So I caught a 10lb drum fishing for bass. Great day on Bois D'Arc!

Bois D’Arc Fishing Report May 7th, 2024.

Fishing was tougher than normal. 3 of us fished the banks all morning and came up almost empty (2-6' of water). We did however catch everything but a bass. See pics. After lunch we changed things up and found some bass in brush piles in deeper water thanks to an amazing guy (@Earnest Vance) that motioned us over. He had caught 20 in this one spot. He told us he was leaving and we should fish it. Our first 2 casts we landed doubles and proceeded to catch another 20 bass from that spot. We tried fishing 100 yards before it and after it and nothing. It was just in that spot that was maybe 25’ wide. After that we left and fished the same depth north/west of the bridge and found more bass. We ended up catching almost 40 bass after lunch. They moved to 8-15’ of water. Soft plastic creaturebaits did the trick. (blue craw) Crazy day of fishing. See the 10lber I caught in the pictures 😆

You’re going to make it in the YouTube world with a title like that

Looks like a fun day on the water

It was quite an amazing day on the water...I thought that drum was a bass...it was pulling drag a ton...when it didn't come to the surface.
I saw it on active target. It was swimming towards the boat at the top of the water column. I thought it was a huge bass. I casted that creature bait and swam it next to him. He bit it. I set the hook and line started peeling. I thought I caught the lake record bass 😆…till he didn’t jump. Fun fight either way.

I've caught that same 10 pounder on Cooper. Didn't know they'd get that big.

Mr.McGoo gets big! Real big some places

Yep heard a guide caught a 10lber bass in last few days there.

A remember when Naconiche opened a dude caught a DD under the bridge.

They get a lot bigger than that!

I can’t believe you even wasted screen time taking a picture of it!

Cooper has some monster Goo!! I’m jealous of Ken A’s monster Fork Goo though. That sucker was huge!!!

They make some of the best catfish bait there is, cut up into one inch chunks.

Plus you “caught” all of us! “Set the hook” cus we all bit. And not even April 1st! Well played.

Incredible lake!

you saying hes lieing ?

Just curious on if the lake is safe to run or full of stumps. Where is the boat ramp located? trying to go sometime next week⁹
