hows the fishing in the basin right now? buddy and i are going sat.

Try to find some clean water; that's going to be the challenge. I'd look for underwater drop offs on the ends of canals and use red eye shad pattern crankbaits.

Also, pay attention to the water temp. A change of a few degrees from one canal to the next can make a huge difference in terms of fish activity.

are the crappie bedding right now? if they are im thinking we will try to find spots a foot or two deep and start out using a couple different color jigs and go from there.

What part of the basin are you talking about?

Before this storm and the temp drops, they were tearing the bass and sacalait up! Cool temps are going to slow it down some as will the water rise. It will be muddy.

Good luck though. Bring lots of beer.

Search Facebook for the Henderson Fishing Reports Group. It's a closed group but someone will accept your friend request. Those guys are money when it comes to fishing Henderson. Nice catches were posted recently.

So if one was in search of cleaner water? Go South? Spillway? Belle River? Verret? Spillway side further south? I want to try some sac au lait maybe late morning/afternoon somewhere I have the best chance finding decent water...at least best launch spot? Any recommendations? Don't mind running/looking but want the best launch point advice so I'm not boxed in to bad water everywhere
