I’ll be going to the marsh this month at Bayou Segnette near New Orleans to catch pre-spawn bass there in January. The bass are starting to move out of the lakes toward the dead-end canals, where they intend to spawn.[…]
I like fishing in December with football games on TV, waterfowl and deer seasons taking place and most of Louisiana’s lakes clear of fishermen.[…]
This month, most Louisiana outdoorsmen are deer and duck hunting, so the amount of fishing pressure on all the waterways has been reduced drastically.[…]
I spend a lot of time on the road tournament fishing, so when I’m home, I fish areas close to home like Delacroix and Venice.[…]
At almost every seminar and tournament, I’m often asked how I’ll fish a new lake. Today, advanced technology allows anglers to quickly and easily obtain information on lakes all over the country.[…]
I love to fish the Delacroix area, especially Lake Lery, at any time of the year, but especially during July. If you fish around Delacroix this month, you’ll catch 20 or 30 bass and the same number of speckled trout and redfish.[…]
Chicot Lake near Ville Platte has tons of cypress trees, a beautiful state park with spacious cabins, campsites with water and electrical hookups, rental boats and hiking/backpacking trails.[…]
This month we’ll be fishing D’Arbonne Lake, located near Monroe, where the bass will be in the post-spawn period.[…]
I finished in 20th place on the Red River in the 2009 Bassmaster Classic. I completely misread what the bass were doing. Since I assumed the male bass were preparing the nests, and the females hadn’t come in to spawn yet, my game plan was to fish the deeper water where I thought the bigger female bass were holding and not fish the shallow water.[…]
This month, I’ll be fishing the Delacroix area, near the east side of New Orleans, and trying to stay warm. The Caernarvon Diversion there lets Mississippi River water run out through the marsh, which has helped rebuild the marsh and caused a big boom to the bass fishing.[…]
This month, I’ll be fishing Cross Lake near Shreveport for two very good reasons.[…]
At this time of year, the Atchafalaya River is fairly low, and the fishing in the Basin is better when the water’s low and cool.[…]
Caney Lake in Chatham, home to the state record for largemouth, is Louisiana’s premiere big-bass lake, and has produced the three-largest bass ever caught in the Bayou State.[…]
This month, my choice of lakes for catching numbers of nice-sized bass will be False River in Pointe Coupee Parish near New Roads.[…]
In October, I like to fish the Ouachita River with its plentiful cover. When the weather starts cooling down, the spotted and largemouth bass and the shad will head for the shoreline and move into the many laydowns and sandbars.[…]
My pick for September as the best place to catch bass is Venice. I like bass fishing out of Venice then because of the very hot weather, and this area has plenty of moving water.[…]
