If the rains are heavy during the summer and there's mud...the lake sucks. If there is a lot of runoff from North of the salt water barrier and the tides/winds are weak...lowering the salinity..the lake sucks.
Now...if there's been a steady south wind and good tides...and couple that with birds working...man...Big Lake is on fire then. We used to fish nine-mile cut and the washout when the tides were running right...right on the ship channel and nail the reds/specks running there... but I've been in Turner's Bay fighting a mud line, and there were no fish to be found. So it can be hit or miss.

There is a project being planned to actually LOWER the salinity of the lake. According to CPRA the salt water coming through the ship channel is killing what little marsh is there. Not sure if I believe that, but it is going to absolutely kill the fishing around Calcasieu.

They used to be on fire. Unfortunately, almost all the reefs in that area are silted over. Hopefully their oyster culch project will pay off and bring those back to life.
