I fished the lake with my buddy Kevin on July 12th, from about 8 AM to about 5 PM, and for the first several hours, it was a grind, with only 1 bite. However, after that, we were able to find the bass dropshotting the pilings on the bridge and were able to catch 10 or 12 pretty quickly in the last little bit of the day, with our best 5 being somewhere around the 13 or 14 pound mark and catching several good 3+ pound fish. It was sunny and hot, with outside temperatures being almost 100 degrees and water temperatures in the high 80's. The water clarity ranged from 1 to 1.5 feet of visibility lakewide, and we caught our fish anywhere from 12-20 feet deep. The bite on Bois D'Arc is tough right now, but they are still there and still need to eat! Get out there and get after it!

I fished the lake on Sunday, July 7th with my tournament partner Iain for the very first tournament ever held on the lake. It was a hot and still day, with sunny skies and daytime temperatures over 95 degrees, and a steady northwest wind at about 8 mph. The water clarity lakewide was about a foot to a foot and a half of visibility. We spent the day targeting fish in 3-6 feet of water in the morning and 8-20 feet of water as the day went on with a drop shot and a neko rig on bridge pilings on the shaded side. We finished the day with a limit of under 16 inch keepers for 8.63 pounds which got us 8th place in the tournament. We also managed to catch several good over sized fish, including a 3.50 pounder and a 4.05 pounder, and we caught around 25 fish in total! All in all it was a great day on the water and the lake is fishing great if you can find areas where the fish are grouped up, but there is a lot of dead water on the lake, so get behind those graph screens and get to finding them!
