Hit up the Teche agin yesterday with a buddy. Caught a keeper on 3rd cast on a red trap and thought we were gonna have a good day, nope. didnt catch another fish till noon. Caught 2 bass 1 keeper and a nice striper. oh well beautiful day despite the wind.

Sorry forgot the pic

Sweet looking Striper. What you catch her on?

Nice fish!

striper bit a red/chartruse red eye shad

Man that stinks.......glad I stayed home ;-)

WHos boat did yall take?

Fish's

The teche stinks let's go to the bend

Did yall try fishing the boat docks and barges on the people side? I use to catch em pretty good on bandit 200 series cranks. Beats working anyway!

Im with you Dad.....Wish you had not sold your place on the bend :-(

No didnt try the city side, all those cypress trees on the other side are like a magnet it was hard to jump over. Ill def try the docks next time i go.

Launch
 

Where is the boat ramp located to launch into this portion of the Teche?

I use one of these two...http://www.cajuncoastpaddle.com/maps...rails-BTLA.pdf

Never fished this area but is it pretty easy to catch stripers around there I've always wanted to catch a few and make a good day out of it ?

It hasn't been easy to catchem just gotta go and fish and keep an eye out for the birds

I'm surprised they don't hang around the locks too much but always looks like good area when passing from 90 i just never get around to fishing that area

yea you right, i ve only fished it like 5 times since i first was taken last year. The water has gradually gotten dirtier each time i have been last couple weeks. If it starts to clear up and you catch a warm day, it may get good again.

Yeah my little hotspot over in the bay with the river rising got real muddy almost like chocolate milk could be where some of the dirty water is coming from is from the river

red eye shad is what I've been throwing, cant go wrong with it! I've bought 4 of em, along with some Rat L traps.
