Is big lake done?

[Robert Haynes]

I have been coming to Calcasieu about 1 week a year for several years. Since it has been a easy lake to fish, even a guy like me who does not fish much can catch a few. Last year, we fished the first week of November, mainly targeted flounder. We caught so few flounder and trout that we question coming back this year. Was the flounder catch down this last fall or was it just bad fishing on my part?

We rocked the first week of November, but the flounder had not turned on yet, so we targeted bull reds. Limited out all 6 days we fished.

Last year we may have only put 2-3 flounder in my boat at Big Lake. Some years its 50-100.
I did see some good reports recently, hopefully it is better. Flounder is normally our go to confidence fish when we are struggling with trout.
