Saturday Prien area report

[ahlangle]

Launched out of Calcasieu Point yesterday around 9am to fish with my girlfriend.
Looked for bait around I-210 and didn't find much, so we ran north to casino area. Caught a few trout and one red, then left when water stopped moving around noon, went back to bridge and caught some bait.
Went back up north and didn't find much, so we ran south and fished til about 3pm. Picked up a couple more trout and two reds.
Water seemed to be moving periodically, strong then slack, and the bite was the same.
Had a great time and learned some things about the area.
Thankful for another day on the water.

Also saw a ton of kayaks and later saw it was a tournament.
I slowed down when I passed them in the channel not wanting to swamp anyone, but didn't see other boats doing this. What is the protocol for that?

The tides4fishing.com has info from the south end of the lake, but how should it be interpreted for the prien/northern area (lag, tide, moon up, moon over, etc)?
