Chain Pickerel
If you're after Chain Pickerel in Louisiana, Baton Rouge provides access to some prime habitat in the surrounding swamps and bayous. The Amite River and its backwaters are good starting points. These fish thrive in the dense vegetation and tannin-stained waters typical of the region. The cooler months, from late fall to early spring, are prime time, as the pickerel become more active and move into shallower areas to feed. Use weedless lures and topwater baits to navigate the heavy cover. A lightweight spinning rod and reel with braided line will help you muscle fish out of the thick stuff. Be mindful of alligators and other wildlife while fishing in these areas, and always let someone know where you're going.
