Lacassine Pool report
 

DON'T GO!!!

On the water at 6:45am and fished till 1pm with ZERO FISH.....Did not even see a bream

Spoke with a biologist at the landing loading the boat and he said they almost scratched seining last week...

He said when the drought last summer forced all the fish in the channels they just ate each other and had no spawn last year


As of 1pm at the check station coming out there was a GRAND TOTAL of 9 Bass caught with the biggest little under 6lbs

Wow.....that's a tragedy that such a great fishery has turned into that.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the update w

WOW I know there will be a lot of heartache going on in the SC fam

That guy said he saw a lot of good fish when they shocked it so the fish are there. Going from zero pressure to a few hundred boats is prob the cause.... I hope

Biologist we talked to said the biggest they saw was little over 7 but 16 total bass on that many shocks...

Going to be a long time......Never fished the POOL and caught nothing

There was not that much boat pressure as we fished by our selves most of the day with out any boats in sight!!..

Guy I fished with is a regular in the pool and he said this is bad..very bad...

NO FISH...Not a tadpole ...nothing ............we did not see A FISH...No Signs of FISH.....

you have 16,000 acres of water now so in a few years it should build back up but this year is a waist

That ant good. At least there's something to look forward to.

A buddy of mine caught a 5.6 that's the only good fish that I have heard of so far.

After seeing it this past November it was pretty clear there wasn't going to be many fish in there. Talked to several people who fish there for years and are always successful at sight fishing. None of them had caught a fish.

Gators gobbled that sheet up in the drought at the end of last year....stick to da speckle fish bru.....

how was water level?

I got a friend and his wife and son went last weekend and did pretty good.
Didn't limit out, but all fish were good sized. They had 10 fish, none under 1.5 lbs.

So we've established something out of this all. Don't believe the interweb

Just have to check it out yourself, a nice ride in the Pool will be good therapy!!!!

So they went when it was closed

Btw...last I heard at 3 30 13 bass

Caught or kept?

You can fish it year round on bank.

Yea 'ol Scott can catch in the pool real well, thats unusual if he doesnt catch..Doliver said wasnt much goin on in Streeters also...

Must have been an evenin bite. After reading these reports coming in and hearing I had to go see for myself. Me and a buddy made a quick trip. Made a drift across the north pond and ended wit 15 nice fish. All caught on houdini flukes. I love this place!!

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.


Warren

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.

Where the **** is rodbender with his fake *** report

Lucy you got some splainin to do!

damn bro you are going hard on that guy! :eek:

x10--get em Micha

c'mon...

Congrats to the dude who caught all the fish sounds like everyone else was struggling

He lied.....

no reports from today???

I just talked to the game wardens for 45mins at Heberts landing ...they were at the pool all day yesterday and he said not a signal boat checked in more that 3 fish......not saying someone is giving false info but I told him a guy said he caught 15 bass....he said well he lied to the wardens when he left because 15 bass were not caught all day according to WLF paperwork this morning



Also anyone who is caught fishing behind the weir signs ...the fines have increased from what I'm hearing

They don't call him Top Dawg for nothing, thats why he caught, cause he is TOP DAWG.
