Those 1 day trips 2hr drive.....
How do you judge your trip or do you just suck it up and make the trip. I want to take a trip down there but the winds have been blowing like crazy. Just wondering

2 or 3 years ago when we had a 3 week red snapper season my dad and I left Lafayette with boat in tow at 2:00 am Saturday morning, launched boat at Bridgeside Marina around 6:00, got back to landing around 3:00 pm, and parked boat back in Lafayette around 7:00. We would clean up sunday morning.
We did this THREE weeks in a row before my wife finally said enough is enough! I'm still not sure if I would still be married if the snapper season didn't close the same weekend she put her foot down. Lol! Those were some great trips! It's all about how much you want it! And how much fuel you want to pay for!

I do 1:40 min from New Orleans all the time. Two small kids, sports, ex-wife, GF, when a weather window breaks and the schedule is loose, got to get when gettin's good. Sleep like a log that night...

2 hr drive
I did it about a week ago. The wind is my main factor if I'm going to take a day trip. The wind was 5-10 and I was at Jugs Marina for 5:00 am. Limited out on trout by 11:30 am and back home around 4:30pm after washing the boat and gassing up.

Pimping ain't easy but it's necessary. From my house to Calcasieu Point in LC takes about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. That's with stopping in LC to hook up to the boat and stopping at Cormies for food and vittles. Like said before. Wind is the biggest factor but a lot of times I'll go regardless as long as it's not ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When the fishing is good like it is now, I make trips to grand isle every day I have off. If I have two days off in a row then I try to get a room at the marina. It's about 2 hours in my truck without my boat 2.5 with boat. It's always worth the trip.

I don't think coco marina has a minimum, I've always been satisfied with my stay too. The covered slip under your room is nice and their prices aren't bad

I like to sleep overnight when I can and make 2 trips out of it. That drive home all in one day is brutal.

The 1 day trip from N.I. to Du Large is a killer but at least I have a better chance of catching than in V.B. & don't have to fight the wind.
