Big Lake Tomorrow
 

Heading to Big Lake tomorrow (2-18-14) afternoon any reports? trying to find some reds possible specks...will post report tomorrow. Thanks for any help.

If you looking for reds fish the pipe gates behind the weirs fish outgoing tide they are thick rite now had 3 man limit yesterday in about 15 minutes

Behind weirs is best bet. Afternoon will be very windy. Only trout bite is in early AM when wind is slack. I'll be wading tomorrow AM

Thank you, so theres no real trout bite in afternoon...damn. But i will try out side the weirs i don't want to go back there in a fiberglass boat, not that brave! LOL.
Good Luck in the AM Brandon

How big is your boat? I've seen haynies back there ;).
I've personally fit a 2110 nautic back there no prob.

22.5 Epic Center Console... I put my old boat (18 Ft ranger Bass Boat) back there multiple times last year but new boat and a 100" front beam has me hesitant.

I run a 24' bluewave behind the weirs. No problem getting in and out

It's to risky for me. I attempted to go in when i had my 17ft boat 1 time! I chickened out threw it in reverse lol! The water was rushing inside the weir. Definitely Not going in my new boat.:cool:

Ive heard that a few people have busted holes or tore up the side of their fiber glass boat trying to get back there :eek::eek::eek:

Just gotta stay on it. I haven't taken my new boat back there but I prolly would. 99" beam.

You couldn't pay me to pass a brand new bay boat through them weirs. A redfish is not that important.

Sorry to hijack this thread but, how do you like that epic?

my thoughts exactly... I went through there in my old kenner, but I havent even thought about going through in the triton. 102" beam and 120" opening, no thanks

Yes it's very risky not a lot of room to play and I don't want to mess up a brand new boat. Not gonna try. Worse comes to worse tight line the outside of the weirs.

As far as the boat goes, it is by far one of the best all around boats I've fished in. Can handle it's own in rough water and it doesn't get wind blown much. I got a 175 behind it could have gone bigger but I am very satisfied with the way the boat handles. Have no complaints! I strongly recommend the boat to whoever is looking for a bay or outside the pass boat. Very well priced for everything you are getting!

Last 2 trips I have been on the past 2 Sundays I have done very well on trout in the afternoons.

That EPIC boat you have is it Red? I was checking one out Keith and them were working on at Superior the other day. Thing was sweet!

Wind was kicking today poor day fishing. Had to call it quits early cause of engine trouble. Big thanks to the Sheriff lol.

My boat is blue with a white Suzuki 175 4 stroke . If you ever see me come say hey. Your more then welcome to check it out.

He's towed me in a few times over the years.

I figured it would have been dead calm on the lake this am with all that fog.

I was wearing the yellow shirt was doing a patrol with Donnie Royer and Donnie said *** are these guys doing fishing in the middle of the ship channel... I said I don't think there fishing.. Nice looking boat! Glad we could assist!

ChrisD, I bet you've seen stranger things then people fishing the middle of the ship channel.

Chris, I really appreciate it again! Tell Donnie thanks as well.

I need to learn the lake better but I'm hoping this year is better then last for me

Post a pic of the epic 22 on the salty cajun boat show thread! :cool::D

Only managed 2 trout and 6 reds wade fishing today. Rough day on the water. Better luck next time!!!

Brandon, I talked to a few guys. One guy and a friend had 20 trout another had 6...I barely had a chance to get my line wet. So if say you did pretty good for the conditions lol.

I do not know how to find the the boat show but when I do I will post a couple pics. As of now I think I got them on here this thread post.

Saw that boat at billys boudin today. Nice looking boat

Damn!! Where did they catch 20 at??? Very nice boat by the way!! Too new for motor problems

yeah rusty had to get me some before I hit the water lol

Brandon I tried to get it out of him but it was like pulling teeth, all I got was on the north end. I wasn't trying to ask for a spot, but a little more help then that. Lol. Oh well. I guess gotta put time in to find them

Haha I can't blame him. I saw about 20 guys wading in deatonville on Saturday, they must be biting to have that many people on top of each other..... but who knows, middle of ship channel would be crowded if word got out that they were biting there

What Sheriff's office did you call Cameron or Calcasieu ???

I actually didn't call them they were just rolling by, it was the Calcasieu. They just so happened to be driving by.

You can call Cameron parish SD

We were headed down to Cameron doing our patrol just happened to run across speck-addict most people call 911 and the dispatcher will contact the marine division, or you can hail the Coast Guard on VHF ch 16. Most people in this area still contact Cameron and Calcasieu Parish Sheriffs Office for assistance because the Coast Guard Station has only been around for about 10 years in this area.
