About this water
The Calcasieu Ship Channel is one of Louisiana's most famous saltwater fishing corridors, connecting Calcasieu Lake to the Gulf and producing trophy-sized speckled trout and redfish year-round. The channel's deep water and strong tidal currents concentrate baitfish and predators along the jetties and rock structures. Anglers fishing the channel banks and jetties regularly land citation-sized speckled trout exceeding five pounds.
