[weedeater]

[Micah]

Went Saturday and was really slow. My buddy went back yesterday afternoon and only got 1. Didn't hear anything good from anyone out there either.

[BigChaf]

[BigChaf]

i dont understand what some guys are thinkin, i ran a good bit friday and never had a prob out there, just got to use your head alittle on where you run if you cant tell how deep it is

Me and a buddy kayaked it Sat. and caught 10. We went this morning in boat with trolling motor in unit D again and caught 6 before the wind picked up. All you can fish is the outer canal the middle is only about 1 foot deep except by the island. Sat if I would have brought in every fish I hooked I would have limited out but I missed at least 8 to 10 fish that just spit my Hook. :pissed:

What were yall catchin em on

[tgsx750f2000]

What were yall catchin em on

baby brushhog watermelon red and 4 inch lizard watermelon seed. bouncing it slow off the bottom.

I agree with tgsx. I fished the lil north and big north ponds. The big north pond is stupid low. I did find an area covered with gar, carp, gators and a few nice bass. The water temp is well over 73 degrees. I really feel the fish had mostly already spawned before the refuge had opened. I caught my fish on a Bass Kandi speed bug in watermelon gold. I even caught fish on a crank bait in the canals.

[weedeater]

i will be out there the next 2-3 days to give it another try, plan on spendin lots of time and lots of gas money and try to cover some water. any reports on the east pond, never fished that side but was thinkin of spend alittle time tryin it

Rumors are that the game wardens stuck a boat with a 70 horse mudbuddy in the trail going to the blue grove area.

[weedeater]

now thats pretty funny rite there, i dont care who you are

[DUCKGOGETTER]

That's what my buddy from work told me. He said it took a airboat to get them back to the canal.

Seen an airboat pulling up to the launch this past saturday around 2:00pm, wonder if thats where he was headed.

[DUCKGOGETTER]

It was saturday afternoon when it happened.

[DUCKGOGETTER]

He also told me he talked to some gamewardens when they were leaving, and they told them it's gonna take one hell of a rain to put water in there. They also told him come by the end of april if we don't get no rain that the marsh will be bone dry, and not to be suprised if they don't close it. That's coming from my buddy and the guy he was with that spoke with the gamewardens.

The Federal Numbskulls that manage the Refuge are the reason its in poor shape, oh lets drain the Pool so we can burn the vegetation for the waterfowl, the lacassine pool could be the Premier Fishing Spot in the south if they would leave it alone, spend our tax dollars wisely, install a fresh water well and pump in water, idiots, thats all I have to say about that!!!!!!

[DUCKGOGETTER]

I agree they spent all kinds of tax payers money for nothing! Them pumps haven't ran since they were installed. I believe if that place was ran right the state record would come out of there imo.

[weedeater]

well if its true that they shocked 15lb there aint no tellin whata in there, it kinda loooks like the same person that makes the calls on the pool does on toledo bend and that place would be even hotter if left alone

[BigChaf]

They sure spent a lot of money stocking it with Florida Bass and other species, to let it just dry up, waterfowl and other birds won't stop either at Lacassine Desert.

[Ray]

I hunted in the pool after Hurricane Andrew. We had to use a small aluminum boat with a 5 hp Go-Devil. No outboards could run except in the main ditches.

[Ray]

Just remember this place is a bird sanctuary (sp). The fishing in there is a bonus. Never was designed to be just a fishing place

When I gator hunted in there, the woman that ran the refuge thought more of the fishermen than the hunters.
She hated hunters, but they had to open it for gators cause there were so many. In 6 years, I saw 2 nutria, 0 Muskrats and Otters.
Some gators were 6' long and only weighed 45 lbs. There was nothing for them to eat except each other.

[weedeater]

just got in from the pool and boy was it ever windy which also kept the traffic down so not as muddy. we boated little over 10 with biggest goin around 5lb and another tagged bass. seems the few brave idiots (me included) were all doin bout the same hideing and picken up a few here and there

[cajun]

If it was built for just a bird sanctuary why did they install rollers on the original levees? They also allow duck hunting south of the intracoastal.

[Raymond]

Laccasine's management is probably the worst of all our federal reserves! The Feds don't want the hunters or fishermen out there because it causes work for them and federal employees dread work!

[toodeep]

to bad you cant hunt where you fish. d
