2010 Sabine Slam (LA vs TX) Tourney at Sabine Lake - October 9!
 

I'm looking to put together a tournament to be fished by folks from both LA and TX (LA versus TX), so I'd like information regarding both sides of the lake regarding lodging available (RV park, camps, etc), launch sites/marinas, etc. Ideally I'd have LA folks weigh-in on the LA side and vice-versa, so nobody has to buy a day license in the other state. Any ideas?

TX side there is the Causeway launch or the Sabine Pass 4-way boat launch thats way nicer. There is a new Hotel on 73 (I forget the name) on the way to Sabine that seems to be a nice place , I dont know prices yet. Port Arthur there is tons of restraunts and stores now off of I-10.

Nobody fishes Sabine besides BMTAngler?? :p

I have a friend who lives on Pleasure Island who fishes it. We are staying at Pleasure Island next weekend. I will get him to sign up on SC and see if he can help. He mostly fishes Reds, but he can hook you up with some info, or someone who can.

Shad man
 

Shadman I grew up on the lake now live in Baton Rouge still fish there regulary. There is basically no where on the LA side to stay are launch except across the causway where BMT is talking about on the LA side and at Johnson Bayou no other public launchs on LA side. As far as places to stay most of the tournaments on sabine are held at Pleasure Island public boat launch on the texas side and there is also a RV site there. People would have to stay on TX side are stay in Lake Charles area.There is also a RV site at the causeway. If you need any other info let me know my hole family still lives there

Thanks, guys! Here is a quick scratch of my idea.

Friday night "captain's meeting"/party on the TX side either on Pleasure Island or in Port Arthur, as near to the lake as possible, and preferrably at a place that allows RVs (it would be awesome if someone here has access to an acre or two near the lake). Saturday you can launch anywhere on the lake you want. Weigh-in on Pleasure Island for the Texans and at the causeway ramp on the LA side for the Cajuns (Texan weighmaster on LA side, and vice-versa :) ). Winner announcement/festivities/after-party on Pleasure Island.

With weigh-in on both sides, the LA folks won't need a TX license. We'll need to check into the rules about having fish in your vehicle in TX, though...but maybe everyone can leave their fish ice chests in one vehicle on the LA side or something if that is an issue.

FYI - This will be a LA vs TX tourney, or more appropriately, Salty Cajun vs 2CoolFishing. ;) :cheers:

2010 "Battle for Sabine" Shootout
2010 I-10 Shoutout
etc :D

Sounds like fun and a lot of smack talking!

lets get ready ta rumble

never fished sabine...looking forward to it

Y'all help me think of a good name for the tourney also!

I haven't been there since the storms, is the Texas Umphrey park still there? They used to have campsites. How about the Deep Bayou/Johnson Bayou Launch? Causeway launch is probably best for Louisiana people. Launch on the Texas side (much better launch) recover on Louisiana side.

There are 2 places right next to each other on Pleasure Island to weigh in. Them folks
are good people. They are prolly willing to do most anything to bring tourist/people/
boaters/fishermen to the island.

how bout the sabine slam??????or the texass vs loserana tourney

im in as long as bender is NOT there. i aint skeered of noone "except that big ol bear" *****

Well of course we are. Their ringleader is all of about 4 foot 3 inches tall and at least that wide. He looks like a Weeble. Weebles wobble and then they fall down. http://www.2coolfishing.com/ttmbforu...ilies/wink.gif

Mont would accidenally step on your head and not even know it. His nickname should be Montsquatch. :)

This is gonna be fun :D

Do I fish as a Texan or a CoonA$$??? Hmmmm....

or should I say a HorsesA$$ or a CoonA$$!

W vs jolly Green Giant.....ptffff we all know how that ended up...... W 1.....Texan 0

Don't forget to bring your guide. :*****:

see above for his built in excuse. :*****:

Workin'... Danngit.

2Salty :smokin:

Dude, it's 7 months away, plenty of time to swap shifts. :)

Been on the same shift for over 25 years. They won't let me swap for nuttin.
If'n I could, I would never work for the holidays... :grinpimp:

On the LA side.......there is the "Burnt-out-bridge" boat launch at the end of old Hwy 90 south of Toomey,LA I-10 interstate exit. The launch is ~ 5 miles south of the interstate.

Good launch (?), but the only parking is along side the road. The lake is ~ 10 miles down the Sabine river. Shawn......how many can stay at your camp??????

There are a couple of motels in the Toomey/Vinton area. There is also an RV park in Vinton.

Hey if that don't work....you could very easily host a LA vs TX tourny on the BEND...that would be a big'n. Just schedule it for late Sept.:D

That is still a consideration if we can't find appropriate facilities at Sabine in the next week or so.

I just added a poll at the top regarding Sabine vs Toledo Bend. Vote for the one you'd prefer to fish.

No Freshwater!!!!!!!!!

Ill be there if its an away game weekends for the Saints....Saltwater fo sho

What's up with that? Hell...I'm all about saltwater....but im down w/ any kind of fishing especially "any" tournament!

Don't no much about saltwater, Know a heck of alot less about fresh!!

I went bass fishing two times, twenty years ago.

There ant nothing like a good bass tourny !

Love me some Bass fishin..thats why we have a tournament up on toledo

we have a couple saltycajuns that are top notch on sabine

if only they will help

I have a good buddy who I work offshore with that has lived on Sabine Lake for 22 years............................... He is my partner

I will be there next weekend, staying on our Chris Craft in one of the canals on Pleasure Island. I will be partying with a bunch of Pleasure Island boaters and fishermen.
I will see if I can get a few of them to sign up and give out info. on where to stay and where to have the weigh in.

Well...what ever you think of Shad.....I'd bet you a new boat that pitting LA vs Tx on Toledo bend would be a monster tourny...especially if you hit the red dirt on both sides w/ flyers or posted an ad in the Lakecaster mag! Like i said above...i'm all about saltwater fishing but i love a lil bass mastering too..plus the lake has a better accomadations for both sides. (no long trips after tops popped!)

I voted Saltwater but I do agree that Toledo would be a better match as far as the party after is concerned....:)
