It's making a comeback. The problem is-everyone there knows it. The traffic has gotten to the point where I just avoid it now. If you go, try a thursday.

decent bass fishing just nothing of size or at least not many

I'm originally from Marksville and have family there. When I read your post i thought about my cousin. He had been telling me I wouldn't understand the traffic it gets now from when we were growing up. Hard to believe for being a small shallow place like that in the middle of no where people would drive from so far to fish it. When we were in high school 3-4 trucks at each of the 2 landings maybe on a Saturday or Sunday was it. He's told me now days your lucky to find a place to park sometimes. Apparently times have changed ... LoL

The best time is February. The black white perch move up early some years and I test it enough to be one of the first ones on them. Once word gets out, I move to Saline and Indian Creek, or fish weekdays when i have business in Marksville.

April is also good because 99% of the boats are still beating the trees. The perch are not there. OTOH, the grass carp have done their job so well there's nothing in the lakes for the schools to hold on.
