Old River Batchelor, LA

[LPfishnTIM]

I fished the red river around there saturday for a couple hours in the evening, it was difficult to fish, caught one on a crank bait, ghost shad 200 series bandit. where do you launch, I know of the landing off hwy15 by the lock.

Have fished many a tournament there. Have fished a many of day there other than tournaments. It can yield some of the finest stringers of bass you've ever laid eyes on! You gotta know the place. You gotta know the river stages also. Have won several tourney's there in the heat of summer. DEEEEEPPPPP!!!!! Just like you said....DD22's or I like a Hildabrant #4 or #5 gold willow leaf & count it down around the houseboats, but better bring a sack full cause you will lose plenty.

take LA 1 past Morganza locks and 1st right take that hwy LA 972. Take you to the Levee for Old River. Take Left and you will see sign for Old River Landing which landing I been using for years and cross the levee. Don't know if Peggy D's which further down is, but I use Old River landing. If you pass hwy 972 there is a convience store next to the feed store in Batchelor. Take right if coming from Baton Rouge and it will take you to the same levee just futher down. Take Right at road next to levee and it will take you past the landing. Website http://oldriverlanding.com/

You went futher down never did much on bass usually catfish.
Now further down at Three rivers LDWLF Management Area has a few good lakes like sunken lake, but its all about river levels.

I love DD22's and found some on sale at Academy in Harahan one day for .88 cents each stocked up. I lose alot, but that lure caught me some fish over the years.
