Fished Gibbons from 1 to 6PM Sat. Cloud cover, mild winds(finally), temp 70s. Water stained (8"vis) to slightly muddy at creek arms. Pads are just starting to emerge. Hydrilla & water hyacinths beginning to recover. Nutria active. Boated about 15-18 decent LMs largest running about 2.5 - 3 lbs. All bit shallow in/close to avail cover. No clear pattern apparent....assorted plastics on drop shot, tx rig, Carolina as well as a couple more on spinner bait, each produced briefly.

what is nutria?

A large rodent, nearly as large as a beaver but with long, rounded, scaly, ratlike tail; hind feet webbed; incisors orange-colored; female with mammae along each side of back, not on belly; upperparts reddish brown; the underfur dark slaty; tip of muzzle and chin white. External measurements of adults average: total length, 31-40 Inces; tail, 13-15 Inches; hind foot, 5-6 Inches. Total length may reach 4'. Weight, normally 15-25 Pounds.
Their natural food consists almost entirely of aquatic and semiaquatic vegetation, but when these animals live along the coast they also feed upon shellfish. Cattails, reeds, and sedges appear to be especially prized items of food. When established near gardens, they take cabbage readily; they are also fond of carrots and sweet potatoes.

wow...

thanks for the info.

yea it was either a nutria or a beaver
it wouldnt let me get close enough to check out its tail
but im almost positive it was a nutria

*edit*
supposily they are good eatin in cajun country haha

There are no beavers at Gibbons to my knowledge. It was a nasty, large nutria. They started showing up at Gibbons in the late 90's and have never left or been killed off (too bad).

So I guess those beaver looking homes that used to be in the intake, the Nutria build?

Hey guys a buddy of mine said they cut the hot water discharge off? anybody heard of this or is this false?

any hows the crappie doing?

One thing to add, they get really pissed if you hook them with a spinnerbait. But, they sure pull good!

I think a couple of us our heading out tomorrow. Any tips? It'll be my first time there

monarkman, they didn't cut off the discharge.

sealy, throw anything watermelon. white or chartreus spinnerbaits also. If you're wanting specifics, Lake Fort Tackle Magic Shad, 3.5" have been real hot.

Had one today that was near 10 lbs. got it up to the boat and it went under and snapped off.. still ended up with about 20 fish all together..

next time i'll have the net handy

I'm definitely interested in giving Gibbons a try, but I'm short on a boat (my buddy graduated) and I have no idea what to do or where to fish out there...

I went out on Monday and it was my first time there caught two fish one on a chartreuse spinner bait and the other on a Ribbit frog.
Any tips on where to fish and what to use? Maybe gonna try to texas rig the intake next time i heard there was a shelf there
