caught on Itty Bitty Bobby G 1/64 jig. Interesting thing was Monday on the same bayou all fish were caught in side canals which were 4 degrees warmer than the main bayou. Today all fish caught on the main bayou which was 3 degrees warmer than the side canals. Lesson learned fish the warmer water to catch fish.

My grandson Austin is out of commission for a while. He broke his collar bone playing in a school soccer game and is scheduled for surgery Friday morning because it is broken into 2 pieces and requires a metal plate installation. Keep him in your prayers as he is not looking forward to his first surgery Friday or his second in 3 months when they go back in to remove the plate. Thanks.

Bon Temps!!

That sounds like a great time! But sucks for your grandson and will be praying for speedy recovery!!

Good job catching. Hate to hear of grandsons accident. Hopefully he heals up fully and quickly. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you catch on fast. We will be keeping thoughts for your grandson my friend. I started to see if you wanted to go yesterday but thought better with the 2 very cold nights we had. Glad I didn't call with 52 degree water the fish leave for the main river and deep water.

We will Keep your Grandson in our prayers. Congrats on figurin' the pattern out and catchin' some nice fat lookin' slabs.

Nice mess

I have never seen a collarbone broken in two places. My brother broke his twice a year apart when we were teenagers. Prayers out to grandson for a speedy recovery.

Prayers for grandson. I got three grandsons, they all three break bones worse than “Evil Kaevil” the old motorcycle stunt man.

As for the warm water, I also went yesterday they were in warmer water. They also bit smaller baits. Lots of shorts and a hand full of 10’s to 12’s. Fish would literally approach the bait and follow it but back off. Tried several other tactics even adding scent but with about same reaction. One thing I did notice on the few 12’s I brought home, belly’s were full of minnows and smaller shad.

Continued Prayers for a quick, complete healing...

He just got out of 1 1/2 hr surgery. 7 screws and a plate installed. Doc said he should be fine but can’t pick up anything heavier than a cell phone for 8 weeks.
Thanks for prayers and well wishes.

Bon Temps !

Good news. Hopefully he heals fully and completely and is back fishing with you soon. Prayers sent

Praying for your grandson! Thanks for sharing your outing with us

Ouch. I broke both mine. One in 7th grade, and one in 8th grade. It is painful, really is. A lot of muscles are connected to those collar bones. Hard to even get up out of bed. I remember clearly! Heal well, great report though.

Prayers for healing.

Prayers for your grandson to have a great recovery.
nice fishing

Austin update. He under went a 1 1/2 hour surgery today during which they installed a plate and secured it to the bones with 7 screws. He is home tonight on meds and resting. Will be a long recovery period but the Doctor thinks he should be fine in 6 months. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughtful comments.

Merry Christmas !!

Bon Temps!!
