Also what landing should I go to? what areas of the lake would be best to target for trout and reds this time of year?
Need some assistance here fellas...

As a fellow VB fisherman who's home waters are screwed, I do enjoy fishing BL during the interim. I fish out of Hebert's on the east side of the lake. Do not waste your time on strong windy days! This lake gets real rough quickly because of its North to South orientation. North wind blows the water out making it dicey running around the wash-outs, entering and running West Cove and shore areas all around the lake. My advice is get a guide for your first three or four trips. Tell him/her what you're doing is trying to learn BL; they will be more than helpful.
If you look at a whole year of fishing you gonna find that BL is far more consistent than VB in the number of days you can actually catch fish. VB give us about 110 days of good fishing conditions but BL gives at least 300 days. Even in poor conditions you still can get out the wind if from the south. Fishing the weirs w/ bait shrimp will produce reds where your trip is not a total bust.
