I dont expect a lot, myself ..but I would like to see how the new 360does in a shallow body of water...and of course, visit with my daughter (and boyfriend) who just turned 21 a week or so ago! The folks at Johnsons basically said the same thing you did...dont expect much with the cold front conditions...

Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses.

There was a definite acclimation period...but, as usual, I adapted to the situation, I mean hey, they are still crappie...actually, I had to pull out my secret weapon to get bit...

Ideally located...my first thought after looking at the paper map. Very interesting people! Good folks...made the trip a real pleasure, and will keep me returning. Older and modest accommodations, clean with linens, and towels, pots pans, etc. Safe and protected...I dont recall ever locking my vehicle, bringing in my Yetis, out of the pickup bed, or locking the lodging door...in fact, John, the dock master, kept my truck keys in his pocket most of the time, after backing the boat down the ramp and launching me. Uncertain has a population of 75 currently, and if anything bad happens, they all come together and straighten it out...interestingly, if you have never been there before (like me), or are from the metro mess (not me) safe/secure would not be your first impression...I got lucky, showed about 4/5 pm, and realized that at the end of the day, is when all the information is shared between fishermen/fisher women and the marina staff...hung around the marina enough to get a good idea of who the people really are, in their own mind! The lake was like traveling g back in time, well except when a bass boat came flying by at full throttle...I even got to see a canoe full of teens flip into the water! Kind of reminded me of taking the girlfriends out canoeing. Glad you asked!

My hats off to you Crapicat. I have spent 3 weekends of the last month on caddo. 1st caught 2 crappie all weekend the next i caught 6 crappie all weekend. last weekend I skipped to do some honey does. I am going this weekend so tell me the secret cause if I don't find more than 5 I'm done. The thing is it's perfect for me to fish. in-laws have a house on the water and I cant catch fish on the lake. makes me want to pull my hair out.

So porkchop, I MAY be able to do better than that...if you got a couch, for me to crash, and I can get a kitchen pass this weekend...I will drag my boat over and SHOW YOU...what I did...where I did it...and most importantly, what I did it with it (it is a new bait that I custom designed and am testing)...my stock of these baits are currently limited to what I have on hand...not only that, but I found some places to fish that I didnt have time to fish, that I am guessing are good spots, as well....we can go fish those areas. Yea, caddo is my kind of lake...I like fishing mostly shallow water, defined as 15 feet or less. That said, I dont know squat about fishing Cyprus trees...and it IS easy to get lost...lol Thank goodness for good electronics and lakemaster, and waterproof maps!

I'm glad they treated you good...when I called to check the place out for you I told them you were a retired dignitary and there may be a few folks kinda hanging around in the shadows.
The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

Not you too Ken... You guys are killing me...my ribs are already sore from laughing at Troy, now you are really hurting me... On the plus side, I did just a little recon, there is a place about a quarter mile down the bayou, that is perfect for you...two little one room cabins, right next to the caf! Best food in town! they served a dang good bacon cheeseburger! Service was slow, cause the place was packed! Imagine having to wait on a table in a town with a total population of 75...just dont make sense...
