Lake Calcasieu Fishing

[kerrbow]

I had a thread on Venice La fishing questions and someone mentioned Lake Calcasieu would be a good option. After looking at lots of info on Google, I thought I would ask the real experts, the GS. We think we want to start around Hackberry with a guide and then do our own thing with our boats later own. We would like to target marsh reds primarily and plan Sept to Oct as when to go. Any and all suggestions and advice are much appreciated as always.

I fished Calcasieu last week and we caught tons of small trout. I have fished Calcasieu a few times with my boat and after talking to the guide I am not sure about fishing the marshes…he said the hurricane put a lot of debris out there.

Thanks, I imagine things change dramatically after the storms.

We fished with Trout Mouth Charters and would do it again. We caught speckled trout, red drum, and flounders. He is in Hackberry

It was through Erik Rue at Calcasieu charter service and our guide was Brian(forgot last name) and we had a great trip overall. He was entertaining and put us on the fish. August has been tough and we did pretty good.

Thanks, heard good things about them.

You really have to be careful when fishing the marsh in Louisiana, most of it is considered private unlike Texas navigable waters laws. Lots of reds have been caught this year between lake Charles and Hackberry fishing the rocks along the Calcaseau river near the 210 bridge.

Thanks, would love to catch a mess of 24-28 inch redfish.

I have fished with Troutmouth also. We had a good time got plenty of trout some redfish and flounders. Would recommend them.

Check the size regulations for LA . It's different than Texas. I don't know if Hackberry rod and gun still has the night stalker but that's a fun trip too.

I like Black Lake over there. It's not far out of Hackberry and you can sight cast reds. I've done well there.

I would love to do that, never have. Seen videos is all.
