Weekend Forecast
 

How good/bad do you think it will be this weekend? Weather is supposed to get a lot better, just curious what your thoughts are on if it's even worth bothering hitting Big Lake over the next few days.

No charts "W"

Calling for some nice ruff winds..

deja vu

I'm goin east and taking my chances around Fourchon... i gotta get some fishin in its been too long

all the reports i have seen over here on the east side say the wind is not going to be that bad and the weather is going to be clear. I am seeing 8 to 9 mph tomorrow getting less and less over the next two days.

Don't waist your time this weekend go plant your wife some flowers!!! I will tell ya how it is Mon!!!

hittin it sometime this weekend. But you wont be finding me. I'll be way back in da marsh not so ruff. might fish monday

i have looked on two different websites for lake charles and both are saying less than 10 mph for the weekend. W i don't want to see the charts again but i am not sure about your predictions.

he's tryin to keep people out of his holes again

that is a shame if it is true

Yall just stay home....:p

Will be giving it my best shot Saturday and Sunday. Work during week, don't have the luxury of picking ideal days. Can only hope for best!:D

:thefinger::thefinger::thefinger:

i wouldn't expect a east side boy to understand this :*****::*****::cry::*****:but whatever they are calling the winds to be, multiple that by 2, and you have your wind on biglake. ;) :p

I agree 100% :thefinger::thefinger::thefinger:

i have heard that the wind does blow pretty hard on big lake. i would think that would mean you were used to it.

:*****::*****::*****: Thats a good one....I hate the wind :pissed::pissed:

the wind drops the fun degree a few notches

i am not disagreeing with that. i hate the wind especially after last weekend.

hard to watch the poppin cork with the rough water

You still want me to get you some poppin' corks? Deadly I tell you, Deadly!!!!:D

You have no idea. Try Breton Sound and Lake Pontchartrain.

Get a bigger cork and fish two foot deeper!!!

Laast time I went to Lake P it called for 5mph winds.............got there and the waves were crashing over sea wall..........I got a beer at the local pub and headed home..........Long drive for nothin..........

nothing like waves comin up the boat launch that is protected from ponch. by a sea wall !!

Well I made the call and I'm fishing on Sunday - just can't stand not too. Can't go very long without potlikin'

i'll prolly be out there sunday as well... alotta people from this site will be on the water... its potlicking tournament !!!!!!

well if you see a blue nautic star with tx tags and a couple of lsu hats bobbin around - don't throw eggs - come say hello.

hopefully w will have my SC stickers sent before then

no... he's slow... we'll find ya... we potlickin fools on the lake..

The best way to enjoy this kind of weather is to tailgate and watch football. I'll be at Tiger stadium doing just that.

Fourchon
 

A tip for anyone that's heading down to fourchon to fish.
As of 10/ 21/09 there was pipe line rerouteing going on and the flotation canal between the texaco canal and the havoline canal was closed to all traffic. There may be other areas around there closed at times.
You can call the harbor patroll in fourchon for updates.
