Big lake

[RaginCagin]

Heading down to big lake at the end of the week for the first trip of the year. Does anyone know if the water on the South end and the beach area is clean right now. Thinking about trying this area first. I was thinking about trying to carolina rig some cocahoes near the beach. Any advice on what part of the lake has been the most consistent would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks,

well there is going to be a ton of people on the lake friday and saturday due to trout shootout. south end looked horrible on Tuesday of last week. may have changed since then

Friday.....the south end had ~6" visiability.

The water at Jetties and the beach depend on the wind direction......South usually means muddy. North + maybe ok.

Shrimp boats tend to keep the water a little muddy.

We are going Thursday and it looks like the winds "should" be 8 mph out of the south west. Has anyone fished the beaches lately?

Heading out from the house in the early a.m.. Anybody have advice if I should fish the North lake (Turners area) of south Lake?

[Austin(boatman's son)]

If you want birds hit turners... i havnt been on the lake in a while but i know that this time of the year the fish are off the jetties and along the beach

Yeah south wind is kicking butt right now down here

[Austin(boatman's son)]

then i would fish reefs on the south end of the lake

[RaginCagin]

Thanks fellas. I have oly fished here one time. I typically fish Grand Isle and Cocodrie but I have the day off tomorrow and wanted to fish something a little closer to the house so chose to try Big Lake. We will se what the day brings and hopefully land a few.

DONT FISH MUD BOTTOM!!!!!! you hardly ever catch trout there... unless its under birds. thats a different story

i'd stay north alot calmer. south wind kicking butt= dont fish south end.
