No one ever posts up anything that happens under the 1097 bridge. It stays there...period.

It seems to be a hot spot for guides. I fished it once with a buddy and while we were there two different pontoon boats pulled up loaded with people and they started fishing. While the were fishing, the guide started dumping scoops of grain in the water and they were filling the boat up with fish. So, obviously, it's a well baited area and worth checking out. You'll see numbers hand painted on the pilings and ropes attached that have been used to tie off to.

The numbers hand painted on the pilings are an attempt at mis-direction for the naive. The guides have offset pilings from those numbers to move people away from their honey holes. Things you should know.

Yep, we saw them fishing at non-numbered pilings. There aren't that many and a down-imaging sonar should tell you what you want to know.

Nice blue. No one ever catches them 'under' the bridge, that's why you have to stay away from that thing.

FWIW, Carfish are half gar half catfish. Very rare.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

When I fillet 'chummed' channels, whether it's my 'chum' or some other fisherman's 'chummed' channels, the electric filet knife never cuts open that stinkin', foul smellin' belly to infect them prime fillets. Be more careful cleanin your catfish that you pot-licked from someone's chum hole. They taste dang good without soured milo stink bait all over them filets from rippin that belly.

Knows chummed channels.
