COTEAU HOLMES — State biologists are doing their best to give bass anglers a chance to catch even more 5-pound plus bass in Lake Dauterive-Fausse Pointe, which has given up so many trophy-sized bass the past two years.

Jody David of Ville platte and Martin Plonsky distributed 80,304 Florida bass fingerlings in strategic locations around the lake system during intermittent heavy rains Thursday afternoon. Their two 22-foot long aluminum boats, mostly used for electrofishing projects, each had two 150-gallon tanks that held the baby bass delivered from Natchitoches.
