big lake in the morning
 

Headed to lake in the morning. anybody went today? how was the water. I been on vacation and haven't been in 2 weeks. any reports from today on the conditions would be appreciated:help::help:

Stained to muddy water...no one I talked to including me and my bud caught specs...we did manage to boat 7 nice size reds beatin the banks on the south end of big lake. Believe me when I say we tried everything for specs (croakers!!!):eek:

caught about 6 trout in west cove water was terrible

?
 

are the croakers moving up into all the coves pretty thick now?

seems like the trout are in another transition period.....going deeper

well bad or good im going i been dying to go all week (maybe it will magically clear up overnight)

It can do that with these tides lately

ill be out there in the morn too havent been since the shootout. on my long off now so ill be hittin the lake up

trout
 

Big trout was slow, but we caught 45 pickles under birds wed. best bite is from
11-3 after that seems to be zero tide.

well the wind sure does suck but we managed to get a few good sized trout and a couple of reds. water clarity was horrible guess from the wind. Only fished the south end west cove and jetties. guess with the wind and mud we was lucky to get these.

:)Not bad at all considering the conditions!!

good mess of fish.

Bruce Dont mess with my comments......

you eat croakers???

oh im proud it filled up a gal bag to the top with out the reds.. hey i will settle for that any day of the week

well he got thrown in the box by my brother in law so i fileted him. when i fry them i will tell you. The meat looked pretty though!

No big lake for me to far of a run one day i'll make it. But for now cocodrie made quick trip this morning with the wifey and son 7 reds 1 flonder. No tide could not buy a speck this morning . Attachment 1843

All this talk of dirty water in Big Lake, must be coming from the wind and lots of boats.

I was fishing up near I-210 bridge on Thursday and the water is nice up there.....about 8" to 12" visiability. Salinity is about 6 ppm but tasted more like 3 ppm.

don't know about north i stayed south but it was muddy. the cleanest i seen was on the north side of the island in west cove and it still wasn't that clear

the calcasieu river is clear. Well the west fork, you can see at least a foot down if not more

its bout 3 ft visibilty right now when sun is up on the west fork.
