Boat slips

[ThePinkBanana]

How much does it cost to rent a slip at Herbert's or spicers?? We're getting serious this year!

[meaux fishing]

you got to get on a waiting list first

Heberts 2K a year but you more than likely will not get one for the next 5-7 years unless you have a camp at Heberts or a guide

Boat slips available by the public launch. You will have to install you own lift.

What about spicers?

[Kenner18]

There may be one at spicers ,but you better call now cause they don't last long .

Okay cool. Any idea on price over there? Another thing I'm worried about is being forced to buy gas from them which is usually extremely e pensive compared to regular gas stations. How do most people keep their boats filled up? Would be major pain in butt to put it on trailer every time u want to fill up

I'm sure I could get an old chemical drum or something. This was my first instinct, was just curious what every one else does.

I used to have a stall at spicers. it was $1200 a year and you did not have to buy fuel from them. It was very convenient though to just pull up and fuel up. The price may have gone up since I gave it up to a friend 2 years ago. nothing beats pulling into stall washing boat and cleaning fish before you get home. I hate to clean fish or wash boat after the drive home and I am tired. One thing to consider, though, about a boat stall is that your boat will not last as long as it would on a trailer under a cover at your house. The salt water is very harsh on your boat, motor, and other gear. I recommend taking anything you don't want stolen home with you including net, fish finder/GPS, all rods/tackle boxes. Hell, I have even had my removable running lights stolen!

Think spicers has a waiting list I asked this past summer

[ThePinkBanana]

Yeah, I'm trying to decide if the convenience is worth the damage to the boat. Dragging boat and trailer around all the time is work, especially when you fish as much as I do.

I fish twice as much now that my boat is on a lift waiting for me. You will be amazed at the money you will save in fuel by not trails ring a boat. My truck gets 9 mpg towing and 17 without. That difference will pay for your rent

[ScubaLatt]

Good point, bum. I did fish about 2x more with boat in stall. You can always rent one of the boat sheds on the SW side of the Ellender bridge.

The stalls at spicers have different prices . I think they are 850 and 1200 depending on where they are. Most haul fuel in 5 gal cans if they don't buy it there. The fuel there is always 50 cents more a gallon than at the gas station .
