Fishing Calcasieu Pass (Cameron)

Calcasieu Lake, Cameron and Vermilion Bay: big marsh lakes and passes with easy roadside access.

What's biting now (Fall): One of the best seasons: speckled trout move into the marsh and lakes, and redfish school up along shorelines.

Commonly caught in this area: Speckled trout, redfish, flounder and black drum.

Also caught here: croaker, hardhead catfish, sheepshead, jack crevalle.

Inlets funnel bait in and out with every tide, and predators wait at the edges. Fish the last part of the incoming and first part of the outgoing tide, and watch the current - inlets can be dangerous for small boats.
