Be careful running the bayou out from Spicer ' s to the ship channel. Might be a good idea to follow someone out the first time

That time of year the weirs for reds would be a slam dunk but leave early. For trout turners will be doing well, you should have some birds working early until the crazy folks run all of them off.

Go east from Spicer's and follow the left bank. The bayou makes a left turn after you head out. Then the bayou goes north some and makes a big half circle before coming out to the ship channel [Calcasieu river]. The water inside the "circle" is very shallow. |

I've heard that the weirs are productive. Are they good most anytime or just when water coming through? Also when you say birds working are you talking about diving into the water feeding or what. I'm using power pro line, do I need a florocarbon leader and if so how much and what strength would you recommend. |

Check out joes cove if it isn't a hard north wind. The mouth on the cove side of the south cut might get you trout n reds . Also the bayou across joes from second cut should have reds n flounder. Birds may be pickin . I stress if it's a hard north wind that reef is shallow so be very cautious. Good luck

Thanks again. I need to learn the names of all these coves. Is there a map I can get that may list them.

There is a hook and line map that you can find at any bait shop in the area. It has all of the reefs and gps coordinates for them. The only thing I would worry about running into in the Lake itself are the old jetties on the southwest corner of the lake. There may be some other spots but I don't know about them. Also it does get shallow at some points when entering the lake from the ship channel. West Cove is a different story. Its shallow in there. But if your in the middle of the lake there isn't much to worry about.
