What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Lake Charles, Louisiana for the first time?

Fishing out of Lake Charles is a nice place. However, there are many other places along the Louisiana Gulf Coast that I might recommend more highly. This just happened to be a new experience and slightly closer to us.

Check the weather and check any fishing blogs the guides or locals are using to keep themselves informed. The second day Capt. Andrew was on his cell phone non-stop chatting with his guide buddies trying to find hot spots, tips, and conditions. It would be a good way to prepare for what to expect before launching into the day fishing.

Yes I would recommend fishing the Lake Charles area. There are abundant game fish and miles of fishing grounds to explore.

The lake is not producing as it has in the past. The speck bite was weak. I would recommend targeting red fish.

Bring clothes you can layer if it gets colder or hotter and bring a big cooler if you plan to take home your catch. Lake Charles was great and everyone was so nice and congenial.

Bring sunscreen, snacks and plenty of beverages. Book your next trip with Gills and Bills.

Definitely book a trip with Reel Charters LLC if you are looking for a great fishing adventure.

I recommend booking a trip with Bait Guy Charters or one of the many reputable guides on the lake.
