Boy that sounds like the lake might be turning on, but like you said 3 baits 3 fish. Could be great or could be very hard to find a pattern.

Congrats on that hawg last week. Looks like you and Terry are doing well out there.

I see railroader has beat me to the punch to tell you about the fish I caught the other day. All were caught on the senko. Single trees. What a blast.

Mike Cork · March 29, 2005, 05:16:10 PM

Alright you two, one of you is going to have to take me out there next week

I will be ready to stick a pig by then

I am off until the 22 of April for R and R, that means fishing to me

Been catching some decent bass mostly shallow in the weed/tree mix, but if you really want to have a good time go deep into Big Green and simply swim a senko or fluke across the surface of the grass in the far back holes in Green Break and you can catch all the jackfish, bowfin, and some bass you want. Took some clients out today and finished up there the last 2 hrs. and wore out the trash fish.

Caught a 14 lb. bowfin too. with about 25 good sized jackfish and about 7 small bass in those last 2 hrs.
Later all

Mike Cork · March 29, 2005, 09:10:40 PM

Thanks for the update Paul, them trash fish sure can be fun too

BIG PAPA · March 29, 2005, 09:19:03 PM

I went out this evening for a couple of hours and found the Jacks also. I have been itching to fish a frog all winter so I started right at Mr. Petes camp up in Jeems. There is tons of duck moss on top of the coontail. I could not keep the jacks off of that thing. I did not actually boat that many , maybe 7-8 fish but if there were any bass in there the jacks beat them to the bait. Finally put the frog down just to get away from the jacks. Ended up catching a couple of small fish on a Senko

Mike Cork · March 31, 2005, 07:56:38 PM

Looking forward to chatting and fishing, shoot we both have the same scare to talk about now

Papa, I want to go with you too, even if we just go pitch worms and jigs to trees and shot the perverbial will you know.

BIG PAPA · April 01, 2005, 12:08:54 AM

Mike Cork · April 01, 2005, 05:14:04 PM

Railroader · April 01, 2005, 10:41:27 PM

Paul Keith · April 10, 2005, 12:17:19 PM

Fished the Po-boys open bass tournament and the Shreveport Police K-9 scramble tourney this weekend. We won both with 23.5 lbs and big bass in the k-9 tourney(5.18) Most fish came shallow(1-3 ft) on a 5 inch junebug V&M chopstik(senko) Had our limit of over the slots by 9 am, caught a total of 12 bass with 7 over the slot and 5 slots. Was real slow after about 10 am. Heard that Jeff Pate and partner won the Media Bass out there with a 24 lb. stringer and 10 lb. kicker, he supposedly lost one that would have been over 12. All our big fish were empty of eggs. All for now, see you on the water.

Ron Fogelson · April 10, 2005, 01:05:44 PM

Thats Great Paul, good Job.

BIG PAPA · April 10, 2005, 02:55:38 PM

Great job paul! Glad to hear Caddo is on right now.

papa

Chris · April 10, 2005, 03:14:33 PM

Half of the forum will be buying chopsticks after reading that. Or Paul will be booked for a month straight if he isnt already. Good job as usual Paul..

BIG PAPA · April 25, 2005, 10:00:07 PM

Trey and I fished Caddo Sun. after the front moved through Sat it was slow Sun.We caught a couple early on a Gorilla Buzzbait but they shut down quickly. After pounding trees with jigs for a while we went shallow with senko's and centipedes and picked up one here and there for the rest of the afternoon, ending the day with about 5 dinks and 5 slot fish and 1 over that was about 4 lbs. They were mostly on shallow grass near the banks around potters.

I fished Caddo today in the S&S tournament. Weighed 19 lb.s and did not even cash. Rick Evans and partner won with 24+ lbs. there were 2 - 24 lb. strings along with a 22 a 21 and a 20. I guess Caddo is healthy.

Mike Cork · April 30, 2005, 08:34:44 PM

Wow, any idea what is working out there?

Chris · April 30, 2005, 08:47:58 PM

Mike, I can tell you what isnt working......

I talked to Papa on the phone earlier and he made a great point .The good fish were caught before the front pushed all the way through this morning, making for an awesome bite ...Once again our club gets to deal with post front conditions wherever we fish....

We caught a ton of slots today on a weightless Senkos and frogs . We caught four slots between 17 and 18 inches

before 8 am and we got there about 6:25.

Mike Cork · April 30, 2005, 08:49:23 PM

Gotta love the slot fish

and yet I woudn't know what to do if we didn't fish post front. Maybe we can go to caddo and play with the front and florida bass, yeah that will be fun

BIG PAPA · April 30, 2005, 09:51:51 PM

I actually had a limit before 8:00 , but caught fish all day, took 11 fish before I had a limit then the slots took over. It was amazing how aggresive they were for about 2 hours. Can't give out any pattern till after the draw for our tourney tomorrow, although the front probably took care of that anyway. Trey and I will not be there for the drawing, I will call Mike at about 5.

Mike Cork · April 30, 2005, 09:56:43 PM

Wow, never thought I would hear that from you

Looking forward to seeing you and Trey tomorrow, where ever we fish $:-\$

Mike Noble · May 01, 2005, 06:49:49 PM

Fished Little Toledo Bend today in the TCTC tournament. Only managed 5 fish all day....4 on a white spinnerbait and 1 on a pumpkinseed/chartreuese lizard. Somehow it was good enough for 3rd place. Tough day...but it is expected...its Caddo. Instead of filling it up one bucket of sand at a time...lets just blow the damn and let it drain eventually into the Red River.
