A friend and I went today to the basin out of Adams Landing in the Pierre Part/Belle River area (North of Morgan City 6-7 mi). We found plenty of moving water and must have caught 40-50 bass (all undersized and released). 40 medium white perch that we kept and at least 100 keeper fish mixture of big goggle-eye/red ear (easist to spell) and bream. Other than the bass, we must have caught another 300 fish that we released. Man what a fishery it is as of now. If we dont get a hurricane and the spring thaw brings more hi water to the basin next spring it will get even better. I saw many many fingerling bass on patrol. Good water quality and plenty of cover (grass/lillies). The W&F sprayed some of the lillies which is like the police jury spraying for mosquitos down the street in the sola swamplands. A waste of money and a source of dead vegatation into the canals. When spring high water is repeatable, this is one of the top fisheries anywhere. I used a chartruse/blk hair jig today and it was a hit. The goggle-eye just hammered it as it seemed to be as good as any plastic today. The triple tail jigs were very good as well. I like the hair jigs for the durability. I must have seen 200 goggle-eye and white perch mixed caught on one corner that covered about 30 yards of bank. A real panfisherman's dream. JN

Man, slipcork.
Sounded like a great day on the basin. Glad everything looks good for this time of year. Good post. Pictures?????
