Lake Charles and surrounding area bank and wade fishing

[MikeinSlagle]

Welcome to the boards and welcome to Vernon Parish. I work on the MILES gear out at North Fort. And live not far from there.

I make several fishing trips to Holly Beach every year. I have horrible luck but lots of folks tear up the trout and reds. I have had a few good days though. Personal best so far is a 27 lb red from the rocks west of holly and some sort of leviathan that cut my steel leader on his second jump. (pretty sure it was a kraken)

I usually hit the beaches and not too sure about wading and bank fishing in Lake Charles area. If you hit the beaches, Cajun Fast Mart in Sulphur is a good place for lures and bait. Meaux's is on Holly Beach proper and sells better shrimp.

Lots of info to be had here. Good luck to ya.
