  • Crappie anglers, Lloyd and Diane Loftin, and big crappie catch with mid-lake Toledo guide Noe Garcia
CRAPPIE/YELLOW BASS: White perch guide, Noe Garcia, is still catching crappie(white perch/sac-a-lait) in depths of 22 to 25'. He reports he is doing much better on his brush piles located in the middle of the lake and states those in main lake coves are no producing currently. Maybe the water temp and oxygen levels are better there. He is using a tight line, live shiners and is fishing over.... Read More

Freshwater Fishing in Saline-Larto in Central Louisiana
Help me out. I'm hearing that Lake Larto is EXTREMELY low right now. I have a trip planned the first week of October and hate to waste my time if there is no water.

The lady that runs Uncle Bud's says the lake is only an inch or two low. Can someone that doesn't stand to make money off of me tell me what the lake level is???

Thanks

Hello, Anglers. Hopefully we have just experienced the hottest weather this year and just maybe we are looking at more modest temperatures. While hot weather is still in the forecast, we at least should see daytime temperatures back in the low to mid 90s this week and away from the 100 degree readings we have had the.... Read More

  • Happy crappy anglers after a trip with Crappie guide Noe Garcia.

LAKE CONDITIONS: The lake level is 167.8 and minimal generating is scheduled with one unit running most weekdays from 3-5 p.m. to maintain downstream flow. The surface temps remain high and are running from 86 at sunrise to as high as 93 mid-afternoon. Water conditions are excellent throughout the fishery but boaters are reminded to use caution due to low water levels.

Ok, I will ask for help. We have done quite a bit of 'FISHING' and very little 'CATCHING'. Sunday afternoon I found some 6 to 8 inch bass all in one spot and nothing (bass, bream, white perch)anywhere else. Is it me, or is it slow for others. I am fishing out of Butte LaRose and throwing most of what is in the box.

Don't want to know your favorite holes, just some tips if it is just me.

I went through 4 boxs of worms in about 2 hours. I caught these fish off the bank, fishing on the bottom with a worm, even the bass was hitting! Crazy because I never seen bass hit on the bottom or bream.

  • Grandson Haddon with a Toledo schoolie which is a great way to start out kids fishing.
CRAPPIE/YELLOWBASS: Patterns have changed very little this week on crappie with brush piles in 20 to 30 feet and live shiners the most consistent approach and 20 to 30 crappie considered a good trip. Yellow bass are still hitting on jigging spoons and tailspinners in the back portions of major creeks. The yellows do move around and follow the baitfish(shad) so you may need to do the same.
