Big Lake 2/28/10
 

Man, what a beautiful day on the water. Weather and conditions were near perfect and not many boats running the lake early. We ran the length of the lake checking different spots. Water was pretty nice from mid-lake south. Found the armada of oyster boats on the south end, I didnt know Cameron had that many boats.:eek: Fishing still isnt were it needs to be. We managed to put some "W" sized trout in the boat, but nothing to jump up and down about. Everything was caught on jerk jr's and will be eaten in a timely fashion. Micah has the pictures on his camera and I'm sure he will post em up as soon as he gets home. Hope everyone else had as much fun on the water today as we did.

It was nice aight. But no fish for me and the fadda in law but one rat red. And no trout. Had little time and patience for trout. Glad to hear ya'll did good. The water was gorgeous and not a cloud in the sky. it was a circus at the first weirs. Kinda like sittin' at a boat ramp....

people was climbing all over that 1st weir

Even the *****s were out.....

Like someone trying to ESCAPE from a PRISON!!:*****:FOOL were you on the top given them a hand to help them get over!!:*****:

Cameron Parish past by, didn't don anything about it.
Did see a hefer at the weirs aswell!

Just talked with Micah said he was posting the pics when he gets home..Im posting some pics of LIl D and Big D potlicking us today...

Just got home and will post pics in a minute. Wife said I gotta get rid of the fish smell...

she found out ya been cheatin huh????:eek::eek::eek:

We put a few fish in the boat awell today. When we passed by the 1st weir it looked like some one had stepped in a ant hill. They where playing tug a war with each other it was funny.

definitely a nice day to be out on the water, fool made me get in the water and wade didn't catch a thing, did have to spend 250 bucks on trolling motor batteries but now im ready for the tournament, can't wait

OK, here is our big catch. All "W" keepers" that will kook up well :p

Weather was fantastic, but water and fishing was not. Water temp was around 56 degrees. Turners was muddier than a sewer ditch. Better water was south, but so was the Oyster Armada. Must be a run on Oysters Bienville as if there wasn't 100 of em there wasn't one.

No fish, but we did test out both the Okuma baitcaster and the spinner and they were awesome to say the least. Let's hope for a solid weather run the next two weeks!!!

:*****::*****::*****:

Batter them up and fry whole! :*****:

man that serrano is smooth just wish i would have potlicked raymond so i could have reeled in a fish with it, still can't get over how light that thing is on my rodsmith rod, feels like an ultralight

I need a new trolling motor batteries i am getting tired of buying new ones every year what is the best one out there?

pfft i got pics..POTLICKER

wouldn't be a good idea D, around me people with guns tend to die and its not me :smokin:, that wasn't right

Nice "limit" Micah....man, I feel better, phew. I thought I was the only not catching.

Actually I am cooking fish sticks out of spite. If I can't eat trout I am going to take it out on one of their cousins!!!

Couldn't have picked a better day to get out though. Wow, what a day!

:*****::*****::*****::*****:

:eek:

yea what’s the deal with that! I’m not familiar with the oyster regs in the lake... do they do that all year long?

Oyster season ends around April 1st.
They do it certain months of the year and it also depends on water level, temperature and bacteria levels taken by a state man.

There were not near as many oyster fishermen when they had to use manual tongs.
Now that they opened up dredging, everyone is making $300/day before noon.
It is possible to have an oyster license for more than one boat by just one person.
Some greedy oyster fishermen catch 4 or 5 limits per day, on different boats.
Dredges will cut down on the oysters in the lake. But there will still be hard reef bottoms and some small oysters are thrown back in. They don't keep them all.

That pic is an instant classic....:*****::*****::*****:Thats good stuff right der!!!!

Question
 

Ray, I thought only certain areas of the lake or a certain reef was open at one time. Is this correct?

and you are dead on about the tongs. Tried it for a little while. You better have a great back.
