If your boat is a deep V hull, I'd shy away from bringing it. Lots of stumps down in this part if the country. Ask over on DHC and you'll probably get a better answer. I live in NWLA and have a semi-V hull and I'm able to get back in the nasty stuff without worry of thumping too many stumps.
Make sure you bring the ultra lights for crappie or as they call them down here, white perch. Spawn is late this year for the crappie, but looking at warming up this weekend and next week.
www.crappie.com is a good site to check out for updates on what's going down here.
