Can you imagine the pot licking and the pot licking stories that are gonna tke place this weekend on Big Lake...THANK GOD im smart enough not to go. I might show up at the bank with a beer and a smile but no way I wet a hook during this event....perfect setup for somebody to get shot.

potlickers are gunna be at the weirs trying for specs...and then turners bay is gunna be packed with everybody and their mom in it.

If I was forced to go fishing this weekend I think my best bet would be to slide into west cove on a few hot spots I know of that are not on most of the guides GPS's. Other than that I think I would have to stay in the channel tied up drowning shrimp and crabs and drinkin rocky mountain cool-aids while watchin all the idots fly back and forth potlickin like a bunch a biotches

Run around the console....? :*****:

:cry::cry: so mean

its going to have to be a good one think you up to it. Some of the favorite spots got ripped hard yesterday and this morning

the way i look at it, if we go out and have a good time, don't break anything or hurt anybody, i won....

it would be sweet to luck up and catch a big fish, with these conditions it's gonna take a trophy.

boy I know I had to go to LCT today and get a new trolling motor. Havent had to good of luck this week. keep my fingers crossed nothing else goes wrong.:pissed:

all it will take is 5 lbs + if you keep it alive and take advantage of the live bonus! Never fails. Every year someone comes in with a dead 6 lber and gets beat by a 5 lber that was kept alive.

Make sure your livewells are working!!!

How is this possible? :confused:

If you were to catch a big fish early, can you go ahead a weigh it early?
Instead of waiting till 2pm & taking a chance of it dying????????????
Dont they have an hourly big fish?

that would be the smart thing to do, if you catch a 5+ just keep it in livewell and if the bite shuts down haul butt to the scales.

Salty, he meant someone usually beats a dead 6.0 with an alive 5.6

shootout
 

8 oz bounus weight for live fish or is it 8 oz penalty for dead fish?

However you want to look at it.

8 oz bonus for live fish.

Scales open at 8:00 Am

What a load of carp..... :shaking:

Prediction---3 or 5 fish from 5-9 pounds and all the rest will be 12-14" trout with maybe 10-15% being 16-19". My new name for the lake is BIG/Little Lake. Either they are big or small! By the way the 5-9 pounders are nice for pictures but not good to eat. Better yet maybe BIG/Little Lake can be renamed to Big Dink Trout Lake!LOL!

That's precisely why W does not catch 'em......:*****:

Bad Prediction
 

Damn you sounded like my stoke broker with those predictions---

30+ fish weighed in over 5lb's
Top 10 places were all over 6lb.'s

THOSE NUMBERS INDICATE A EXTREMELY BRIGHT FUTURE FOR CALCASIEU


Calcasieu is the best Speckled Trout Estuary- based on #'s & big fish
Matagorda E/W , Baffin Bay, and Corpus Christi Bay have generally bigger fish. But they are NOW so few and far -in-between the majority of the anglers have left for Louisiana Waters- see this first hand every day on Calcasieu. I fished Baffin in 1999 threw 2003 several times a year. There # of big 7+ fish is not even close to Calcasieu, but it does hold the possibilty of a 12+. Almost all those bays I listed have been on a decline the past 5 years while Calcasieu is excelling rapidly-----

Mike NO need to explain!!! the less the better!!!! :*****:

Exspeck thanks for proving my point either you catch a 6 pounder or a 13". Very few fish are caught between 16-21". I agree for catching Big Trout you cannot beat Big Lake but for catching 15 trout out of a 45 trout limit that average 18" not going to happen. Either HOGS or DINKS! My whole point I am trying to make about BiG/Little Lake is you either catch a monster (which is not good to eat) or you catch a 12-13". The biggest trout I ever caught was at Big Lake fishing the north end of Long Point with the big sand eel in the salt and pepper color which right at 6 pounds.

that's not true, lots of mid size trout.....

i made several trips in the spring with a 3 pound average

Today, 10:04 AM


Bruce, why you up so early....ya wet da bed? :confused:

not so true..we have made sevral hauls were there is a 2-4 lb average.

slept from 7 pm to 8 am..........LOL

they wore me out down there
