Old River Dam 5/8/12
 

Went to Old River Dam today fished 3 hours. I ended up keeping 17. Lots of little ones thrown back. All were caught on triple tail 2in soft jigs in blue with white tail at 3ft deep. At first I was missing a bunch that were hitting when I popped the cork. I finally switched to a balsa wood tube float. The sacs where picking up the bait and not pulling the float under. When the float would lay flat I would set the hook. I would of like to know how many I could of caught if I would of changed floats 2 hours prior. The water was the black and clear.

Nice pics

nice haul. I wish I knew where to get on some sacs. thats my favorite eating of all fish

Sure glad you got on em buddy.


Eatin ain't cheatin

Man, that 3rd pic is a gem. Serenity at it's finest.

Fishy-lookin', too. :)

They are just about every where. You just have to figure them out. I like fish them cuz they can be the easiest and hardest fish to catch in the same hour. Look they rarely make the freezer at my house.

Its heaven. I rarely see another boat there. 2 boats in the last 4 or 5 trips. You cant get on a plane. I broke my live well in take screen off the boat and popped my transducer loose a few times. A breakaway transducer mount is a necessity. I almost flipped the boat twice today on logs just going at off shore trolling speed. You better have a push pole to get you off of logs and trees that are just inches under the water. It is not a place for fiberglass boats.

What river is that off of

Great pics and thanks for the report

You got me on this location?! Don't know where the heck that is!?! Glad to see you pulling some in the boat. I never really had any good luck catching sacs on the river. I have tried and I just end up bass fishing. If you would ever like a fishing partner I would like to tag along! I would really like to be taught how to figure them out!

Water looks good to fish, Nice

I'm thinking it's the old Sabine River near Bancroft/Merryville.

Shhhhhhhh!

Saute86,

Those are some pretty pics. Congrats on the Sacs.

I live in Deridder, where is Old River Dam, is it off Sabine River?

Sorry, didn't see the previous question.
