Never knew where to go for some freshwater action....now I do. I"m wondering if I can get into any good spots with my kayak?

I can't recall meeting your father. I'll have to ask around.

West of us? You must be speaking of Big Lake?
I'm leading the trip that way because I'm familiar with that area. I have limited...

I had permission to fish back there when the old man was still alive. He was really nice. When he passed his son took over, I didn't know him really well but he let me fish as long as I didn't leave...

When the water's muddy in the tchefuncte, hit the rice field. Muddy water takes a few days to get back there, if at all. There's a few holes that hold decent sacalait, but not the monsters that you...

I wanted to invite all of you to check out lafayettekayakfishing.com
We are a club that fishes salt and fresh from kayaks. We fish areas from Lake Charles to Venice. We have a saltwater tournament...

Just wondering if anyone has been lately? And if so what cha catch?

I read an older post about Robinson's guide service. I PM'ed the guy who took the trip but no reply just yet.

I'll try PMing skip.

Thanks fellas!

I'm looking to take my first guided trip in November.
I'm wondering if any of you have experience with guides on Toledo that's worth referring?

There were three of us. We got rained on, and was soaking wet after a couple of hours of fishing. We had a good time, caught over 100. We kept 55. Didn't keep any under 9"! The jigs didn't work. We...

Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll go tie a few before tomorrows trip.
I'll post pictures if I have any luck!

Anyone come across a color combo that the bluegills or shellcrackers go nutts over?

Yeah, I like to use grass shrimp after crickets. You'll often find that there are a few more fish down there!

Caught some gills, that's about it.
There were garfish all around. Didn't really look like anyone was catching. Many people left when it started raining it didn't last too long though. The park...

Thanks for the reply!
Not sure about the wind and rain today, but I'm going to take a chance.
I was looking at a map and it looks like there's a bunch of trees or stumps, so I don't think I'll...

I was thinking about going to the park tomorrow. I have never been, don't have a boat. I was thinking about renting a boat, but I don't think they rent motors? I have a trolling motor that I'll take....

That catfish in the tree may not be for decoration. I use to do that to gather a large school of gills. After a few days maggots will appear and start dropping into the water. The gills will hang...

Is the tournament over the weekend or just friday?

It's good that they actually donate the fish!

It's hard to leave them biting, so you just catch them and thow em back!
There's no need to take that many when you live in Louisiana!
I wonder which charity got the fish? LDWF may be signed on as...

I've been told to use sardines, an older guy told me that the oil attracts them. I have never tried it though. Let us know if it works.

Whoever marries her is a LUCKY man!

I wouldn't worry about buying the good stuff first. You're not going to like the first 40 or so jigs you tie. So it's money wasted. Just my two cents.

You have some good looking jigs there Skip!
I think less glitter would catch the sun better, but that's my opinion.

I use a 3/8" balsa pencil float for popping shallow water (up to 4').

Once I find where they are I set it so the jig is 6-8" above the fish. The first 20 or so casts are worked with the typical...

That's one clean rig!!!! Did you purchase the boat new? If so, where did you get it?

That green looks good, but I bet that orange will look better!
Post it when you get it all together.

It's a black glitter head.

How is it on the water? I've never tied with this color head.

I don't know about the areas you plan to fish, but here in lafayette the weather man is saying 40% on both days. I hope they are wrong...we need some more pictures! Good luck!
