no shite... thats why I said move it up to coincide with it.

---

they have always wanted the fish to spawn without being fished hence the yearly closure prior to rodeo

Can't say that I remember a closure last year before the rodeo

Where is the best place to fish it? And mainly plastics on texas rig?

It was cold and windy last year. Made the yak division kind of rough.

Hey, sorry nado and 87, I was cutting grass

You can catch bass pretty much anywhere there's water.. I'd avoid the front of CP at first until you get a little experience, I find there's more fish in the back of the park (north of I-610) but there are definitely still bass up front.. there's just a lot of pressure.. I have one particular spot that I catch decent size fish EVERY single time we go, but no 5+ pounders, but I can't give you that info just yet

The forest across the street from the soccer field is a great place to fish, if your son is walking, he'll love walking through the woods and there are tons of places to fish.. just pick a spot and try it for awhile, then move down.. you can also fish anywheres off of Marconi, I've caught tons of bass there too.. honestly there are tons of places to fish, and you can't go wrong. If you're like me you'll get hooked and start fishing it consistently lol. If you need more help figuring out the spots I'm talking about, let me know

City Park is one of Nola's hidden gems, I truly love spending time out there - maybe the outdoor board can meet up and have a beer at the rodeo

Depends.. black and blue artificial worms when the water is unusually murky.. Spinnerbaits are always consistent when the weather isn't freezing

Lately I've been smoking them on a crankbait that dives at a 2-4 ft depth, the water is rarely deeper than that.. anything that has the bluegill color or chartreuse works great

I'll prolly start with a junebug brush hog and chartreuse spinnerbait

Any luck on frogs ever?

I'm not a fan of fishing frogs unless it's real early in the morning or almost dark

But yea, they'll hit that too lol

That's a good start... can't go wrong with that. I forgot to mention the brush hogs in my other post, but those are nice too
