Bass Fishing in Henderson Lake in South Central Louisiana
Spillway crybabies

Nothing will please self-appointed bass protectors. They will always have disdain for anyone that likes to fish & eat their catches. Scientific studies be damned, these self-appointed bass protectors know what's best.

Bass Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain / Northshore in Southeast Louisiana
Can someone please give me some insight into the Pearl River water levels? I need to know the correct water level @ Pearl River, LA to be able to fish the East Pearl @ Hwy 90 bridge. Or, is there another river level guage that I am unaware of?

I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance, Bob

Do they feel as though danger awaits? The real.... Read More

Trout Slam was on this past Saturday. The beach was a little soupy & the water wasn't that clear, but 5 of us caught 125 trout by 1:00PM.

Is the water level good in the Pearl River? If so; is anybody catching any bass?

I've always shared good or bad when I've traveled from Baton Rouge to fish the Pearl. I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks in advance,

Can someone please post the web-site that allows me to monitor the Pearl River stages that are best for fishing this area?

Also, please list the stages & what they mean for the fishing.

Thanks in advance, Bob Battistella

Proceeded north of I-10 & caught some nice bass...then went south & fished the cane or.... Read More

What's the opinion of everyone on fishing Saturday with the weather that's coming in? I hate to waste a trip, but have caught fish there when it was cold & windy?

Did anyone catch any fish @ the mine today. Because of Mardi Gras, the mine wasn't all that crowded. We didn't do well @ all. Nobody I watched was catching any fish. If you caught fish & want to share trades secrets...I'll listen to any good advice.
