Weekend Fishing Report

Well...I was considering going there tomorrow morning...
You may have had the hook in a soft spot or a bad hook up and when any slack happens, the hook comes out. It happens especially with weedless baits

I thought I set the hook enough

First of all, once you have the fish on, keep your rod tip down unless you're trying to pull him over or away from a log or weed bed. This will reduce the amount of jumping they do.

If you're fishing with a worm, you really need to set the hook hard with a sharp motion. If you're losing them on spinnerbaits/buzzbaits, once the fish is on the line, it doesn't hurt to give the rod a good tug to sort of set the hook. With crankbaits, don't set the hook, just lean into the fish with the rod. You're going to lose fish on crankbaits from time to time if they jump and shake. Not much you can do about it except keeping your rod tip down.

And in all cases, if you ever give the fish slack in the line, you risk losing it.

Hope you have better luck. People galore out there with the start of gator season.

After these reports I may fishing up my deer stand in the morning and possibly make an afternoon trip when everyone else has gone home

Had a couple small bass and about 6 or 7 bream yesterday in Lake Des Allemands area. Did get 4 nice cats on the 6 jugs we threw out on the way to fish.

Caught a limit of bass and a goggle eye and a 4 foot Alligator gar this morning in bayou black. It was slow, water was a little murky and not Moving much.

Where at? Or vacinity if you don't want to reveal your spot. Just wondering. All my usual spots were slow

Went out of Cocodrie.....43 specks and 2 bull reds....let the Bulls go to fight another day.

We were there along with half of Louisiana it seemed. Me and my buddy caught about 20 and a few goggle eye. Kept 12. It was like a parking lot out there. Junebug color seemed to be the ticket.

Limits Friday & Saturday
