    Welcome to the forum! I don't really fish that area but there are several that do so I'm sure they will help you out.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I hear lake Martin is a tough place to catch fish but some people do.
    I’ve never fished Henderson. It hear it’s a great fishery.....spending time on the water and learning is the best way in my opinion.
    Good luck

    Thanks for the welcome. My last trip to Henderson was a bust, but here are some pics from a trip in may. The Bluegills were nesting.

    Welcome aboard from Arkansas. You'll get more information on here than you can use. Time on the water and advise from
    the locals will make it happen.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    Welcome bug! Check out the beginners n mentoring forum on this site, and the guest speakers section. There is a ton of info on here. It's been years since I fished the basin. Most of Louisiana's similar waterways produce better when there is a little (not too much) current. So look for cover near areas with a bit of current. Also study what the fish eat in the waters you fish. I remember catching a bunch of sacs on a bridge about 10 miles south of Ramah. They were feeding on grass shrimp, and a white FleFly really worked well. Other baits are crawfish, and and shad imitation. I never really caught much at Butte La Rose, but I know people do.

    Study up and try different areas and baits. You will find them and learn to catch them!

    By the way I returned to the bridge several times, but never caught another fish there. I think that area is posted now.
