Thanks for the info Bass_Fanatic, unfortunately I didn't see your response until today after we had gone. well the report is... IT'S HOT!!! I caught one fish early on a Texas rigged 11in. worm (Black w/ Chartreuse tail) and fished just about everything but a pointer. We started out fishing the oxbow, worked down the river down to what I believe was the entry to St. Maurice lake. At about 10:30 we decided to go up Saline Bayou. We went all the way up to where LA84 bridge comes across and worked a good 3-4 mile stretch with spinner baits, T-rigged worms, crank baits, and a Spro frog all to no avail. At around 1 we called it quits and went for a hamburger at Midway Marina. Best thing I caught all day. Wished I'd have read ur post before we went because I would have tried your strategy. After a few years of not being on the water, my inexperience is showing but I'm gonna stay patient and keep fishing. Keep me informed and I'll do my best to let you know what they aren't biting lol! Thanks!
