Calcasieu Pass Fishing

[LaAngler]

the Calcasieu Rocks are located at or about 29º 06.803’ N. lat. and 92º 58.901’ W. long. and are in West Cameron leased block 236 and East Cameron leased blocks 118 and 119. They extend about 4 miles east to west. The sea floor north of the “rocks” varies from 60 to 72 feet deep. At the “rocks” the seabed rises to 48 to 56 feet. And just south of the area, the seabed drops to 78 feet with a continued slope to over 100 feet.

It is about 41 miles from the end of the jetties at Mermentau Pass at a heading of 173º (magnetic). The above coordinates are for the center of the ridge. There are two oil rigs about 5 miles apart near the area. If you were to draw a line from one to the other it basically would be a northeast to southwest line. The “rocks” are between these rigs. The northern platform in about 60 feet of water, is at or about 29º 08.302’ N lat & 92º 59.318’ W. long. The southern of the two is at or about 29º 05.515’ N lat. & 93º 03.139’ W. long. and it is in about 75 feet of water.
