Fishing OPEN!!!!!
 

just heard that most of state waters have been reopened to recreational fishing and commercial could open in 7-10 days... There are still a few closed areas but for the most part everybody can fish. Just waiting for the map to be posted by LDWF

I thought they were meeting tomorrow about this?

O Happy Day!!

Good, now somebody needs to take me fishing......................did I mention I would pay for gas.

I've got an extra yak bay slayer

when they gonna post a map

Map is up

Map is up

i went to LDWF...there's no closures...not even offshore.

You sure thats right?

Lets do it!!!!

Going to load up on some reds tpmorrow afternoon in Delacroix.

It shows the federal waters are still closed. Does anyone know if south ofCameron is included in the Federal closure?

Thats great news for the charter capts,hopefully it stays that way.

Alot of the charter capts were against the opening. They are making guarenteed bank from BP, if the fishing is open and folks want to fish and the guide they normally fish w/ ain't fishin . Time for a new guide.

and its not even august yet!!! wooohooo!

I got a buddy in Hopedale/Shell Beach that's making over $1000 a day workin' for BP. He said, "To hell with fishin'."

???
 

Not a single one at the meeting tonight was against it....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Captain Dudley spoke up for the commercial guys......but he was for the opening

Are federal waters still closed?

Yep this is for LA state waters only

I can not get the maps to open here at work, Is grand Isle open??

good luck with that he won't bring you :cry:

Oh come on man. You know it's scheduling conflicts

just giving you a hard time

Haha. I know. I need to go fishing. But I'm broke right now. Spent too much money at the first of the month and don't get paid til the end

YES:fireworks::fireworks:...... here you go

Looks like its closed from caminada pass west to the west end of elmers. map has no detail, So could be caminada pass to belle pass.

Yo Eman,
Looks like west part of Fourchon is open. I see Bay Champagne on the map as open. I would assume a GPS would give you some better accuracy. Looks as if all of Elmer's is closed. GI looks wide open.
Good news for the coast!!
Now need a mega clean up to get that stuff outta there.

i checked the coordinates on my garmin mapping software on my computer and there apperars to be a small piece of elmers open right at caminada... maybe a quarter of a mile...then closed to about half way between belle pass and caminada....

I mainly fish Barataria side in the bay and sometimes the rocks on the Gulf side so i'm good to go. Going to plan a trip the last week of August hopefully. Anyone going to GI soon?

im thinking about going this weekend.... looked at the satellite image and water looks pretty good especially at the close Fourchon rigs...and some of those are within the three miles...

I'm dying to get to some of the reefs I fish, the bay has to be full of trout right now.

i was thinking the same thing....

dang it......:p

Hey yakem............I'm off for 2 weeks if you decide you want to go

I'll let you know when we can go

somebody on a different site said they called the GI ldwf and the beach is still closed not the fishing but the beach itself... you can fish it from a boat though
