Yeah there use to be good fishing in those ponds back in there off of I-10 & Hwy 6. I just haven't been out there in a couple of years, but I bet I still can pull in the big ones. I use to catch "Big" slab crappie and some 4lb-5lb bass out of there. I think there are still fish in there cause I would fish in there a couple months after a big flood and would catch fish. I just stop fishing over there because there was not any where to buy minnows since the bait shop off of South Main closed. There are all types of fish in there from drum, carp and also catfish.
Catfishing is good after a big rain at the dam when the running is water or further down the creeks in the deep holes. Right below the dam there is a pillar that goes across and the catfish sit right there and eat!!!
