If you're from out of town, Calcasieu Lake isn't a true freshwater lake, but actually a brackish inlet home to some killer saltwater species.

Captain Tom worked hard to get us on the fish, each of the 3 days presented different conditions. Tom’s knowledge of the area and fish habits made for a successful trip. We caught red fish, sheep head, largemouth bass, trout, flounder,and even a gar.
