Within Terrebonne Parish, Bay Charlie is identified as a lake, and I would rather give one section a fair chance before moving. A first look would begin around one manageable area near the launch, because I would rather understand one section than skim the whole place.
Bay Charlie Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage numbers are not readily available for Bay Charlie, which makes it smarter to keep the first plan modest until I see the water. The first trip should emphasize judging the first section for yourself, and there is no reason to guess at depth or acreage just to make the trip sound more certain.
Fishing This Water
Exact species information is sparse for Bay Charlie, which makes it smarter to keep the tackle broad enough to learn what bites. I would keep the first outing flexible with a basic first-trip selection of a small soft plastic and a live-bait option, since the second trip can be more specific after you know what is actually there.
