I'm a TX Coastal angler with family in Sulphur and in Lake Charles. I grew up fishing the reserve, hog island gully, big lake, LNG plant, choupique, burnt out bridge, etc...-thanks to my Dad who took me all those places. Best memory was us catching and releasing 52 reds one morning when I was 9yrs old. used to go crabbing at the whirpool and ellender bridge. Being a Texan, now I fish mainly in Port O Connor(called POC)

Let me know if anyone needs tips for that area if you decide to head to TX. I know it well.
I'm bringing the boat with me and gonna hit big lake the week of Thanksgiving. Sounds like ya'll are having some luck out there. Hopefully the pattern holds or there are some fish biting later in the month. This is our local forum here in Austin http://www.austinbassfishing.com There is a recent big lake report in the saltwater reports section. also check out some of the luck we've been having with the bull reds at the jetties. Kudos to your site and glad to be here!
