Spring is here and the fishing is terrific. The rising Pearl river will push crawfish into the bayou. Look for this to create a feeding frenzy. Bass, catfish, yellow bass, sac au lait and lake runners will seize the opportunity to gorge. Best artificial baits will be crawfish and bream colored. Use weedless floating worms and spinnerbaits in the spring for bass. The other species can be caught with grass shrimp, crickets or small crawfish fished a couple of feet under a cork. Look for clean water and fish the weed lines and structure. On the saltwater scene, look for a few fish to be caught at the mouth of the bayou near the rocks when the wind allows you to venture out. Occasionally, a redfish or trout can be caught in the Fritchie Marsh area. Good fishing to all.

Access Info
Best baits are weedless floating soft plastics early. As the sun warms switch over to a Texas rigged worm in Tequila sunrise or black. Bream can be caught on worms, crickets or Berkley nibbles. The mouth of the bayou has been chock full of mullet which has brought in the Jack Crevalle. Drum, croakers, and redfish have been roaming the area and provide decent action on some days. Artificial shrimp have been working the best. Crabbing has been much better this year when compared to prior years.Click here to unsubcribe from your fishing reports.
