Lake Cataouatche
 

Has anyone ever fished this lake me and some friends were thinking of taking a trip heard there are some big bass in there any input would be appreciated.

Good Luck.

The grass has not grown to where it's matted over like years past. There's one small patch of grass in the middle of the tanks ponds right now. The fish have been scattered out chasing bait so you'll have to stick and move.

Be careful not to run past the wall on plane. The water has been low with the north winds and the tank pond is full of stumps.

KVD won the bassmasters classic fishing it. They catch nice sac aux lait out of there too.

Is the Pier 90 launch open?

I've fished it a few times, the reports are nothing like they were the last two years.

Its not an easy place to fish for me. Some people have good luck back there, but i have never had a very successful trip. Tnere are some big fish in there, but since they spayed the grass the fishing has slowed down. Where are you planning on launching from?

It's kinda hit or miss to me. First time I went there about 5-6 years ago we killed the bass in the middle of the summer in the grass. That was my best trip. I didn't go last year b/c I figured the pressure would be even worse after KVD won the classic there. During the spawn there is incredible pressure on the fish. There will be 50 + boats behind the walls in the tank ponds and it's not that big of an area. Spawn is about over though so the pressure should drop off.

I like to go in the summer, punching the grass!

while there try the gulf canel's. Its in the northwest of the lake,I've been pulling some nice ones from there.Best when the wind lay's down and water clear's as the lake has been muddy

Im not sure if pier 90 is open yet, but if you got a big boat those launcehes arnt exactly in the best shape although i have seen worse.

not sure were im gonna launch from gotta be a decent launch though i run a 18 foot triton dont want to mess it up . I guess ill figure it out when we decide to go out there thanks for the input

Pier 90 has opened back up. The new flood gate is open now. Hope you have a 4wd truck. That parking lot gets sloppy after it gets wet.

launch at bayou segnette then, its a dollar per person and that wont be a far run at all in a bass boat

sorry
 

sorry it's between Lake Cataouatche and lake Saldavor , more like the north east side of lake saldavor,Easy access from the state park.

Just to let you know, I should be going this saturday so I will be sure to let you know how we did.

We didnt catch any fish we had 2 boats and fished in the tank ponds, in the lake itself, and in the canal along the restricted area in the wma.

That's cypress canal you can usually do good there fishing those rocks in the openings in the canal

The current was strong and the water was kind of muddy, I had a good time and it was a nice day so im not concerned with what we caught or didnt catch haha.

Hopefully ill be able to learn the area a little better over the summer when im not in Lafayette for school, it dosent really matter though i like to fish no matter what.

Holler at me when you come down if I'm not offshore I can show you around I live 2 minutes from the state park. Not guaranteeing I can put you on fish but I can show you around
