Fresh Lake Calcasieu Fishing Reports

No group is to large for us. If your party is bigger than 4 we can accommodate more boats like we have with this group of people. We started off by oicking them up at 6:30 am at the marina at golden nugget. After we set off we went to chase trout and as soon as we stopped one guy started catching them before i could get the other two guys set up. The other boat went into the bay and started to catch trout and redfish. After the bite slowed down we changed gears and went looking for hungry redfish. We caught then from sight fishing to beating the bank. Also broke off on a couple dinosaurs that had so much power they didnt want to be caught. It was a great days for both boats many throw backs but kept enough to bring home!

I took a some friends out to see if we could go find the dinosaur swimming around. After a few spots we found a few swimming around with many undersized redfish. No fish were kept this day we just went scout.

They had me for two days and those two days we had a front pop up and brought strong southeast winds the fish day the winds were blowing around 18 with 25 gust. But we found a cove with cover and started right off the back catching keeper trout but they were all thrown back to swim another day. While still catching trout I positioned them if they still wanted to catch trout they could or throw the grass lines and catch redfish. Most the redfish we caught the first day was undersized. But still kept a few trout and sheepshead after a while. As for the second day i asked them if they wanted to go catch big reds and the only bad part is we had to cut across the lake where it would be calmer water waiting for us. But it was going to be choppy going and coming back. So after they decided we made our trek over there it was a bumpy ride but after we got to the spots the fish were waiting on us. Cast after cast they caught redfish, trout, and black drum. It paid off but with 15SSE winds on second day and hard out going tide made for sometimes 3ft swells just cutting back across lake. Overall great boxes for both days i dont have pic of first day but for the conditions they did great!

Started off morning catching trout cast after cast but caught a ton of undersized then once the bite shifted we changed gears and went to target redfish and sheepshead with some black drum. Everything was caught on plastics and live shrimp.

Started off the morning looking for trout the bite was a little slow after we caught a handful of keepers changed gears to chase redfish. The redfish were waiting for us to throw live shrimp at them. They didn’t hesitate on eating them. Also threw plastics at them and they were munching. Also found the sheepshead hole with a bonus flounder.

They wanted redfish and flounder but we got both with some bonus fish like a 9 lb triple tail, flounder, and sheepshead. When we were going to a spot I always try to cruise areas where tripletails might be. As soon as I spotted one I got them setup for the perfect chance and coached them how to catch one. They can be tricky but we got the jon done it was an epic fight. They can fight just as hard as a redfish. But overall great day
