Great report. Usually lots of spinner sharks around the bay Marchand rigs, they’ll come straight up out of the water like that.

That’s a fine day on the water and a beautiful mess of fish.

Welcome

I’m not as familiar with that area as I once was, but do know that upper sabine and calcasieu basins recently flooded and that runoff will likely still be affecting the salinity and water clarity on 5/17 and beyond. The local guides will be a huge help in finding fish in those conditions. If your going to be on the Sabine NWR side of calcasieu lake, you might check with a Hackberry-based outfit.

I’m pretty sure she’ll remember the day, and the fish, for the rest of her life. Great times.

Search through the LSU Sea Grant website, I think you’ll find what you’re looking for

The GI 40s are usually good for a few red snaps and mangs. Gi 43 to the east can be good too if the sharks give you a break.

Last year I bought the garmin 943xsv for my “outside” boat and am told it’s compatible with standard mapping. With the gt56 transducer it’s a pretty good setup.

Good to hear. Btw I saw that wlf scheduled the inland brown shrimp(s) season to open for that area on May 9th.

What Devin said. You might also try launching at Spicers and fishing Kelso bayou east to the ship channel, and west into those canals that run to the salt ditch/black lake. Turners bay up to haymark have been a bit muddy most of the past month or so but a few keeper trout to be had there, so I’d imagine Kelso would might be similar. Another option is launching in west cove canal on the refuge and giving that a shot, along the west cove shoreline to oyster bayou but I’m not familiar with the current conditions there.

It’s great that you were able to get your friend on some fish. I’d like to have fished Saturday but it didn’t work out. Enjoying yalls reports till I can get back on the water.

Devin, I hope to be in SWLA. Probably hitting a few spots from Prien Lake down to the turners bay area on Big Lake. A few things need to fall into place for me to get there, but I’m hoping.

That beetle certainly looks gnawed on. Great trip. I’m hoping to make it out this weekend also.

It sounds like a really fun trip. Anxious for my next opportunity!
