Crazy wind need advice.
 

Hey guys, came down to fish Big Lake for a few days. The winds and chop are unreal. Does anybody have any advice on where to catch some fish? Maybe flounder off the bank in channel?

Don't even want to put my boat back in if it stays like this.

Maybe somewhere to run up in the marsh, channel, I don't know. Hate to leave empty handed.

We tried launching out of Hebert's to fish weirs yesterday. Got beat to death. Few rat reds.

Fished west cove today. Went out to the island. North wind had the water blown out so much we couldn't even get close enough to stay out the wind. Gave up

Go north when it's like this.

To where? Up in the calcasieu? Not sure exactly where to go. Really want to get in some fish.

Weather saying for tomorrow 5-7mph east wind. Anybody think that's correct?

Yep should be able to go just about anywhere. Be calm off civic center seawall with that light east. Anyway there are a lot of fish in LC and have been for a couple weeks now.

I trust MEM1971 more than myself so take his advice more than the pm I sent you. He fishes a LOT more than I.

I drove on south Lake Shore Dr. today about 4 pm. [ this is along the south shore of "Lake Charles"] There were seagulls feeding over near where the boat docks are located.


Saturday I drove on I-10 by the beaches on the north shore of Lake Charles and there were seagulls diving in the swimming area...... but this could have been a "Cheerios" event as there were people near by.

You can launch at Prien Lake park and it is only about a 4 mile run to this area.

Thanks to mem we ripped them up this morning!!! Fished lake Charles and chased the birds. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f171406ed4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d7d647f84b.jpg

nice. it don't get much easier fishing than lake Charles. Should of been calm enough to see shrimp jumping without birds. Did yall see any? it was way to windy yesterday for me to see

how did u fish em? etc etc

You prefer fishing LC over Prien? Which would you consider more kayak friendly?

I'm not sure on kayak as I have never tried it. Ive caught more trout out of lake Charles than I have prein but trout don't always go in lake Charles. Salinity has to be up and have to go months with no rain. One big rain storm and trout will be out of lake Charles. I guess to answer ur question on a calm day lake Charles. Just remember there are some really deep holes in lake Charles. I started off catching them in over 30 feet of water

Caught them all on popping cork with gulp shrimp, and 1/8oz jig head with purple and chartreuse down south and silver speck and white swimming mullet.

Water looks great. Thanks for the report.

Both are very kayak friendly as far as ease of launch, but are open water, so susceptible to chop. LC has been good to me lately
