Went to Calcasieu to mark debris and take a look at the lake after IKE's huge storm surge, very few boats out and about. Found submerged boat docks, boats, pilons, etc. in the middle of the lake. Flagged what we could and reported coordinates. Be careful traveling the lake in low light conditions for a while.
The water was a stained color almost like weak coffee, but some baitfish caught our eye and we had to check and see if the fish were still around, caught a ton of redfish in no time at all along with a lot of small specks, kept a few for dinner. Left the fish biting, i do believe it would have been possible to have a 50-150 or maybe more redfish day if you wanted!!! Fish were biting on sand eels and shrimp imitations. The trout seemed confused and were very scattered and actually feeding up in the grass on the banks, i'm sure as the lake settles out they return to normal patterns.
