The park in Vermilion Parish.

I don't know if there is any truth to this but a friend of mine (lives on Caney) said a couple years ago the weather was all screwed up during the spawn and lots of fish adsorbed their eggs instead of laying them. For a year he would catch Crappie that were yellow tinted and you couldn't eat them because of the taste and smell.

I didn't notice if there was any difference in the meat. Could have been though.

Not in quite a while.

Been a few weeks since I went.Last time fished around 4 hrs and not a bite.Went south towards Lake Arthur and north towards pontoon bridge in Estherwood.Had heard a few fish were being caught so made trip.Guess I will wait awhile before going till I get "confirmed"reports not just "hearsay".LOL.Good to hear from you and hope to see you and the guys soon on the water "suckingemup".
