Looking to get into freshwater fishing. Does anyone have experience fishing Caernarvon? Saw Don Dubuc fishing there a while back and they were tearing up the sac a lait. It was in February. Thanks for any tips/help.

I've never fished there for sacacraperch, but some green trouts can be caught with the specks down by oak river/spanish lake. But that's a little bit of a run

Might try Lake Lery

I don't have any experience fishing Sacalait in that area however since there haven't been any replies I will try to offer the best tid bits that I can.

The guys I know that fish that area for sacalait talk about fishing structure extremely tight. They use long jigging poles to drop a small tube/hair jig/roadrunner (blue/white, black/chart, red/green plastics or white hair jig) right on the structure. They fish a lot of logs, trees, and pilings. From what they tell me you have to be right on the structure and being off of it by just a few inches is usually the difference between a strike and another empty cast. Live bait is always a good bet, and tipping the jig never hurts. They also pick up a lot of a catfish with this technique which was surprising to me.

Also if you aren't familiar with the area make sure you pay attention to the wind and tides. It is easy to get stuck if you don't watch out. A north wind with a falling tide will leave you camping in your boat until the water comes back up if you are in the wrong spot. You will cross a lot of shallow water once you get out of the Lery area.

However it is a great area to fish in and I have had some of my best bass fishing trips out there. --you are also bound to bump into some redfish back there--

Good Luck.
