Do you think BL will be good tomorrow?
 

Do y'all think it would be worth driving 2hrs to fish tomorrow after this weather

No

Any other place to find some reds I really need to because I gave a friend from Illinois I've been trying to get red fishing for quite some time now

You can prolly go and catch reds. It takes a lot to mess up them redfish. Jetties you will catch bulls for sure.


Spiral Out

Fishing has been brutal and will stay that way until the weather staightens out. That goes for reds and specs

they had a redfish tournament yesterday and half the field did not catch a red...

I saw that too..... Tough times

Guess it looks like our Best bet is to just drive down to the jetties and try to find some reds

Going to be muddy muddy

I have no other choices I have to find some reds for him while he is down it's our only time

Bring plenty of bait and food/drinks and make the day of.

If your friend is able to catch 2 or 3 bull reds, that will be the trip of a lifetime.

I just thought of something what do you guys think about cypermore point I've never been but that is also an option for us any of you fish that area

You have a way better chance of catching fish around Lake Charles area like 210, Prien, or PPG canal

Than going get beat down at Jetties...

What kind of boat you running?

Small 16 foot flat aluminium bass boat style

Hire a guide with a big boat LOL

No no offense on guides we just like going on our own boat

You will sink that boat if the swells are bad... that place gets rough in winds and strong tides


Unless it was calm I would not recommend going to jetties, last year we had a guy who attempted going in high winds and sunk his boat
There is a good thread on it...lmao we told him not to go but... some are hard headed

I checked look like the winds aren't too bad tomorrow but really thinking of going to cypremort point instead

Go hit prien area you will def get reds

I sent you a PM.

The jetties are money every time. It is the closest thing you can come to a sure thing in fishing, especially if you can make it out one of the cuts. I have a 16' aluminum boat, and I almost always find a spot to catch fish. You have to be careful and pay attention, but in a 16' boat, it's not a big deal unless you do something stupid.

If the swells are too big near the end or through the cuts, the green channel marker across from the east side launch is a great spot. Odds are you can fish the inside in the morning, and then move outside as the moderate north winds gives the swell from today's s winds a chance to die down.

I wouldn't say def hit the reds, we had 5 guides up there Friday, combined 8 fish from up in lake Charles and prien. Wind was bad, water was dirty, fishing for ghost.

not trying to sound cocky but there are plenty of reds in prien area, i've never had a problem catching reds at any time of year there...in the past month or so i've caught limits every trip out along with flounder and a few specks here and there..

Can you tell us how cause I've been strugglin. lol

All I've been fishin is matrix shad and white gulp shrimp, early morning start fishing dropoffs near shallow areas then when it warms up fish shallower water, low tide grasslines for reds and high tide theyll be up in the shallow areas, flounder stick to the same areas so once you catch one in an area comb the spot out and there should be a few more just gotta get em to eat your bait

baitfish are small right now from what i've seen thats why ive been using matrix its a perfect size small bait with alot of action, another month topwater should be good, they hit it now but not like they'll be hitting it when the good bite turns on

Sweet. Thanks for the info

Bull reds are easier at the jetties:

1. Attach cracked crab or cut mullet to an appropriate size hook, 6/0 - 10/0. Crab is better.

2. Use enough weight to reach bottom in given current.

3. Keep slightly off bottom in channel to reduce snags. Can be on bottom in areas that are not rocky.

4. Hold on.

See the attached map for some of our favorite spots.

Can you run anywhere in Prien or are there some areas to watch out for?
