What hospital is he at? I figure you want to fish pretty close to where he is. There is the calcasieu river and English bayou which are north of lake Charles. There are a few different public places to launch. One under the I-10 bridge, one in Westlake off Smith Ferry Road, one at the Saltwater barrier in Westlake, one on Fitzenreider Road in north Lake Charles, one at White Oak Park in Moss Bluff. One on N Goodman Road on the English Bayou. There are also a few bayous south of lake charles that hold bass and have launches. End of Nelson Road has a launch into Black bayou. Gulf Hwy has 2 launches on the sides of the road out past the airport.
I would suggest launching at the Saltwater Barrier and fishing in that area and north up West Fork. It's pretty close to Lake Charles and you have the chance at a mixed bag, plus the launch is decent and you won't have to worry about anyone messing with your stuff. Some of the other launches listed are a little rougher, launch wise and area wise.
