Calcasieu river was a great place to get some bass but saltwater has pushed up so much you got to go pretty far north on it to catch good
That's what I hear, I've never fished it for bass though. Caught some nice speckled trout and reds from it in lake Charles though. I don't know if you follow professional bass fishing but when the bassmaster elite series came here to orange on the Sabine River, a lot of the pros were running over and fishing up the calcasieu. The Sabine River and neches river around here seem to be perfect for bass fishing but the tidal surge from Ike pretty much killed everything out and they've never fully recovered. You can go and catch 30-40 fish a day on soft plastics but they're all between 8-10 inches.
