Kayakers fish all over Big lake. The main launching spots are in West Cove, and Fred's Lounge on the north side. Additionally, I have launched the kayak and fished out of Heberts, Grand Lake, LNG, Moss Lake, Choupique Bayou, Spicers, Joe's landing, Cameron Ferry Landing and at the jetties. It helps if you know someone with good access to a private launch. Some guys can get to the SE side of the lake with a long paddle or prviate property access.
There are also lots of kayak tournaments, with a few on Big Lake. Feb. 19th the Lafayette KFC is having a slam(red/trout/flounder) tournament on Big Lake, weigh-in at 210 park.
