There is decent fishing around Savannah but just a quick look at reports on Georgia Outdoor News and you can see that it is nowhere even close to being Louisiana.
One of the main reasons we would consider a move is so that I could be closer to my two brothers who remain in Georgia and S.C. Another reason is that my wife can't find a decent job in Deridder and we really need a second income, especially since I will be getting out of the Army reserves in the next year or so.
As an alternative to moving we thought about relocating to Moss Bluff. I have heard there are all kinds of new plants and facilities in Lake Charles that are being built, but I don't know what they are. Can any of you fellas tell me what is happening in Lake Charles in the next year? My wife wouldn't work in a plant unless she could do clerical work. She has 18 years of experience as a legal secretary but that pays chump change up around Derrider.
Thanks for any info you might have on what is going to be happening in Lake Charles.

You will be disappointed with the fishing around Savannah. I keep hearing about all the investment in LC and about how the economy is about to grow, but my wife and I (technical degrees) were not able to find employment in SW LA in spite of looking pretty hard.
If I had a foothold (one spouse employed), I think I would wait it out for a few years and see what opened up. Lake Charles has some of the best fishing in the world and is all around a great place to live and raise a family. I grew up there and my brother is raising his children now. I'd move back for a $50k annual salary.
