    I am starting to feel the same way again Rugs. It has been a week since he first post about his trip down south. Also every post he has put on the MO board is copied and pasted on other boards as well. But I would like to see pictures of the 54 fish he caught on the Sunday of his trip. Smallest one was 13" and had a few 18" fish as well. Would be a heck of a trip for sure. Maybe that Sunday was April first. Not sure.

    I would like to see them fish too! but I ain't going to go looking for them.
    Also, just wondering, if a person is computer literate to run a website, I would think he or his IT guy would be able to post pics on a forum??? Just a thought.
    Andy, if you want help learning to post pics here, send me a PM and I would be glad to help you, I do want to see those fish!

    Down on the Bayou
    April 8, 2010 by evans77



    It is said that the Ouachita River, located in Northeastern Louisiana, provides one of the most scenic views in the Country. This past weekend, the CountryBoyOutdoors team had the privilege of crappie fishing on the Ouachita River. The CBO team planned this trip about a month ago with high expectations of catching some slab crappies.





    Weather forecasters predicted temperatures would be in the upper 70’s with water temperatures hovering in the lower 60’s. Growing up in that part of the country, I knew that warm air temperatures and 60 degree water temperatures would be the perfect setup for catching Ouachita River crappies.



    Our day started at 0530 hours with a cup of coffee and a homemade Cajun egg and sausage sandwich found only in the South. We launched the boat around 0630 hours and headed up river. The temperature was in the lower 70’s and the wind was calm. It was a perfect beginning to what was hopefully going to be an exciting day of fishing.

    We motored into one of the many lakes that branched off of the river and headed towards the northern tip of the lake. Did you know the northern end of a lake warms up quicker than the southern end? I powered the depthfinder to the *ON* position and to my delight immediately located 62 degree water. Crappies begin to spawn when water temperatures reach 55 degrees and usually peak out around 65 degrees. I knew that if I was going to try and locate spawning crappies, this would be an ideal place to start. The water was stained, meaning I could see about one foot down and the sky was clear. My preferred choice of jigs for clear sky fishing and stained water are ones that are bright in color.



    I tied on a blue and white hair jig and began looking for cypress knees located in three to four feet of water. Within fifteen minutes of locating cypress knees and wetting my jig, I landed a 1.67 lb crappie approximately 16 inches long. We fished nine hours that day loading our ice chest with huge southern slab crappies. Our total fish count for the day was 44 crappies for a total weight of approximately 55 pounds. My fishing partner for the day was raised in the Midwest and was amazed at the size of southern crappies. He cannot wait to go back next year. If you ever get an opportunity to fish the Ouachita River in Louisiana, be prepared to catch awesome slab crappies.



    Until Next Time…Be Safe..and Happy Fishing.

    Well thanks for the replies and opinions, some good, but some bad. Hey thats what i love about this forum, honest critics. I am a much better crappie fisherman than "IT Guy", but I am learning. Heading up to Mark Twain next week, will let you guys know how the fishing is.

    I grew up in monroe, Louisiana, so I know that water pretty well. I have only been living in Missouri for about six years, so still getting use to the crappie fishing here.
