re: Lake Chicot

There’s big fish in there. Very hard to catch though!

As we were picking up the boat yesterday at the launch, a guy caught 2 big bream at the boat launch under the boat sheds. Looked like he was using crickets and a stopper about 2ft deep

Word out on the street was in about 2010 -2012 or so while LDWF was shocking fish to check the fish population they got two 16lbers and too many 10lbers to count!

I have not been able to prove or disprove this to be true.

I do know that multiple other fisherman had heard the same thing.

It’s the dead sea

I went last year for first time. Got a cabin. For a state park it was amazing. The Wife and I caught a few bass, but mainly was Sac A Lait fishing. We caught plenty. She caught one that was over 2lbs.

My dad's family used to do their family reunion at the state park the weekend of Father's Day. We always got cabins together, Fried fish and barbecued a goat. The fish fry came with fried potatoes, pickles, okra, squash, anything they could batter up and fry. Some of my cousins fished and they said they went frog gigging, but when I went frog gigging with them we just parked on a levee and drank beer. We always had a good time.

That park has some cool boat tours for the kids. My nephews did one where they encountered Confederate soldiers firing muskets on an island. They found a rare frog that the park rangers brought back to their office, and put in their indoor terrarium with reptiles and amphibians. As soon as they put it in there a snake swallowed it. My youngest nephew started crying. They lived in Alaska and weren't used to seeing lots of little critters.
