When Cormier fishes with shiners, he uses 12- or 14-pound-test line and No. 2 gold Tru-Turn hooks. That combination saves him time because, he said, when he gets hung up he can pull hard, the hook will bend and the line won’t break. “I just bend it back and put a shiner on it again,” he said. Cormier’s favorite color combinations for his artificials are black/chartreuse, blue/white and red/white glow (good for cloudy days). He has found that the ideal water temperature for catching sac-a-lait is 65 degrees. Remember, he said, if the water temperature’s in the upper 40s or 50 in the middle of the lake, head for the rocks and the water will be at least three degrees warmer.
Spanish Lake Description
Located near New Iberia this fertile 1,400 acre lake was recently designated as a trophy lake by the La. Wildlife and Fisheries. The slot limit is 16 to 21 inches, making it illegal to take bass measuring at and between those sizes. The creel limit is set at eight, with no more than two bass larger than 21 inches. After extensive work in 1997 the lake was refilled and initially stocked with 348,000 Florida bass fry and fingerlings. This lake holds great promise of producing lunker bass in the next few years.
Spanish Lake is a census-designated place (CDP) in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States. The population was 21,337 at the 2000 census.
