amite /blind /tickfaw etc
 

just released by ch.9 news.
As of noon today all waterways in livingston parish are closed to boat traffic.
they say this is due to the chance of flooding.

hmm never heard of em doing that

That seem weird.

A friend's parents house just flooded in New Iberia due to all the rain over here. About an hour ago they had a couple inches over the base boards.

say that w/ the wind and rain and tides there could be flooding.

spent most of the day at our family camp on Blind river....water was just inches from covering the pier.....
Higher than I ever see it unless we are about to get a hurricane ......

High High for sure

I know they've closed St. James Boat Club several times due to water and debris.

Damned oil will be there soon.

Wow. That's crazy. It's been steady raining since noon here

Yea yak,,,,,,,,,,,,we need some relief........

boats passing yesterday was pushing water over the piers.........
those that have low lying camps will get water from the wakes.......

That's why it's closed I bet

yea .............I even got the finger myself yesterday...............but that could have been an ex inlaw or something

high water no more fittin under the pumpin station in pit. amite

So ture my man..............kayaks only...........
the "Simplepeddler" don't fit on low tide..........LOL

hahahha i know ive had to have 1 dude on the bow and one in the back to "sink " the boat down so i could come back through!! those dudes in the trailer that work there hate me i blow the phone up at 5am to get em to raise the bridge :rotfl:

what kind of fish do ya'll catch back there. i ve been a couple times but never produced well. but i was bream fishing with crickets. i would like to know how to fish it cause its so close to the house i can bring my 8 yr old.

fishing is tough but on the mend.....
bream,Bass and Sacalait.....

I don't fish it to be honest......we've been back there five decades now so we have seen come and go.

We set out crab traps in the summer and that's about it for me.

oh i hear ya. yeah i never really had a whole lot of luck back there fishing, i was just wondering if it was me

Nah. I fished the heck out of that place when I first got here and never really produced too much anywhere on the river. Several folks local blamed the number of boats and nitrogen as the problem. They also were all waiting on a freshwater diversion/spillway that has yet to happen.

that ain't happening no time soon. it would prolly be good for trot lines, but it ain't no good for rod n reeling

I tight lined it and, jug lined the heck outa several of the canals and couldn't really do much there. I'm tellin ya, from my experience, it's the Dead Sea. Keep in mind, I'm not a native and may not know "the hot spots." I just never did much there. It's still one of my FAVORITE places to take a mid-week stroll in my skiff! Man, when no one else is out there, it's beautiful to see and ride!

i have a buddy who has been catching alot of bass in there latley nothing great in size though. it is littered with jug lines i see them moving in the water all the time lots of gar fish . fish the rock on either side of the pump station or closer to where pit amite meets blind river in the cypress knees

pox has got the idea.....fish AWAY from the Blind River and the Diversion.
Head back from the locks going into Sorrento and Saint Amant.

Those little canals are more fishy then they appear.
I just have a boat that will not make it under all the small bridges.

Maybe you should just troll around the Prop shop.....I heard it is best on weekends.

yeah,

i know a few people been catching crabs at the prop stop

dude that place gives me a boner!!!!!!

:eek::puke:

Peddler, I've got the boat to get where you wanna go. Gimme a call sometime and come pick it up. You can't hurt the ugly SOB!

sweet

sad times
 

I think they closed it down........:(:(

But there is now a "Tiki hut" that is at the corner of Diversion and Petit Amite.

it's a pretty "special" place on Sunday afternoons.....and you can get there by vehicle too!!

thats ok fishing sucks there anyway!

Fishing only sucked at the Prop Stop if you had anything less than a 29' Baja!:*****::p

Yeah the same way on the Tickfaw, its better when you have a speedboat and some hot chick with some big H(.)(.)ts riding with you! Cuz thats all I see out there!:p

And?
 

yea every time we fished bass tournaments there the fished seem to be holding around the Prop Stop docks around lunch time......strange pattern indeed.


Actually there used to be some pretty good fishing in and around there.
I absolutely love the place, I wished it was better these days.

We have a great place there...........

the fish and the ducks left when the salvania moved in.

i was talkin bout on the tickfaw

yes Tickfaw ......
the Prop Stop is closed, some make your way across the Lake and hang wit the Ascension/Livingston hoodlums is what I'm screamin' LOL

It's made the scenery around the place even better......

I remember a day where them Baton Rouge folks thought we were all country hicks and would come our way....LOL

Now they bought all the land on the Diversion and built million dollar homes......go figure.

i love it , it keeps me in business!!!!!!!:D

Hell .......
for once I am HAPPY to be wrong!!!

and I been headed to Manchac for the last three weeks.........LOL
