King Bayou is a lake in Louisiana, near Catahoula County.
King Bayou is a lake in Catahoula Parish, which makes it sensible to keep the first plan small and easy to judge, which is why I would give one section a fair chance before moving. On a first trip, I would start with one sheltered starting zone and stay there long enough to learn something, because that keeps the day simple while the water is still unfamiliar.
Exact physical measurements are sparse for King Bayou, so I would use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement, which is why I would leave the missing number alone until a reliable source turns up. A better first step is seeing the water for yourself, since that is more useful than pretending a nearby lake has the same dimensions.
King Bayou does not have a strong exact-water species record to build a detailed target list around, so I would avoid copying a species list from a nearby lake, so on the first visit I would let the first catches narrow the plan. I would use a small tackle bag with a small soft plastic and a live-bait option, because one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.
For King Bayou, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one promising section of bank and avoid constant relocation; if the first area is quiet, I would change one thing at a time so I know whether the adjustment helped.
