Welcome to the form. Did anyone tell you that the new guy had to take all of us fishin in there honey hole?
We look forward to joinin us and feelin us in on what up around your neck of the wood.
I havent been out yet this year but its time.My brother and I are going out Saturday looks like the weather will be right.I usually fish portia bay its not too bad but I havent caught any real slabs there.
I fish lake Charles a lot. Look for them in the cove at the end of the dam, on the bank inside the state park boat launch, in the cove by the baltz addition, and on the bank on the back side of the camping area. Hitting those spots should locate you some crappie. Good luck and be sure and post your results. I also fish on Poinsett. State Park cove and the first cove off the dam on the east side of the lake have been good to me.
I have a map of all the brush piles on Poinsett. If you would like a copy, please send me a PM with your email address and I will get it out.
Thanks for the info arkie Ive fished some of those spots.Ive always done well around the campground but havent caught any slabs over there.have you caught any good ones there?
thanks for the offer LRJoe.I sent you a PM forgot to include my e-mail ill send it now
I'd sure like to have that map if you'd part with it.Quote:

The Poinsett map is actual brushpiles and the Charles map is the outline of the stump fields.

I also have two gps files with these waypoints if anyone wants them. Just email me, the address is on my website. Only thing is they are from 2004 so can't guarantee the spots are still there.
Thanks Darryl.those should be a big help.
I grew up in P'gould also, and fished Lake Ashbaugh (before they ruined it), and Poinsette a few times. Portia bay is pretty good sometimes, but went alot to Lake Hogue. Crappie by every stump, and there are alot of stumps.Quote:

I live about 10 minutes from ashbaugh dont fish it much though.some guys were catching a few last week off the dock by the pump station they had about a dozen keepers each.they looked like 10 or 11 inch crappie.the lake looks like it back up to normal that the most water ive seen in it in years.a few years ago the yellow bass got so bad they said thats all you could catch.they had a fish kill and its just now about to recover.
A few years ago they drained it because of the yellow bass, After they drained it, it hasn't been anything like it once was. I hope they got the filters fixed on the big pump on the back side of the lake, if not they will have all the yellow bass back in there soon.Quote:
