Hoping to go fishing this weekend, what do you guys know about Darbonne? I've been out there a few times, but never had any luck.
We used to catch them early and late around the lilly pads in 5-6 ft water this time of year on Pop-R's (I just showed my age). Any popper, torpedo, or spook type lure should work while all of my buddies are using ribbits in the pads. We've been catching them in the oxbows on the Red on white spinner baits with a single colorodo blade and on tequila sunrise curlytail worms. I always had better luck on Darbonne when drinking Miller High Life and bailing our beat up boat with an old coffee can...man those were the days. Now I've got a brand new center-console decked out with the works and I don't think I catch any more fish than out of my old john boat with a 9.9 Johnson (Johnsonrude:icon_wink.

Toss some lures of your choice around the phone pole near the 33 bridge. Go under the bridge (toward spillway) hang immediate right. Go down and fish in front of those blue town houses (I think they were blue). Check your graph for small hump in front of those boat slips.
Further info. will cost.
I'll test this information before I consider the further info.
Been fishing up there 3 or 4 times.....probably landed 2 keepers. Im no pro but it seems to me that it just isnt that great of a bass lake anymore.
Headed out in the morning, let you know what I find.
You're in West Monroe...Why not go to Poverty Point? You have a new lake and the river pretty close by.
Boat's in Calhoun at father-in-law's place. Darbonne is closest. No luck today, only caught one small (3in) bream.
We've been out to Darbonne several times, and not had any luck. We haven't caught anything really worth keeping.
Caught 11 bass over two lbs yesterday on the Red River. Largest at 5 lbs 9 ounces (state registered scales here at the market).I released all but two that I released into hot grease.
Caught the cold front just right. Most ON POP-R TOPWATER BAITS. Silver, red belly with a white, silver bucktail. Just chugged lightly. Try the stumps or bank in 5-6 foot water and tease 'em. Chug, twitch, twitch, pause. Chug, ...... Caught a few on chartreuse spinner but why do that when they're blowing up topwater baits?
