Lake Charles October

[pricecb]

I'm going to be in Lake Charles in October for business. Ive never fished that area and would like to give it a shot.

Is that a good time of year to try to catch one of those hammers that you guys pull in?

If I go I will be getting a guide.

Great time of year for fishing. To me fall fishing in the big lake area is some of the best in the state. Personally there are other areas I would take over big lake in the summer not that it's bad. There are some areas of the state where the weekend warrior can go out in July and smash trout without the first clue of what they are doing. Big lake is not that place in the summer. However in the fall it is....

Yes, October is one of the best times to fish big lake. You can smash the trout, reds, and flounder! If your planning on hiring a guide, you may want to do it soon.

Its the best time to bring kids to get them hooked on fishing. Weather is great and fishing is easy.

Once I know the dates I will. I'm hoping to fish on a weekday if it is any thing like down here best days to fish are Tuesday to Thursday. If I'm really lucky teal season will be open and that would be some real fun.

October like said above one of the best times to fish...


FYI, If you plan on hiring a guide you really need to get some dates because the good ones will fill up fast...

I know we have only a few days left open in Oct...Its crazy month for fishing, right before big Duck season and right after teal...
Cool weather gets everyone out on the water and flounder run is almost full throttle at this time...
