Gonna be making my first trip down there this weekend. Recommend any spots to pick up some good bass ?

Can meet ya somewhere and take ya where I have been doin pretty well if you wanna....You Have A Kayak ?

hey I recently asked you where did you launch in slidell and directions as i am looking for places to fish there. i know you sent me an email, i just never received it could you send again please mike_arbon@yahoo.com thanks

No dont have a yak . Thinking of getttin one . Just trying to put my wife on some good fish . We dont keep anything just enjoy trying new spots and being on the water

I used to catch them for fun at the Lake D'Arbonne spillway. I got kind of popular down there for a while because I gave the fish away. Use a wire leader, and put chicken liver on a 1 or 1/0 hook. Bury the hook up in the liver. Cast out to them where you see them and just let it drift, one of them will usually get it before it goes down 2 ft. Once he takes it, wait a while and let him swim with it. Sometimes they pick it up with the end of their snout and need to work it back some to their mouth. If that doesn't work, then you can try snagging them with a weighted treble, but bringing them in tail-first is a chore.

Thanks For The Heads Up On This.....I hooked 1 of about 6 I had on and figured there was a trick to it......
