Recent Tchefuncte River fishing reports indicate that crappie are being found in deeper water (20-25 feet) and can be caught on jigs, though the bite can be soft. Largemouth bass have been caught with wacky rigs and other techniques, with color changes like green pumpkin with red flake proving effective. Early mornings before boat traffic is heavy are ideal times to fish, especially for crappie. CrappieLocation: Look for them in deeper water, particularly in the 20-25 foot range. Technique: Jigs are working well, but sometimes the fish are not biting well and a different color may be needed. Timing: Early mornings are best before boat traffic increases. Largemouth BassLocation: Grass edges and creek bends around stumps are good spots. Technique: Try a wacky rig, Texas rig, or weightless fluke. Experimenting with different lure colors, like green pumpkin with red flake, can be crucial to success. Timing: Early mornings are often the best time before boat traffic picks up. General TipsTime of Day: Early mornings are consistently mentioned as the best time to go, especially to avoid boat traffic. Electronics: Modern fish finders with side and down scan capabilities are invaluable for locating crappie schools in deeper water. Bait: Live bait like minnows or crawdad imitators can be effective, as can specific lures like jigs and swimbaits. Conditions: Fog can sometimes indicate good fishing, as seen in one report where the fog rose off the warm water.
