Caddo Lake: When fishing this time of year,you need to get out early and be prepared for the heat. Drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen, and dress for protection from the sun. These tips will help prepare you for a great day on the water. While on my guide trips, we have been fishing from 6-11:30 am. We have been having some great trips. We have been throwing the shad colored jerk minnows by Big Bite baits and the chatterbait when the bass are active on top and around the vegetation. When things slow down, we go to the swimming craw and finesse worms, rigged texas style. Concentrate on fishing the edges of the vegetation as well as the points and intersections around the Big Cypress Bayou.
