Lake in south LA with biggest bass

Best? Or biggest?

Biggest would probably be Lacassine.

Best would probably be Gross Savagne.

Carl point lake

If I remember right, there was a MS river diversion that was pumping all kinds of fresh water into it making the fishing great. But it was dropping salinity levels further south and oyster fisherman complained loud enough to get it slowed.

Someone else can correct me if I’m wrong. My brother and I had quite a few awesome trips over there years ago.

Yes, the disappearing vegetation was a big part of the problem. The cause was in dispute. A bunch of the locals claimed that slowing down the diversion caused salinity levels to rise killing off the vegetation. Others said it was from excessive sedimentation from the diversion.

I don’t claim to know what it was. Just vaguely remember all the theories I’ve heard.

Didn’t LDWF stock it with Florida strain bass, too? What a waste.

The diversion flow being cut back and made seasonal was the major factor, Davis Pond is not a sediment diversion though it has built some land. The Florida-strain stocking is what got KVD that big bag record but was just icing on the cake of the river water making it an awesome fishery, which it still would be today had oystermen not bitched and lobbied to have it scaled back. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Heard they have some bigguns off of Bayou Black
