Bayou Sorrel morning until around 3pm.
Caught a 4lber, 2- 12” to a lot of 14-1/2” bass this year.
I stopped counting at 30 bass which most were released except my legal limit.
Topwater frog or pop r brought in the larger fish.
Texas rig brought in the 14-1/2” bass.
One spot I caught 15 bass back to back.

I think this week when water moves out faster the front canals will be on fire.

Bayou Piegeon same thing.
5:30 am to around 2 pm.
A lot of 14-1/2” bass.
Caught 1-3lber off a pop R throwing in the Wood.
You could see the bass slaying shad in the woods.
Bigger ones stayed at edge of the canal and woods.

The bass are there you just have to know where to go to find them.

Stop by if you see my nephew and I in the spillway.
This is his boat nothing fancy 1990 Fisher with 1993 75 hp Mercury. It runs like a scolded cat, he says it is paid for, and does not leak.

screw that place when it comes to bass


Says you



i had a rough morning bass fishing there on Saturday. fished cranks, frogs, flukes, jigs, and lizards. the two keepers that we caught were on a crank and on a lizard. caught a bunch of small goggleye on full sized jigs and lizards. my guess is that they are deep now. probably in those posted areas. does that sound reasonable?

I don’t know how deep those posted areas are. But yeah, hot and sunny weather and not much cover, they’ll go deep. Need to get out of the bayou and into those open areas. Close lake drops to almost 20 feet in the middle. Don’t remember how deep Cowan is, but not quite that deep. Those fish will come up to feed early and late and probably sit on a break line a little deeper when the sun gets high. Most of the bass I caught out there was dead sticking a senko, or on a deep diving jerk bait.

I was surprised also as the water was in the high
80’s.

Again the bigger fish were on the drop off coming out of the woods into the canal. The 14-1/2” dinks were in the woods maybe 10ft to 15ft feeding like a school of speckled trout. You couldn’t have missed the noise they were making. Sit in the canal off from the bank Incase lined up where canal starts and throw a frog or topwater to them.

The front part of Bayou Sorrel and Piegeon I could not give away a lure to the bass. I think this week these areas should be good.

Gas wise we burnt 6 gallons each trip with that little motor so not going to lie we were working to find spots.

Yes, grand river has some serious current so a guy in a small boat has to watch it. Once they get into the canals it is fine. My nephews boat is 16’9” 50” bottom with 75hp that boat does fine. Just got to turn trailer slightly up river to control the boat better to load it easier than coming straight loading up. Learned that trick in the 1980’s from a commercial fisherman. You don’t have to fight the current sideways coming into the trailer.

Now one scary thing I saw Asian carp all over the place almost every stop I made. One guy comes hauling butt down to the backend of a canal and got them going and left.

Last year I was fishing at Henderson and one jumped and hit me in the dick. Scared the shite out of me.

You win that is not funny.

I had one hit me in the face running about 25 mph.
My nephew laughed until that thing jumped all over his boat floor and slimed up his carpet.??

They are stacked in the back of canals, so just be careful guys.

I was with my nephew and he laughed for a solid 10 minutes. Once my balls stopped hurting i was able to laugh about it.

I'm surprised you didn't get knocked out lol

Had one of those suckers almost take me out in the Bayou Salé area a while back. They scare me.

Felt like someone hit me with a basketball in my face. Funny afterwards just not funny while going through the pain and shock of a large fish hitting you.

They need to find a huge demand for eating these suckers before they take over.
Every place I stopped they were schooled up.
