Lake Bigeux is a lake in Louisiana, near St. Martin County.
Anglers looking at St. Martin Parish will find Lake Bigeux, a lake, so on an opening trip I would spend more time casting than relocating. I would give one familiar-looking starting zone a fair chance before making a bigger move, because that keeps the day simple while the water is still unfamiliar.
Lake Bigeux does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, so on a first visit I would judge the scale in person before making a long run, so I would leave the missing number alone until a reliable source turns up. I would start by learning the shoreline before making a long run, because that is more useful than pretending a nearby lake has the same dimensions.
Public fish information for Lake Bigeux is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, so I would treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets, so I would use a versatile setup instead of guessing at a target species. I would carry one versatile setup carrying a few small artificials and a bottom rig, because one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.
If I were seeing Lake Bigeux for the first time, I would work one straightforward piece of water with only a few dependable baits; if the first area is quiet, I would change one thing at a time so I know whether the adjustment helped.
