Ouachita

Apr 14 08

YEE HAA    Beautiful Lake Ouachita. Had a really great week. We caught 77 fish for the week. We never did find the big ones. They were all between 10 to 14lbs. The water was real muddy when we got there, but it sure didn't hurt the fishing. They are just about ready to spawn. With the water muddy they were not very aggressive until they could see the boat and then the fight was on. We caught them every where we fished. We fished the Twin creeks flats, Striper point and Outhouse cove. We went about as far as we could go up the river till the water cleared and the carp were spawning and caught some there. I had trips on Sunday and Tuesday and did good on both. The Tuesday trip was just three hours and we caught three fish and then the wind started blowing and kinda messed up the rest of the trip. In the pic of Jay and Tina there eyes are looking to the right, that is because a pole is bent over. The group of guys I had on Sunday and Monday had the best of both worlds. We had great weather and caught a good amount of fish. It was a real pleasure to fish with guys who enjoyed each others company(mostly brothers) and enjoyed the outdoors. Jay and Tina were there on vacation and was enjoying the beauitful scenery of the lake.

The water temp. was around 60deg. Most of the fish were caught in 25 to 30 ft of water. We caught them on downlines freelines and freelines with split shot.

FISH ON!!!!
