i have finally sat down and figured out the best weekend for the gathering. it looks the fishing calendar,moon chart,and shrimp season have all fallen into place for a great weekend. if you can make it let me know so i can see about getting some good room rates,dock space(shore power if needed) and lots of seafood for a huge cajun good time.
so here it is JUNE 3,4,5 in Camanada bay just north of Grand Isle, LA. (seven miles of sand and sin)
RSVP ASAP so i can start getting some ideas for how many to plan for
-
Sounds like a hoot!
Thanks for heading this up feelin'.
Was looking at the map....Is the New Orleans airport actually in Baton Rouge?
Thanks.
-
NO airport is in Kenner.
'bout 1.5 hours from Red Stick best I can remember.
-
yea ur right it is right out side of nawlins it is also 45 min from were i live. its about an hour from grand isle.
-
Well SHUCKS!! I am working nights that weekend, I am off the weekend before and the weekend after.....Man I'm always working when something fun is going on.....
-
well as it sits right now im not sure if we r going to still have it at all. looks like obama is trying to make us all home bodies.
right now i have a very nice yard decoration. just happy to have enough gas to run her once a week to keep her running smooth.
-
Naw, its rollin' now...and you already have some cousins planning to fly in/drive in from afar.
Keep the faith, and show them a ragin' cajun good time!
All you can do is try your best.... read the "Aquasport Octoberfest" thread for how the first one can happen.
-
well anyone wanting to fly in i have plenty of room on my boat for fishing trips. im sure the others dragging in will be more than happy to save a spot on the transom for a brother stuck on land. not to mention the fishing off the peir is great at night.
-
ok guys i have the best spot. it has rooms, cabins that sleep large groups all within walking distance of ur boat.
check out this site the rates are great for this time of year.

they r having a fishing rodeo that weekend im looking into finding out what entry fee is and prizes are.
these guys have everything you need from bait to food , from wet slips with power to rooms with kitchens.
its feet from the gulf and inside fishing. there are two peirs that at night have some of the nicest speck fishing you have ever seen.

Feelin' (John) thanks again for taking on the challenge of the inaugural Aquasport Gulf Coast reunion.
Who can step up and help, make plans, pitch in? You can't be expected to take it on yourself. That's where the posse comes in.
Guys??.....
Thanks :thumright:

Hey She'lt,
I'm gonna try and make it, I am a one leg pirate so, I am looking for a ramped hotel room there on the isle. I hope to bring my son with me who worked up the road a bit, in Venice for a few years. he swears by that area for line bustin action. he told me I better work on the push ups to build the arms up for the fightin those fish are gonna give.

second you know the bull reds and the 20 inch specks will be running in the pass and in the the bay.
-
fuel was 3.69 at the dock and holding pretty steady. reds are hitting hard and the specks are plentiful. it was a very nice weekend to be on the water. boat is running very good.
im hoping that this is going to be a gathering and not just a fishing trip. :scratch: :scratch:

Thank you, for your concern and prayers! I've been getting good reports, from friends catching too many bull reds to count! The last time I was down, we brought home 24 specks the size, of my forearm (elbows to fingertips)---an okay day huh brah? Hopefully we'll have some good weather and tides. FYI Still in Ohio, trying to put together a Lake Erie trip before I come home. been here 2 weeks sunshine 1 day, rain everyday....I'm really starting to get the reds..
A couple, my friend caught yesterday!(http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l639/bayourunner/Bayou%20Runner%20fishin/SoLaBullReds.jpg)

ok guys looks like the gathering held this weekend went great. the guys seem to have had a good time.
im looking for those guys who want to come down and pass a good time with a few southern boys, eat some good seafood, and do some great fishing. not to mention meet some friends you have been talking to on here face to face.
we might even have a few beers along the way. :drunken: :drunken:
-
Feelin',
Wanted to check in. Am concerned with you guys there, with the heavy flood upcoming.
The Corps released the gates...doesn't look good. How will you make out?
Thinking of our Bengal brothers this weekend.
Respond when you can,
Your CA friends

Feelin',
We're concerned for you folks. You're response is appreciated.

reporting from the high and dry cajun country. the water is not hitting my neck of the woods. the water will come to the area but will not even get close to topping any of our levees. sorry took so long to get back. been busy with the new job.
everything is fine and the water is staying right were it should be.

Hey Feelin, Glad to hear you are doing well, in Cut Off! I am home, and things High and dry here, in French Settlement. The fresh water has invaded the lake and is starting to back up into Maurepas and the Amite, but she is still well within her banks. Looks to me like the Grand Isle area is going to be the best water around here :P . My friend is in Breton Sound and they caught 5 fish yesterday :( . Mom is doing great in Ohio, and I'm home on a new job. I am working on the wiring on the Aquaholic, but plan to be done next week. Hope to see you there!!!
-
well guys here we go we are just a few weeks from the gathering. there may be some changes due to the fresh water.
we may need to move it to leeville. grand isle may be getting some fresh water from the big river. leeville is a lil closer inland and looks like it wont be affected by the fresh water. if anyone has made reservations on grand isle let me know and i can possible work something out from here as a local favor. if you have plans on making it give me a pm and i can fill you in.
-
well boys we are getting close. now with the new date set for june 11 and 12. location still up in air but its just a skip and a jump from both. hotels and space are the only things holding the location up. it looks like bayourunner is lined up and we have a few guys holding out till the last min.
looks like if we r going to sleep anywere leeville is going to be the ticket. grand isle is going to be packed summer has ate up all the hotels and dock space. leeville is a great place with lots of fishing within 5-10 min of dock.
so lets see if we can gets some more confirms. how about it smitty you still up for it. i know there is some mississippi boys and some texas boys maybe even some la (lower alabama) boys that might be able to make it.
car fuel is 3.59 right now and boat non-crap is 3.63 at the dock.

Feelin
I can't make it, wish I could, but we have been doing nothing but traveling since the last week in April, we just kept the suitcases packed for the last 5 weeks. So the budget won't allow anymore collateral expenses for a little while. Hope ya'll have a blast..
