Crappie/Sac-a-lait/White Perch Guides

I figure we are at or approaching the peak of the season, and I'd like to make a guided trip to put some white meat in the freezer. In Baton Rouge, but willing to travel to where the slabs live, hoping for referrals to some services that specialize

There are some lakes in CENLA that produce good ones, and I'm sure there are some in S. LA. I just don't fish down there.
I fish NWLA. Caddo Lake has a good average size, but the biggest come off the Red River and Toledo.
Living the Dream guide service seems to be the most recommended white perch guide on Toledo.

If you're willing to travel to D'arbonne one of my buddies is a guide. Great crappie lake. Here's a link to his facebook page.

That is a real good lake. I've fished it a handful of times. We did very well, but it was off a hot tip.

I've known Nick since elementary school. He grew up on the lake and still lives on it now. Back in junior high & highschool he had his commercial fishing license and would run slat traps everyday before school. I guarantee you he is in a boat on that lake at least 300 days out of the year. If OP is willing to drive a few hours he'll put him on some crappie.

Is that a chinquapin on the bottom left?
Doesn't seem to have the defined "ear"...

My uncle bought a camp on D'arbonne last year. I cant wait to get up there and get on some white perch with him.

I fished the pearl on the LA side last week and did ok. Was my first trip since last year and brought home 20. No big ones. I threw back anything under 9". Biggest was 12". All caught in 13 feet of water jigging roadrunners off the bottom. Very lite bite.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same fish. I'm talking about the one odd ball in the lower left of the pile.
Eta:
It may be a sac-a-lait, but the color seems way off from the others.

We moved to Farmerville in 1975. I graduated hs in 77, went to LSU, and ended up at ULM when it was NLU. Did a lot of productive fishing below the spillway. Used to run yoyo's out by the Bernice Hwy (from Tiger Dozier's land). Fished all over the lake until I moved to Dallas in 1984.
OP,
They built a nice State Park, with very nice cabins. https://www.crt.state.la.us/louisiana-state-parks/parks/lake-darbonne-state-park/

The yoyo bite is always earlier than the daylight fishing I do.
