Basin dropping
 

Looks like the water is starting to drop, anyone gonna be out there this weekend? I'll be there sat afternoon

We'll be out there. Hopefully the weather holds out and the fish are hungry!!

Good luck guys!! I've always wanted to fish the basin, but just don't know how.

My spots don't get right till its 10 foot and under at butte la rose...good luck let us know how it looks.

It's at 11.56 at the pontoon bridge

On noaa its still at 14 and steady

There is a separate gauge at the Butte la Rose landing and Pontoon bridge. Most people are referring to Butte la Rose when looking at levels. Should be at least a week before a good fall starts happening. The Mississippi is falling up north so that's a good sign.

yup.. http://dnr.louisiana.gov/index.cfm?m...id=273&nid=276

it looks like it isnt rising anymore so i think the fishing will def start turn back on this weekend... it should be worth the trip

.

Heading to Lake Verrett This weekend. Will be a few weeks before my spots at Henderson are good.

Speaking of Henderson, are they still having trouble with the matted hydrilla at the I-10 landing? A few weeks ago your couldn't launch at either the between the bridge public launch or Kern's landing because they were both choked off.

Jordan

Hydrilla or Hyacinths?

Hyacinths were horrible last Friday when I went. They are everywheres.

different
 

wonder why the two sights are different they are supposed to be using the same gauges

http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydro...0,7,8,2,9,15,6

prolly cause the one i used is from the pontoon bridge right there by butte. the other one i think is on the river

Hyacinths were very vey bad all up and down the bridge yesterday when i went over

Just drove over. West side is Packed with lillies east side and launch is clear.

oookkk
 

cool

Gonna be a terrible year for Lilly's with the mild winter we had. I hope the start spraying early and often. Anybody hearing if the crawfish are starting in the basin yet? This water dropping and warm weather should kick em on.

Just got back from the Landing and with all the south winds we have been having all week has moved what is left of the lillies to the north end of Kern's pit. The boat launch is clean and the boulevard is wide open. The cut on the north end by I-10 is O.K. but you have to deal with the lillies but some boats are going out that way. It should be a beautiful weekend
