Lots of minnow fishing in the river and some canals. I prefer to single (or 2 pole) jig in the thick stuff. Some guys spider rig in the river or troll. I think you can catch them any way you wish.

Aren't too many slips on the Big O, if you've never been. Most places to stay are outside the levy. KOA is close to the lake, but not on the water, like most other places.
