Thread: paw paw gene

I am going out to the duck camp this weekend.* With the warm weather i figured I could catch some sac a lait.* We hunt off turtle bayou.* What tactics should I use and what types of bait this time of year.* Any information would be greatly appreciated.*

Turtle Bayou area is a large area when it comes to fishing. There are miles of canals. Some are good and some are better. I haven't fished there much as I have some closer places. If the gas prices stay down I'll probably do more fishing there this coming year. Tube jigs are real popular in this area. Blue and white are usually productive and as I found out this past year, the green pepper flakes are also good. Of course the pattern might have changed since it is now colder, but I usually find that in the winter a small bait in white is hard to beat. My favorite is a panfish assasin with gray or black back and white belly fished slowly from the bank towards the middle of the canals. If you'd rather use a float as many do, fish the jig about 2 1/2 feet below the float, again casting towards the bank and slowly working it back to the boat. Just ask some of the hunters, I sure some of them can point you towards some of the better canals. Some of the hunting camps are on gated canals and could be some of the better fishing will be right in sight of the camp. Either way, good luck and keep up posted.
Merry Christmas,

Thanks alot.  I really appreciate your help.  Merry christmas to all.

Should I get some shiners also.* know we used to use them at night and do good but I have never used them in the day.* Also any tips for bass baits this time of year.* I know the warm weather has them out and about.* I will post report tomorrow.

No action this weekend.* No sac a lait and no ducks.* Horrible weather and dirty water.*
