Lake Charles area offshore info needed - The Hull Truth

bumfisherman · 09-05-2007, 10:21 AM

Heading to Lake Calcasieu and planning to take the Gulf Coast for the bay and the Cobia 254 offshore. I have never fished North of Galveston offshore and was hoping to get a few tips before heading out. Are there plenty of rigs to hop and how far out should I expect to have to go before getting into decent fishing waters?

We are currently working in the Vermillion 255 block and there are plenty of big Snapper out here!!!! Not to mention Cobia!!!

Where you from Bum? South east from the Jetty boat ramp about 40-50 miles gets you 60+ feet and all the fish you love to catch. Fishing the jetty is very productive too most days.

I live in East Texas and mainly fish out of Freeport. We can't resist a fall trip each year to Lake Calcasieu. This will be my first trip offshore from there. I have good electronics to get me back so I'll head South East and start looking for rigs.

Bumfisherman I miss cool Northeast Texas mornings. Was up there for a few years in Tyler and Longview and around. If you have not taken your trip yet PM to me. I have a couple of coordinates you may find fish at.
