If you're looking for largemouth bass action in Southwest Louisiana, Westlake is a great starting point. The area is close to both the Calcasieu River and several smaller lakes and bayous that hold quality bass. These waterways offer diverse structure, from flooded timber and lily pads to submerged grass beds and docks. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target bass, as they move shallow to spawn. However, fall can also be productive as the fish feed aggressively before winter. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lures. A helpful tip: pay attention to the tides, as the influx of saltwater can influence bass activity, especially in the Calcasieu River. Public boat ramps provide access to the Calcasieu River, but be aware of strong currents and boat traffic. The bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, making for exciting fishing.
