I just booked my stay for myself and some buddies at Caddo Lake State Park. We reserved a cabin on April 4th, 5th and 6th. We typically go to Fork each year. Needless to say I have never been to Caddo. I have seen pictures and that is it. I was hoping for a little friendly advice. How does it typically fish this time of the year? What should I focus on? Any spots i should hit. This is a 4-5 hour drive for me, so don't worry about me stealing your honey hole. Any and all advise/tips appreciated. I cant wait.

Thank you

I wish I could help but it's on my "To-Fish" list as well... I need to make that happen in the next year or two. I hope you guys have a great time and get pointed in the right direction!

Thanks a lot. I'm excited.

If the water temp is right, they might be stacked up on trees in Pine Island Pond, or Big Lake ( there are a lot of trees). I'm no Caddo expert but black and blue senkos, or tubes work well flipping around the trees when the water temp is right. Also had luck with the frog bite around the pads, or and shad colored rattle traps where the creeks dump into the river. Make sure you take a ride down government ditch, it is my favorite spot on the lake. Also get a map and pay attention to what boat roads you use, there has been grown men who have been on that lake all their life get lost overnight, but they are usually in spots that you could never get a bass boat. I would suggest day renting a house closer to uncertain, and put in at Johnsons ranch or Crips Camp if the water is up to normal. There are some decent cabins at Crips to stay in. I'm just not a fan of the state park, the cabins are way off the water and not close to the boat ramp.

Blk red sweet beaver is all u need. Fish single trees mostly. U can pm me closer that time and I let u know what they doing. I hopped in boat wit Blu-ranger last year to show him around. That's only bait I thee for over a month and caught 9.6

That sounds great! Mudd i will definitely take you up on that offer when it gets closer to that time. I probably should have did a little research when booking the cabin, i just panicked when the first couple of weekends i wanted were booked up.

I would put a Horny Toad on and go to chunking until your arm falls off!

I love frog fishing! that would be awesome!

Sounds good. Frog fishing isn't too great around then usually.

Yeah, but if I see any Lillie's, it will be pretty tempting!

Get mudd in your boat, let him run the trolling motor, fish what he tells you to, net his big fish

I know how I'm fishing Caddo next Spring

Braid and super hooks. All I'm going to say.

I stayed in a cabin last year for a week at Shady Glade Resort.

Great Folks, good boat ramp, boat slips available, Cafe on site.
Highly recommend them!

When I lived in Shreveport I fished Caddo almost every weekend. It's a great lake to fish and it's one of the most beautiful places in the world! This time of year a 10" - 12" black-red flake worm, pitched to the base of single cypress trees will get your arm broken. Fish the single trees around Potters Point and Big Green Brake. I wish I was going!

Feel free to give me a holler, also. If I can help just give me a call. Check out my website. Fishing will be awesome then, if you know where to be at.....
