Went and set 4 out on the wharf just to see if it would be worth setting all my Yo-Yo's out on the river, well, i had just baited the 2nd yo-yo when the 1st went off, nice bass, this happened 4 more times (5 bass caught in 30 minutes) I ended up pulling them after i caught 5. Didn't want to use all my shiners, i'll put out all my yo-yo's tomorrow eve.



quick question...any of yall leave yo-yo's overnight????

Instructions?

Instructions?


It basically is a self triggered reel, you pull the string out to desired length and set the "trigger" in on of the grooves, when a fish bites the hook, the trigger slips out of the groove, causing the "yo-yo" to spin (reel the line up) with it spinning, it sets the hook for you.

I love it. You can set em out and by the time you set your last one, you prolly are already hooked up with em.
Instead of having to sit there and hold the rod and wait patiently you can just set some yo-yo's and go do something else.

Some time they are dead when we go check em, but the air/water temp is usually pretty cold, never had one that was spoiled if that's what your asking. Depth of the set is no more than 6 inches, sometimes if the wind is not blowin hard we set em just to where the gills stay wet on the shiner. W/perch will not face down to feed, they always look up. Nights with a little moon or full is the fill your ice chest nights. We bait right before dark, run them a couple hours later, and rebait while we are checking them. As long as we are not tired we run em every couple of hours. Once we get tired we go home get some rest, wake up early, around 7 we try to be there to run em. We won't bait them till the evening. turtles, gar and trash fish will get the shiners more during the day.

Don't mean to steal your thread but also we fish off a deep body of water and fish in about 4 feet of water. A creek runs thru the area, it is about 6-8 feet and it adjoins the river about 300 yards away which is about 25 to 40 feet deep. If you have stumps but no place to tie, get any type or rod and drive it into the stum. (rebar, or the frames from the flower arrangments after a funeral.) Bend it over and wa-la... you have something to tie to. Perch also will look for timber or roots. Catfish loves perch so they need protection. We also catch a few catfish which I don't mind, I likes the catfish, as long as they are cleaned right. NO RED MEAT! Thats what will make you get up from the table. Trim it off and cut the belly out. Unless it is an op, belly meat is good.

We mainly have one DEEP river channel, and cypress banks running along side of it. Plenty of cypress knees/tress, Guess i'll have to try the bend rebar and stick it in the bank or stump. Only thing I worry about is ppl stealing em. I try to cover the front halfway with moss, so it's not so obvious..Might consider painting em black and just tying a orange marker 3 trees down so i know its in the area

Not sure where you are Fool, Calcasieu , houston river ... Moss bluff has a couple of marshes. One between Westlake and Mossbluff off Perkins Ferry the other at the Moss Bluff and Lake Charles Bridge. Also I would think English Bayou should be good. I think that's the one close to Sam Houston under the Bridge before you get to the park?? Been a long time since being there, I get confused. But I would think either of the marshes should be worth trying. I use to pole fishem at the Gulf states ditch at the mouth of the channel, and at the ditch between there and the barrier. Drop a jig to the bottom in spring. Down the latter ditch should be good for yo-yo's. Use to be anyway, lots of brush on both banks, plus it was a dead end narrow ditch. Most people that knows it don't go down it till spring looking for bass.

QUACKHEAD
01-25-2010, 11:11 PM
If there are perch or bass there you'll pull em out Salty. We have used cane in shallow water to have something to tie the yo yo to. It's not rocket science, you don't have to get W involved. anything that you can stick in the mud to hold a fish fight. The yoyo will fight the fish and tire them out in just a few seconds. It's pretty cool if your close to the bank and hear them trip. When the fish starts fighting you can hear the yo yo hitting the side of what ever you tied them to and hear the string as it is going out then in.

Man, when I was young we use to tear the bass and bream up back there. We caught a few white perch and frogs as big as a small dog. That's where I use to hang out in a 14 foot alum with a 6 hp Johnson. No trolling motor back then on my boat. Short handled paddleor a pole. I also learned how to throw a bait caster up in there. That was a few years back.....probley 38 years ago. It hadn't been fresh water that long then. Before that we use to go crabbing at the ferry (where the bridge is now) about 42 years ago.

Every god fearing, whiskey drinking, red blooded American should run yo yo's atleast once in their life. It really is a thrill when their hitting good; they will keep you running in circles if its good. One night we stayed out like 4 hours because they were hitting so fast; as soon as we would get to the end of our string there would be fish at the begenning.

The ditch is on the west side, same as Gulf States Ditch. I was kinda young my self at the time but it seems it was pretty much where the bridge is. I can remember once we crossed it you was on hwy 378. Moss Bluff wasn't much back then, but there was a small hardware store up close to where the High School is but across the road, you could get basic fishing supplies there. There is alot of Marsh land on the Westlake side an either sider of 378. As you are crossing the Bridge to Westlake , if you turn right and follow the road, it use to dead end about 300 yards. We would shoot Wood Ducks roosting late in the evening. On the other side of 378 about where the rope swing (Been there for years)is if you walk thru the woods just a couple hundred feet you will hit a big marsh there aswell. It use to be a good blue gill hole there. The water was about 2-4 feet deep in most of it. The P. ferry road had always been horrible to drive from the time you turned off of 378. It was paved about 1/2 mile then pot holes and mud to the end. The old wooden bridge that crossed the ditch that fed water into that marsh was the only access to get your boat back there. There wasn't many Houses on the road back then and the ones that were was close to 378.

That was the Old Town Road Bridge. Wow, I almost forgot about that one. It was a wooden bridge that was very narrow. 2 cars could cross it each direction but if an 18 wheeler came across it he had it by himself. Fool, we were both right on the Ferry's that crossed. I called my brother and asked him about it. He said there use to be one that went from Smith Ferry Rd in Westlake to Perkins Ferry back in the late 40's thru the late 50's. The road was bad on both sides so they decided to close the one that had gone back and forth and made a better pass at Hwy 378. That was toward the end of the 50's or early 60's. The new ferry was just north of the current bridge about 70 yards. I do remember that it did not use a conventional motor and prop to go back and forth but 2 cables that was used to pull the ferry back and forth. If a boat needed to cross the ferry's path the ferry had to release the tention
on the cable and it would drop the cable to the bottom of the river, once the boat passed the ferry pulled tention back on the cable and would pull itself across again.

Adam, I remember the sign very well. I'll discuss more of the sign when we ever meet. There use to be one on the Moss Bluff side of the new Bridge also when it was put in back in the late 60's or early 70's when ever it was put in.

2ndAmendment, As you probley have figured out I was raised in Westlake. I worked at Olin Chemical till 84. They had a big lay off as did most of the plants. With no work in the area I worked here and there and finally decided to join the Navy. I got very lucky and was accepted into the Bio- Medical repair school. After the Navy I went to work for the VA. 20 years later I'm writing a book on Salty Cajun. lol Lots of cool memories...:D

That was the Old Town Road Bridge. Wow, I almost forgot about that one. It was a wooden bridge that was very narrow. 2 cars could cross it each direction but if an 18 wheeler came across it he had it by himself. Fool, we were both right on the Ferry's that crossed. I called my brother and asked him about it. He said there use to be one that went from Smith Ferry Rd in Westlake to Perkins Ferry back in the late 40's thru the late 50's. The road was bad on both sides so they decided to close the one that had gone back and forth and made a better pass at Hwy 378. That was toward the end of the 50's or early 60's. The new ferry was just north of the current bridge about 70 yards. I do remember that it did not use a conventional motor and prop to go back and forth but 2 cables that was used to pull the ferry back and forth. If a boat needed to cross the ferry's path the ferry had to release the tention
on the cable and it would drop the cable to the bottom of the river, once the boat passed the ferry pulled tention back on the cable and would pull itself across again.

Adam, I remember the sign very well. I'll discuss more of the sign when we ever meet. There use to be one on the Moss Bluff side of the new Bridge also when it was put in back in the late 60's or early 70's when ever it was put in.

2ndAmendment, As you probley have figured out I was raised in Westlake. I worked at Olin Chemical till 84. They had a big lay off as did most of the plants. With no work in the area I worked here and there and finally decided to join the Navy. I got very lucky and was accepted into the Bio- Medical repair school. After the Navy I went to work for the VA. 20 years later I'm writing a book on Salty Cajun. lol Lots of cool memories...:D


My paw paw retired from Olin. Retired a looooooong time ago so not sure if you may have known him or not. His name is Ferdie Vidrine. Anyway, I was raised in Westlake as well.

I knew a Vidrine from school but can't recall the first name.He was also in the Volunteer Fire Dept when I was there. As far as your paw-paw, I don't recall him either, but you never really got to meet people in the other units.

Fool, I think your right, once I left LC area I never turned back. You go to MBHS? Tell the Brad B His Uncle Bryan said hi and wished he was going to Grand Isle with me and his dad next month.

Just a little tip for you yo-yo guys...i used to fish them alot back in the day...they are alot of fun...if you want to keep your fish alive longer especially in the summer months....put a split shot weight about 6" from the yo-yo on the line this will kepp your fish in the water....the smaller ones will be like beef jerky in the morning if they stay out all night......
