Finally found me a camp on the bend and got settled in 4th of July weekend. I made 2 night fishing trips with the moon big and bright. We had a total of 9 solid fish. We fished in the Millers Point area to get out of the rough main lake. We did our best the first hour and a half when the moon rose. We fished in 12 foot of water on wood that was near a main river drop off. I lost the first fish I hooked which looked to be around 5 pounds right at the boat and the next cast I had one pull some serious drag and hung me in the wood. We used 10.5 inch old monster June bug red worms texas rigged. Great to be back on the lake and looking forward to all the post.

Been away for a few years due to a transfer to PA for work, but finally back down south. Looking forward to fishing the Bend again. Made a night fishing trip this weekend to the Bend and here are my results. Only got to fish 2 hours due to heavy storms. Spent most of the night in an abandoned boat shed trying to keep dry. Looking forward to reading and contributing to the thread again. FISHING REPORT Date: Saturday May 30th Area: Jessie Low - focused on pockets of grass on flats Depth: 10-12 ft Baits: Carolina rigged baby brush hogs and fluke Color: Watermelon Gold Glitter Bass: 12 total keepers in 2 hours. 4 spots and 8 large mouth. Most all were 2 to 3lb footballs with one about 4lbs All caught in a 50 yard stretch of spotted grass.

Fishing Report for 4/13-15 We got to the lake around 6pm and headed out to Jessie Lowe and caught 6 on C-Rigged watermelon red flukes in 8 to 12ft of water. Sat morning I fished a tournament at Sam Rayburn and placed third. After the tournament we headed back to the Big Pond and caught anouther 5 fish on the same pattern in Jessie Lowe. Sunday we fished until noon using the same pattern and landed 7 more. Nothing big, a few dinks mixed in, but all most were good quality 2 to 3 pd fish. All the fish were holding in grass. If you can find the grass you will catch some fish.

I have the same exact motor and year model. The same thing happen to me last year. I was told that it is a sensor (cant remember the name of it) that regulates the oil injection for the motor. I called the previous owner and he told me that it happened to him and that the sensor goes out every few years. The mechanic I brought it to told me that it would be better to disconnect the direct oil injection and put the oil in manually. It cost around $100.00 to have it fixed. I hope this helps.

Fishing Report, Friday Dec 31, 2010 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM Indian Mounds First we tried C-rig in 20 to 30 feet of water with no luck. We noticed the furthur we went back into the creeks the water got warmer. We ended up catching 2 dinks in 3-5 feet of water in the back of Indian Mounds on blue and chrome rattle traps, and shallow diving crank baits. Jessie Lowe We moved on over to Jessie Low and C-Rig in 10- 20 feet of water with no luck and then moved into the back of the creek in that area and picked up 9 fish 2 keepers around stumps in 3-6ft of water around stumps boat houses on shallow diving 100- Series Bandit crankbaits. We then moved to the Louisiana side around the Island at Big Bass and caught 2 keepers on the same pattern in 3-6 ft of water. I tried spooning in 25 feet of water with no luck also. Most fish were caught in 56 degree water. We didnt catch any big fish, but the fishing was fun.

Fishing Report Date: June 26 and 27 (Only fished a couple of hours after daylight both days) Lure: Silver Jigging Spoon, White Spinner Bait Location: Jessie Lowe Me and my wife had a ball fishing last weekend. We started out C-Rigging with Watermelon Red Flukes in 10ft to 17ft of water with minimal success. We were catching small undersized fish, so I moved to deeper water around 20ft and located a bunch of fish on my depth finder. I grabbed my jigging spoon and it was on. We caught a lot of different kinds of fish. We caught bass, strippers, hybrids, caspacou, and 2 blue cats that weighed about 8 pounds each. The bass would also school up around the boat sometimes and I would catch one or two with the spinnerbait. We ended up catching around 60-70 fish total over the two mornings with 19 being bass, with the largest being 4lbs. Can't wait to go back this weekend.

Fishing Report, Fished a club tournament Saturday. We fished Arnolds, Negrett, and Yocum. We caught a total of 14 fish. Nothing to brag about all small. We did manage to put together a five fish stringer for 9.2lbs to come in 4th place. We started the morning beating the banks with senkos then moved off the banks to about 8ft of water. We had more action in the 8ft to 10ft depth range. Two of the keepers came in 10ft of water slow rolling a spinner bait. The rest were caught fishing a senko wacky style. capierrottie2

I fished our club tournament Saturday. It was very tough for us as well. We caught 5 fish total 2 dinks and 3 keepers. We took 3rd place out of 9 boats with around 7 pounds. The winner of the tournament took had little over 11 pounds. I fished till dark after weigh in and only caught one more fish. We caught our fish in 8ft of water around submerged tree tops with carolina rigged flukes.

FYI, I am fishing a club tournament tommorrow. Will let you know how it goes. capierrottie2

Here is the pic

Fishing Report, We launched Sunday at South Toledo Bend State Park on the Louisiana side. We hit the Texas Island, Mill Creek, Housen, Indian Mounds, and Jessie Low. We threw R-Traps and C-Rigged Flukes (watermelon Magic and Candy). We caught all fish with the C-Rigged Flukes. The fish were caught in depths of 7ft to 20ft of water. We caught 8 total and kept 5. The biggest weighing around 3.5 pounds. The water temp was 47 to 48 degrees. The water was murky/soupy with alot of dead shad floating in certain areas. I attached a pic of our catch. We fished from 8:30 am to 3:30pm. We did not get our first bite until noon. capierrottie2

I know this is off subject, but does anyone know someone or some place that will replace boat carpeting at a reasonable price near Lake Charles or Toledo Bend. Thanks, capierrottie2

Fishing Report, Locations: Indian Mounds, Housen, Jessie Low Date: Sat Jan. 16th Fish: 3 fish weighing in around 3 pounds each Baits: Chrome/Blue R-Trap C-Rigged Baby Brush Hog (watermelon candy) Conditions: Misting Rain Water - Muddy Water Temp- 46 degrees

Fishing Report, I went to the big pond Sunday from midday and had to leave due to the wind and waves about an hour before daurk. We launched at Kite's landing on the Louisiana Side ( I dont recommend launching there with a North Wind) we launched ok, but by the end of the day there were around 3 foot swells and i like to never got my boat back on the trailer. We headed across to the Indian Mounds to try our luck Carolina Rigging (watermelon candy and watermelon gold flukes) from the mouth of the creeks back into the creek channels . The water was murky and the water temp was around 52 degrees. We had two bites and landed one, just a pickle. Then we headed to Jessie Lowe and the wind was picking up, so we tried to just drift with Carolina Rigs. There was plenty of grass there, but we were drifting too fast to work the baits slow like we would have liked to. We had no bites, but I believe it was due to the boat drifiting to fast and not being able to work our baits slow enough. We decided to go back to the Louisiana side, because the lake was getting rough. We headed into Yockum ( I have never fished that area). The wind was too bad to fish where I wanted to so we head back into the cut to the left to get out of the wind. The grass was pretty thick there and it was too shallow for my liking, so we headed back in to finish the day. I did learn a valuable lesson. That is you better think before you just go launch your boat anywhere.

Catt, I have fished this area before. I know that the grass here is not as good as years past, but is coming back little by little each year. In my experience here the morning bite is the best. I have a friend who has a camp east of the coordinate you gave on the pennisula. He said that in the past when the grass was plentiful he would never have to crank his engine. He would limit out fishing this area. It is a good area to fish by experience.
