Alligator Bayou is a lake in Louisiana, near Madison County.
Anglers looking at Madison Parish will find Alligator Bayou, a lake. I would give one easy-to-read starting zone a fair chance before making a bigger move, because I would rather understand one section than skim the whole place.
Alligator Bayou does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, and I would rather use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement. I would start by looking at the immediate area before making a long run, because there is no reason to guess at depth or acreage just to make the trip sound more certain.
Public fish information for Alligator Bayou is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, and I would rather wait for actual catches before specializing the tackle. I would carry a light spinning setup with a few small artificials and a bottom rig, because the second trip can be more specific after you know what is actually there.
If I were seeing Alligator Bayou for the first time, I would work one familiar-looking piece of water with only a few dependable baits; if nothing happens, I would move to a different type of water before changing every lure in the box.
