Tchefuncta River Fishing

ive never had any luck there except a few small bass

interested to see if someone has ever caught much there

They're there. I wish I could give you spots or something but I really don't have anything specific. I fish between Beau Chene and the interstate. Just fish the cuts and look for em popping water or check the treetops. I try to get far back into the neighborhood canals. Shiners will help you find them and then jigs will catch once they get going. The water is still probably pretty cold over there so if you're finding it's too cold for them to be shallow or in structure like tree tops, then fish deeper along bulkheads back in those canals. Bump around on docks and bulkheads and you'll find them.

That being said, bring beer just in case hah. Tfunk is tough fishing.

Lived here all my life and have never had any success in the river.

Freeze killed them all.

People ain't too open about their fishing spots. Especially on a public forum.

I would highly suggest fishing for them over the next two weeks when the high water from the last rain recedes. I have had two good trips and a friend that has been tearing them up the last 1.5 weeks.

While I refuse to go into detail here, trust me they are there right now. 20/morning is very easy right now except for the high water, give it a few days and let the cold front get through.

Talking Sac a lait ala crappie. They are in the water, were catching them in 18" of water before the rain and front. Will take a few days to get good again.

caught some huge catfish and gar in the river
also a paddlefish

I hit a manatee with a 2x4 once in the river. Much bigger and slower than I thought they'd be
