Has anyone been fishing the oxbows sense the river is back down to pool stage? I went Thursday but had to cut my trip short due to a problem with a coon. The fish finder showed plenty of shad and caught 1 keeper pulling cranks.

We went briefly this evening in pool 5. Water was muddy and still high. My friend caught 2 around 2pounds each on ji
g, I got one bite and missed it. I was in the back of the boat. Hard to see stumps, most were underwater. Should get good if the water will drop a foot or two.
Headed to buhlow next chance i get. See what to do when I get there.

The COE keeps the river at 21' in Alex for navigation purposes it's been holding steady all week long, it should be good for the weekend if we don't get much rain.
Fishervet, Do you do good catching sacs at buhlow this time of year? I fish it often and have the best bite feb-april after that, I cant find the sacs at all.

We were just fishing stumps and fallen logs. We keep saying we are going to put out brush piles, but haven't yet. Maybe this fall/winter. As the water continues to fall, it should clear up some more. A slow fall is predicted. Hope your coon dog Spot is doing well!
