re: Bass Fishing Tommorow 1-17-26
Posted by Ron Cheramie on 1/17/26 at 7:28 am to voros79
I’ve always been a person who thought cold water slows down the bite and you should slow way down too. It was 19 degrees post front on Guntersville and every one of those guys is throwing a chatterbait or ratl trap fairly shallow in grass

Obviously this format is for numbers. I feel like if it was a BASS event everyone would have had that scope turned on and had some pretty big weights

Don't really watch this but if they are fishing Guntersville today they are earning it. I was just outside beside Wheeler Lake for a couple of hours and it is white capping all across the river. Wind chill is 23 up here today with 15 mph winds.
Winter bass fishing is still new to me. I would be in 40 feet of water in these conditions. And some are but they are tearing their arse up pretty shallow in the hydrilla with ratl traps and chatter baits

The new chairman for LWFC is a north Louisiana Baw not affiliated with the commercial fishing industry so maybe there will be some common sense there
He voted against the pogie mafia this last round
However the newly appointed vice chairman (south Louisiana Baw) voted for the pogie mafia

Ducks coming to Louisiana winter here. They form large rafts in the Gulf at times.
They also are well known to loaf throughout the day and feed at night. You can go to Lacassine refuge and Cameron Prairie and several other NWRs where there are thousands of ducks. Those ducks pick up at sunset and head out of there and right before shooting hours they come back.
Also in February when the shooting stops those very ducks venture out of the refuges onto other areas. These are the ducks that “just showed up” in February

If Kennedy wants to fight that ethanol mandate that added a few million acres of corn to the landscape I am all for it. Don’t see why we are growing corn to out in my fuel tank

I just wish they would not double down on the “change” in 1998 and “normal agriculture practices”. Stop using this. Nothing hanged in 1998. It was always legal to do what we are doing now
Yes. There is nothing “normal” about flooding unharvested corn. There is also nothing “normal” about putting a levee around bottomland hardwoods and flooding it either
Or flooding harvested rice solely to duck hunt.

Now switch rice for sugarcane. How many acres of what used to be rice fields are now planted in sugar (or fallow)?
There are still piles of rice fields but they are used as crawfish ponds which are virtually worthless for a dabbling duck. I didnt live in south Louisiana back in the day but I can drive all on hwy 10 from welsh to Crowley which is solid rice fields (crawfish) and not see a single duck. I can’t imagine it was like that back in the day

re: Ouachita River
Posted by Ron Cheramie on 1/8/26 at 11:36 am to Ron Cheramie
It sucks because now some of the river lakes are landlocked
Some of my favorite lakes to
Fish off the river were lakes that were easily accessible at pool stage and the landowners got permits to put in culverts. Culverts that don’t allow boats in them and now they have their own private lakes. Scared there will be much more
Of that now

I think it’s the new norm. They were working on the Columbia dam which made it 3 feet low and from what I have heard I’that pool stage will be 18.5 from now on

There's been recent years with plenty of snow on the ground up north and duck numbers down here still sucked.
There are a couple videos of Habitat Flats and another research station where ducks are just chilling standing on 8 inches of ice in 10 degree weather eating corn off the stalks They can withstand very harsh conditions with readily available hot foods No need to move south of that

I know there is a slew of things here at home that aren’t helping ducks and I can name a ton of them.
Corn production north of us has had a definite impact on mallards. Think of when your best mallard years were and then think about when you saw the decline. And think about the year that the ethanol mandate came about and you will see the decline started at that very moment
There are millions of acres of dry corn fields north and west of us that were not corn back in the day. It’s almost unlimited

Didn’t realize people were leaving the corn standing. We leave every other pass standing on soybeans then flood it.
Totally legal to do either. Can harvest some and leave some or leave it all standing and flood it. Should it be is the question
Habitat Flats and others get paid by NRCS (government) for this. They also are able to sell very expensive hunts on that exact same property us taxpayers are paying for. That’s the rub

Just skimmed the article but are you talking about flooding a cornfield? Every time I have ever hunted Arkansas it was over a field intentionally flooded for ducks with zero agricultural reason to be doing it at that time. Hell half the time it was soybean fields. If they cut that practice out you talk about some pissed off people.
The difference is those soybeans were harvested.

yeah the deer are dying WITH cwd….. not FROM.
CWD is always fatal
Seems that CWD hasn’t been around in Louisiana very long but after a few years its prevalence rate will go up and you will start seeing deer with clinical signs of CWD. Arkansas and North MS along the TN border are further along than us and there is a very noticed decrease in deer population and a very noticeable increase in deer sightings with CWD symptoms that turn out to be positive
It’s here to stay and it’s going to change our deer hunting I personally want to know where CWD is so I can avoid hunting those areas for as long as possible and to be able to know where it is you have to test for it.
