Calcasieu new guy

[Derek G]

I'm fairly new to fishing the Calcasieu River. Fished it pretty heavy this past summer and did well. Usually launch at Theriot Rd but have fished with buddy near White Oak park launch in the past. I've been tuned into the forum for little while now but haven't chimed in much as of yet.

Fished Calcasieu yesterday with NO luck at all. Started at mouth of west fork headed west, then near 171 bridge, watermelon bay and back up the west fork. We threw everything we had at em and nothing.. Read the recent posts and we fished with what you guys said was catching fish. Not sure what we did or didn't do right, lol.

Any advice for a new guy is welcome.
