That place ain’t too far from me,,,
They call it the “sand bar”,,,
Full of kids all the time when it’s hot,,,
It goes from sand bar to about 30’ very quickly,,,
Bossier Parish SO has two boats there to keep folks close
to the bank so they won’t get run over by the boats,,,
A few weeks ago one of the BPSO guys killed a 12’
alligator at the boat launch on the Bossier side,,,
They may have opened lock # 5 to draw down the high water,,,
Lock closed no current,,,
Lock open bad current,,,
I was told at a young age to keep my ass OUT of that river.
A 12 footer that far north huh. Of course they might be swimming upstream in the summer.
They found the other two,,,(the shreveport times)...
Was fishing in the bass boat about 15 years ago and lost the grip on my rod and real and it went overboard. Flipped the wife my wallet and dove in without thinking. Got the rod and real and climbed back into the boat.
Wife was laughing at my dumba$$, looked around to see if any other fisherman saw my little screw-up, that's when I saw a couple of 10 footers about 75 feet away on the opposite bank.
A very good learning experience.
Best lesson to learn it seems.
