    Default My review of Lake Charles.


    Crappie fishing Lake Charles has inspired me to write a recipe for "Crunchy Crappie Tacos Lake Charles Style"

    Ingredients:

    1. One full limit of Lake Charles crappie.
    2. 1/2 cup shredded cabbage.
    3. 1/4 cup chipotle sour cream
    4. One lime
    5 Two soft taco shells

    Scale, score, and deep fry full limit of lake Charles Crappie


    Spread 1/2 of chipotle sour cream on each side of soft taco shells
    sprinke 1/2 of shredded cabbage on each taco shell
    SPRINKLE 1/2 limit of WHOLE fried crappie on each taco shell
    squeeze lime juice to taste.

    FEEDS ONE

    Enjoy.

    What I learned at Lake Charles:

    Side imaging is "da bomb" and it will put you on some fish especially if you have the side imaging transducer selected instead of quadra-beam.

    Lake Charles is a great place to learn to feel the soft bite of a Crappie. There will be no thump, you just feel for the "thwizzle" and then set the hook.

    Lake Charles has great facilities and a camp ground right on the lake that would be a good place to take the wife and kids, unless the wife wanted to go shopping, or to a casino sometime that week.

    Lake Charles looks to be a guarantee to let a kid catch a fish and there are some catfish in it as long as your leg.

    Lake Charles has some good fishing in the surrounding areas.

    Lake Charles would be a great place to camp and fish. Expect small crappie or hit some Black River oxen bows for bigger crappie.

    Nice job! My family use to camp there and I fished the heck out of that lake in middle school during those camping trips. When I got old enough to drive, we still camped there but traveled to some of the best BR Oxbows that are nearby. Some great fishing in the oxbows near Lake Charles.
    no matter what I'm doing, I've got hunting or fishing on my mind...

    that's a 200 qt cooler and it just makes the crappie look small.
