We fished Wednesday and Thursday up Neegret. Very muddy water temp at 52, managed to catch 6 total with 3 keepers largest around 3 pounds. All caught in 20ft of water. Thursday was bad all day long. Rain and more rain.

Does anyone know how the water is in mill?

Which Mill?

Mill creek. Fished housen and north today but didn't do too good. I'm thinking things might be better south

I fished south today. There were more boats on the water today than the macdonalds tournament. I caught a 4 and my dad caught a 5 in the first 15 minutes and then it shut off. I caught one more 3lber and had 2 fish for 7lbs. Sadly, I came in 8th out of 39 guys with that. It is tough right now everywhere.

There are at least 4 Mill creeks that I know of!

Bass_Fanatic don't you read bassresource?

With the present water temperatures the bass should be squarting eggs every where!

Fished south yesterday around Texas Island and struggled, worked back up to Hickory and caught some flipping brush but were not loaded in there yet. Moved to Houssen and fought the crowd to catch one more out deep. Ran back to Palo Gaucho and the water temp finally climbed into the 60's and the fish started to turn on. Caught several more and had a friend catch 2 5's on a

Light Carolina rig fishing a small creek bend leading into a spawning area, they are starting to move!! There was a 8 and several other nice fish weighed in from our club. The 8 came out of 5ft of water. The winner of our club caught his fish on a chatter bait in the back of Lowes and the second place bag came out of Carrice on a Carolina rig. So I would say the fish are scattered everywhere and don't run from muddy water like I did. My deep fish were gone and probably were hitting the bank. There was a 11.94 caught on the back side of Texas Island on a chatter bait Friday. Water in Mill down south was chalky but not too muddy. Water temp was 54. The rising water level has the fish a little messed but hopefully will settle because the next few days is going to be awesome!!

Hope this helps. Good luck!!

And someone told me there aint no bass in 6-Mile!

Awesome fish Shaneus! I struggled had yesterday. I was one some good fish, after catching that 4 and 5lber in the first 15 minutes I figured I was gonna have an easy 25lbs. I was WRONG lol!

Next week I am staying at Big Bass Marina on the Louisiana side.  First of all, is it a decent place to stay?  Second, my map shows Big Bass Marina is on Caney Creek.  Is this the good fishing Caney Creek?

 

Thank you,

Thanks!!

If I were going in April, I'd stay in buck and mill creek and sight fish!

Is stunk up the tournament Saturday. Caught one and missed 5 others. Went Friday afternoon north and was on fish in 20 minutes. Figured Id start there and work back south for weigh in. Water came up a foot over night and really made the water dirty. Managed one and missed one. Went south and joined the crowd in Piney Point and clear creek. Caught another and missed 4 more. Could've had my 5 but they weren't enough anyway. Went back Sunday to figure em out some more and water came up some more over night. Caught one buck bass on the bank and had to head home for 11:00 so headed in. Gonna be on fire in the next few weeks. Hope the rain stays away and water level stays put. I caught my fish and got bit flippin brush with a black red glitter tube.

Fished Friday from 1pm to 7pm... didnt get my first bite until 630pm.  Fished all of indian mounds anywhere from 5-25 ft, then went to the back of hausen. water was stained and didnt stay for long. Ran to Oilwell and fished some spots with no bites. Headed across to LA side and got 6 keepers in 30 minutes off a brush pile in 9-12 ft of water on drop shot.

 

Saturday went back to the pile and caught 3 keepers in the first 30 minutes of the day then the bite shut down. Stayed around Negreet all saturday to only manage two more keepers. A buddy of mine caught a 5,6, 6 1/2 on football jigs in 10-12 ft on humps with structure. All the fish i cleaned had 1/2-1" shad in them.

 

Salters, Big Bass, and Arnolds cove were dirty.

Fished this weekend the San miguel and 1215 area. TOUGH !!!! Only managed 8 fish all weekend. I guess the fresh water has them in a funk. All bites came flipping in 2 to 3 feet of water around the bushes. On the up side 3 were around 5lbs. Looks like more rain on the way.

Finally put something together today, caught 15# in six mile, dad with his biggest of the year...

My brother is a marshall for the elites on Sabine this week/weekend. I'll try and post some pictures when he sends them. Gonna be a tough one for all.

My brother has Clifford Pirch as pilot tomorrow.

22# bag was caught on the calcasieu river a week ago... Top 5 went:

 

6.76

6.32

3.08

3.35

2.71

 

 

What can of information can you draw by looking at lake levels? besides the obvious depth of the water..

 

In other words, what does a high or low lake level protray to you as a fisherman concerning where you go or what you throw?

Salty that's awesome!

We gonna have to do a Southwest Louisiana thread!

As of 3-19-15

Lake level: 172.89, last five days 172.3 - 173'

Generator #1: Sabine River running 24 hrs

Flood gates: Toro Creek, 9 opened @ 3'

171-173' is high despite the stated flood stage is 172'. Normal is usually 169-170.

I expect to find nest farther back in the brush if the level stay high.

I expect the back of creeks to be off colored, again normal.

As always I pick an area with the least boat traffic & fish it!
