If you get the rattle corks it makes a clicking sound that sounds alot like a scared shrimp. I normally use a sparkle beatle under a cork,but the DOA will work fine....there just so expensive for what you get. You can pick up a 10 pack of beatles for about 2.50

the only reason you ever have to pop your cork is cause its windy and you needa take slack outta your line and it helps...the poppin cork is 10 percent truth and 90 percent BS..

Sorry I didn't see this when it was going to happen. Those are my home waters. Bay Bastian and the Shell Island washouts are best for trout this time of year. Bayou Cook for reds. I miss home when I think about the fishin' there.

[Jordan]

sandy, we need to get together and talk about empire... thats my home waters also.... bay bastian is where i caught my 4th place redfish in the last tourney.... 37+ lb bull red !!

[coachlaw]

For sure dude. I caught the largest red of my life on New Year's day near the mouth of Bayou Cook at Bay Bastian. The second washed out camp dock from the mouth. That was my buddy F.S.'s camp before Katrina. Great place for winter fishing. Those bruisers hold near the pilings there. Better have your 50lb power pro ready or they'll wrap you in the pilings.

Our old camp was the last one on the left in Bayou Cook before you hit the mouth into Bastian. It went in Danny in 1997.

that waws back in the day... i didn't pay too much attention to camps... just wanted to hook up on some hoss'es... and i did !!!

[coachlaw]

It was sad for me to see the area again this Summer. So much of the marsh is but a memory buried under 3 feet of water now. 90% of my money spots are gone, but I still manage. There's only one camp left in Bayou Cook

To quote Margaret Mitchell, "A way of life . . . . Gone with the wind."

[Jordan]

our camp is in bayou maraguar ?? Hang a hard right out of the empire canal from the locks and head due northwest then there is a cut on the left hand side of the bay and u hang the bank in the cut, it zig-zags and makes a hard right.. (gotta almost stop the boat to turn it) then go through a bay and its on the left... if your out that way and see a camp with american flag and the skull and cross-bones flag, you've found it... its out by the flares
