Not to hijack. But

did ok I guess. Could have for better. Got to the dam with about 1 hour left on the tide and walked across to the gulf side. Picked up 10 keeper specks and a lot of throebacks. One of the guys caught the biggest sheepheas I've ever seen. Easy 8 pounds. A few rat reds. Guys next to us kept 30 or so but where there way before us

I work at a marine repair shop in lafayette,and I havn't seen anything mayjor go wrong with suzuki four stroke unless it was the operator's error. Some of the suzuki two strokes are a differant story though lol We had a customer at the shop this week with a 300 zuke on a everglades,talk about sweet.

Hustler could show you 'round Hopedale for sure. It's hard to find a bad spot in La. As far as working on coastal restoration, I sure hope something can be done. Between the Corps of Engineers, the levees, and the pipeline canals, I fear the damage has already been done. My dad has done a lot of work on it. He's a professor at Tulane.

He and I went out of Empire last weekend and we were crushed at how many of our great marsh fishing spots are no longer there at all.

I think you'll like the Carolina Skiff. I've never known anyone who had one that didn't like it. - Sandy

What price you gettting that boat for if you don't mind?? There's a 19ft DLX in henderson for sale for 15000...........got a 115? opti on it, VERY low hours, all decked out with everything you need, 2 depth finders(front and rear) new trolling motor, the works................can't even tell this boat has been in the water............it's only 2 years old..........maybe get a better deal onit than what your getting new?? and a 19 is WAY better in the waves out of Fouchon than a 16............My 2cents...............Tim

Getting the boat for 5000. It is a 2008 so it is one year old. I would love to get that bigger boat but I need a house to live in and I can promise that wouldn't be if I bought that boat. The wife loves me but not that much.

As long as he stays inside at fourchon he should have no problem w/ that boat.
yak em, He could launch right there where i told you to launch by the bridge and fish most of that area.
Med heavy , You do have a trolling motor on that boat ???

yak'em-n-stack'em · #30 08-15-2009, 08:11 AM

yea, i think that area will be our first trip, real easy to launch and get back if there is a problem

Mediumheavyaction6'6 · #31 08-15-2009, 11:34 AM

Yea, its a minn kota remote control trolling motor I am not sure of the thrust.

redfishman · #32 08-16-2009, 08:19 AM

Hopedale is a great place particularly in the fall and winter. There's a place we call 1-qt lake where you can load up on trout and reds and not use more than a qt of gas.

E-man- when can you get "yard leave" ??? I fished offshore with a well known guide to "SCA". Said the trout should becoming thick just west of Gret's runout in a few weeks. Lemme know.....

eman · #33 08-16-2009, 09:31 AM

Wife agreed I understand
