Pike, come on man!

Caught some sacaulait there last week. They tasted just like the white perch I eat in north Louisiana:)

Ratdog, i heard they trolling for Marlin and Tuna. Also heard they had some GAG grouper in there the other day.

Gators.....and some fish too

rat dog the best way to catch fish in there is to wade with a big topwater. Get a topwater that makes a lot of noise and just walk out there you will fill up the ice chest.

Yea they dont have gators there. ( pffffft) please go

:funny:

Rat....All the fish like to hang around the gators. Wade and sneak up to the gators from behind cause they can't hear ya coming and cast around they tail with some cocohoe menoos. Talk about get ya excited. Let me know when you go and I can bring my home video camera and you can be the star of the show. "Rat Dog Gone Wild"!!!:smokin:

All kidding aside just go in der HillBilly hand fishin style....cant go wrong

Will da water police get me if I get a tater who is trying to get me
I mean it's self defense
I eat him

How is the Nutria population? Is it as large as it was back 20 years ago. It was stupid with them..... and very noisy in the spring time.

They are gone.....I killed over 200 of them when they first started paying.

they are gone the 10ft gators got what montauk didn't.

Has the grass come back I know it had dissapeared awhile back? I last fished that lake in the late 90s

They keep the lake sprayed.....its clear for the most part. Still have areas with lillys and duck weed but no hydrilla.

Yeah you right that lake is out of control with gators. They have some pushing 14 foot.

Lake Martin is an old spring fed lake. Now only rain controls the water level...There are no muddy bayous flowing into it to muddy up the water and affect the taste of the fish in the lake. That may be why people find the fish from Lake Martin to taste better then the Basin......

I was told that the spring is a little north of the boat launch and out in the middle of the lake.

There was always too much grass in the lake when I fished there to ever find where the spring was located. Does anyone know where it is located?

LDWF sprays the lake for water hyacinth and common salvinia. Hydrilla was the 'grass' that was in the lake years ago. Grass carp were placed in there in order to remove it. They will not eat the floating vegetation though. Fortunately, this body of water is small enough where managing these invasives is still feasible. Likely, it will never be eradicated, but can be maintained so that people can still fish and boat on the lake. Salvinia = the devil and I see it more and more in our bodies of water:redface:

Martin was good for bass sat mostly on wacky worms next to wood....cypress, dead stupps, laydowns.....even caught a few on the levee

Thats a real report....no jokes

PM me if you need more details

Cool might try for sac will see.
