yep i bet i would've

[Fishmaster]

And it would really help to spread the word about Saltycajun threw out alot more of Louisiana.....

[RaginCagin]

Nothing like croka soaking in GI and going out at Arties at night.

[LaAngler]

offshore fish/inshore fish for grand isle/fourchon would be sweeet

wait until the surf turns on for the waders/kayakers also

[RaginCagin]

June would be a great time to have one in GI. You can fish from a boat, wade fish, or fish from a kayak. June-July are probably the best 2 months to catch numbers of fish.

G.I. would be a great place to have a tourney.
May /June would be tops. Been fishin down there most of my life.
Only thing about doing a late spring / summer tourney there would be that we probably won't be able to get one of the major marinas for a weigh in site as they have tourneys pretty much every weekend .
But i'm sure i can find us someplace .
that time of year will be great for , yakkers , boaters and waders.
If we get serious about doing a grand isle bungle i will be happy to help w/ contacts and sites and anything else needed.

I know chris very well and he would love to have us but i can probably get us a place on the island to stay an weigh.

I didn't think about staying at Chris's, I know him pretty well too, went to school, worked & shot bows with him. He can hook us on a place to stay.

If it is in the summer I would try to make it. I don't mind driving to fish,

I will have added 1600+ miles to the truck by time I get home from fishing the tourney.

[LaAngler]

sounds like the interest may be there, so eman is volunteering to run/organize it?

any others?

Shad talked about having an event on the East side as well and we think that Cocodrie might be the better bet as there are a few more options with regards to places to stay - confined, but not nearly as much as GI.

I also threw out a Border Wars tourney to be held on Sabine as a TX/LA event.

We'll figure something out, but Shad/W definitely need to be involved in any future event planning.

More places to stay... Yes. But everybody in Cocodrie runs out towards the gulf during the summer. Also not many places for yaks to fish around there for trout at least, and waders would be out the picture also just a couple things to consider.....
