Caddo Lake by Mark Allen: Cold weather has got the fish super active in the Big Cypress Bayou.  My guide trips have been very productive with us catching a mixed bag of fish.  We are catching largemouth, white bass and crappie.  The livescope has been very helpful in helping us stay on the fish.  Our lures of choice have been blade baits, road runners and rooster tails.  The herons and egrets will also guide you to the productive waters because they are going to be around the shad.  My most productive area in the Big Cypress has been from Government Ditch going south all the way to the main lake.
