Shark Bayou area question

[ahlangle]

With my boat stranded in Bossier Parish due to all the flooding, I can't do much but read the boards.
I was wondering if there was a best time of year to hit the Shark Bayou area?

I've just got a small flat boat with a 15hp, so my options are limited somewhat (closer to launches without getting into open water, etc) but I'd like to check out that area for some reds when I can get back on the water.

Thanks.
