Sac-A-Yak this Saturday!
Our first ever outing will be this Saturday, February 27, at the Cotile Lake Recreation Area. We call it "Sac-A-Yak" with the primary species being what is known as "sacalait" here in Louisiana. Also known as crappie or white perch, the slabs should be bedding along shorelines and shallows. However, schools could still be in the deep water depending on the weather.
For liability purposes, this is -not- a tournament but an outing with the flavor of a tournament. Everyone is welcome to come out and join us, there's NO entry fee and subsequently no prizes. However, an optional calcutta is available for largest bag of five (5) crappie. Entry for the calcutta is $10 and must be done at the registration table prior to fishing.
We'll "weigh in" at noon for calcutta payout and discussion. Then some of us will drive a few hundred yards over to Wards Lakeside Diner for food and beverages and more lively tales and discussion.
For complete details, see our new forum!

Kayak fishing in central Louisiana
There are many reasons to kayak fish. A few include: it's very affordable, it provides access to areas big boats cannot get to, kayaks are easier to transport, they provide a healthy alternative, kayaks are quiet and environmentally friendly. But perhaps the best reason is that they're fun - there's nothing like hooking into a big red or big bass and getting taken for a "Cajun Sleigh Ride".
Is there a better area for freshwater kayak fishing than central Louisiana? We think not. From Lake Concordia west to Toledo Bend, from Chicot Lake north to Caney Lake, there are dozens of waters containing some of the state's largest bass, white perch and bream right here in Cenla. More and more folks in the Cenla area are finding out for themselves and joining the kayak fishing revolution!
That's why we've started Cenla Kayak Anglers. We'll have meetings and outings to share and learn more about paddling, fishing from a canoe or kayak, conservation and aquatic resources. We hope you'll join us. Bookmark this website and check back routinely!
