Prien area 11-2-12
 

I have been doing some hunting and I have not been on the water in a few weeks so it was good to wet a line again.

I started off in Lake Charles along with about a dozen other boats. Caught a couple dink trout before moving over to the deeper water in the east side of the lake. I caught another small white trout before catching a 16" speck. There was some fog in the area and it really started rolling in about 8:15 AM. By 8:30 AM it was so thick I could bairly see a boat 150 yds. away.

The fog finally cleared up by 10 AM and I headed down towards Prien area. I had tried a variety of soft plasic and all caught fish but only had 1 Trout in the ice chest. The water in Lake Charles is very clear [2' visability] and along the river it is 12" -18". The winds were calm until late morning and by afternoon were 10 mph.

I fished a flat area using a Char Swimming mullet gulp hoping to catch a flounder or two. Instead I caught 6 trout, with 2 going over 20" and finally caught 1 flounder. All these fish were caught dragging the bait along the bottom.

I tried a couple other spots with no luck so I decided to put on a spinner bait and catch some Red's. The Red's really liked my homemade bait with a big Char color blade. I caught a limit of Red's [biggest was 24"] and another 5 that were undersize.

Finished the day with 5 Reds, 8 Trout and a flounder. Half of the big red was our supper last night.

Hell yeah

Didn't see you Gerald. We fished there too.
We only caught 1 in Prien. The rest were caught in Lake Charles.
When the fog set in, the fish stopped biting.
We changed up baits a few times, but still didn't catch anything.
We finished up around 10 am or so.

I think I saw you before you headed back toward Prien. Cranked up about 10:10 AM while in the channel near 122??? I was ~ .5 miles away so was not sure.

I was in the SW area starting about 7:30 AM and caught 2 small trout.

That was prolly me. I thought we left for Prien before 10.
We fished Prien and went back to LC, then on the trailer before 10:30.
We had the fished cleaned at my house before 11.
When we left LC, it was still clear. But by the time we got to 210, it was thick.

Nice catch mr gerald
