lol nice catch. After the boat show they turned on

Excellent!!!!!!!!

Nice catch wish I would have stayed stayed till 4pm and scratched.

Nice catch top dawg.....one of my podnas let me borrow his express with a 40 yammy. Gunna give it a shot sunday. Talked to someone I know that went today and caught 8 1-3 pounders on flukes as well.

Damn I'm gald you saw a fish...... What was the final tally today

I don't think so??? Never heard of that rule....

Check Point
 

I was there since yesterday helping prepare for opening day and slept out on the road. As of 4:30pm I had no fish and the folks at the check point said only 2 fish had be reported. The check point where the pavement ends going into Lacassine the one where the 10 state trooper cars created the check point to check insurance, registration, inspection and the one Wildlife office looking in your ice chest said they had seen two fish out of everyone leaving. I don't see how anyone could of fished out there and not seen another boat as there was at least 75 trucks and trailers from what I counted. I went all over that place in some places that you have to a gator tail to get to and still ran into people out there fishing. People where trying hard to fish that is for sure. I will find out the count from the counters at the boat launches that were in place when we pull them. I will be out there tomorrow working as I took today off to fish. Yes there are still fish out there as I saw them when they did the testing. Not in large numbers for sure. What I did notice is there gators were hungry and a little aggressive. I had two come close to my boat and check out by bait. I had one take my coworkers ribbit and break his line. I have never seen that happen in all the years I have been going out there. I saw one eat something but not sure what it grabbed. I did not seen very many turtles either. I saw more turtles 3 weeks ago when we checked water levels. Just my two cents and if your going tomorrow make sure everything you have is in check as they boys in blue will be back again to write more tickets.

nice fish

He said Lacassine. He may have been outside. I seen the heads and guts.

Top dawn did yall show yalls catch to wlf??? My buddy josh left at dark with one bass and said No one had more than 3 fish total..that included bream,catfish,gar and snails

He was not in the POOL...........You can not FISH until March 15th...he must been outside but then again you cant fish any of Laccassine Refuge until 15th...
Dont know

Yea they looked at em. Wlf told us the same thing. I'm wondering if they were just telling everyone this. I don't see why they would. Seems like they would want everyone in there to write tickets.

Just texted his son. They was at Toledo Bend.

Me neither but buddy called wl&f about it a month ago since he heard the rumor and they confirmed it. They fished it that sunday. Hell who knows maybe he just told me that. I'll try and call the department tomorrow for myself.

Final Count
 

Final count for the day:

89 boats checked
17 fish total
11 were kept
None over 12 inches

It should say on the pamphlet and at the entrance to the pool. If you call, you probably would be better off calling the Lacassine or Cameron Prairie office as they regulate the refuge and not the state.

How many tickets written today

thanks for the report, I'm glad I didn't go now!

are those 17 fish including what Spoon Caught?

I know when I left at 300 they told me there was 7 bass caught and I added 1 to that.
