Great Trip to Calcasieu Point

We had 4 of us from LKFC in Lafayette- me, Robert, Luke and Mitch-meet up at the Rayne McDonald's at 5 AM. We headed to Lake Charlesand met with BJ at the Calcasieu Pt Landing. We were all preparedfor the cold weather but in reality we were peeling off clothing w/in30 mins. Winds stayed fairly calm most of the morning and it wasquite comfortable. Water looked decent considering the 20-30 ktwinds the day before.

We all headed south from the point and poundedthe banks and drop off in the channel. Luke and BJ focused on asmall bay towards Turners Bay. Water was very low throughout due tothe previous day's winds and tide.

We all caught some quality fish and had a great time-Robert- 3 reds, 1 BlackBJ- 5 RedsLuke- 2 Reds, 1 DOORMAT FlounderMitch- 4 Reds, 1 blackieGreg- 4 Trout, 2 RedsLuke's flounder was one of the biggest I've seen in a while. Wecaught mostly on gulp and endura shrimp, purple cocahoes, and liveshrimp. Overall I thought the spot is great and Ithink everyoneagreed we would like to get back to the area soon. Within a 4 milepaddle there are plenty of opportunities to fish marsh, drop offs,open water and small bays. Thank you BJ for showing us the area. Let's do it again soon.
