Thread: Bream at Chicot

I spent three days at Chicot a couple years ago but did not fish. I thought it looked like a good lake for fishing and Plan to go back there soon. What can you tell me about the crappie fishing there

what kind of size are we talking about ???

Were they bluegill or shellcracker ??

Chicot is just north of Ville Platte.

As Basinfisher Said, It Is North Of Ville Platte By 6-7 Miles. It Is A State Park With Campgroundes And Cabins. It Has Fishing Docks, Nature Trails And Etc. There Is Excellent Bass (up To 14 Pounds Plus) Bream , Crappie And Other Species Of Fish. Hope This Helps. .....benthook....usaf Retired..54-75

I'm new to Louisiana I dont know where that is either, We live in Gonzales but we fish where ever we can find fish. Today we went to Bayou Corne had a great day brought home 52 nice size Bream 1 large catfish and one very nice Bass.. I would like to the crappie though.

ville platte is about 40 miles north of lafayette once you get off at i-10 and head north on i-49.

It's not good right now after the spawn but when they get turned on again, I will post something.
