fall and spring are the best time to fish it, the summer is good too, but with the spillway opened it has keep the water from flowing out as much, which keeps the water from getting oxygen, but the pearl is real deep and the bigger fish get hard to find and the smaller fish are getting deeper too. I don't fish the west pearl much but its been a good place to fish lately. but once the water goes down in henderson or bayou pigeon, I'm gonna be fishing the Achafalaya.

its on its way down now, slowly but shirley. couple buddies went and caught 12-14 inch big fat bass on topwater frogs. they said they looked like a football coming out of the water.
