The secret isn't a certain place. It's a certain type of place. Nasty stagnant water, covered in duck weed or lillies. The more leeches the better. My turtles have been covered in leeches. Turtles also like water above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The bayou is gonna be too big. Too many other critters to steal your bait, water moves too fast, and water is too cold.

Find places the bayou splits off, like into a drainage ditch and fish the hole where the two meet.

I have one big slew that drains into the bayou one a big rain. Looks like that might be it. I need to go down the bayou and find a few more. Thx W

If you can find some cow ponds that cows keep the water churned up in, don't pass them up. Course I use traps and hooks may not be good in a cow pond that's being used. You may want to get a couple of turtle nets.

I got some with this guy. He's a commercial fisherman and was helpful, to a point, in pointing me in the right direction.

btw, what is a 5 eye hook?
