ROOKIE LOOKING FOR HELP

[tvc184]

I worked that construction job at the Keith Lake ramp for several months after Ike. Lots of boats, including some very large fiberglass ones, left out of there. I don't know if it is good or bad but I sure saw lots of boats almost every day.

Did they improve the ramp??  Last time I used it was years ago with a 14 ft aluminum boat and remember it being shallow.

I've seen boats going out of there that I didn't think could do it. They dug it out and put up the bulkheads.

I like crabbing in that fairly large (for out there) bayou or cut coming out of the left/south side of Johnson's Lake. I have caught as many as 30 dozen in one morning. I don't know if it has recovered from Ike or not but that was a killer spot.

Go into that cut toward the old fish/duck camp. When it curves to the right is where we anchor off, just out of the current. That curve is pretty deep also compared to the surrounding area and has some good Redfish in it sometimes. You can sometimes see them come up and grab bait while you are crabbing.

well, TVC...since your offering your guide service, maybe we should plan a trip.........may bring bullets as well......I owe him a trip

It's always good for me. I can put you on the spot where I have caught thousands of crabs. Like I said, haven't been since Ike but I know where it was.

Gonna try to plan something in a few weeks........I'll throw some dates out there and see which ones you can make.

We usually put in at Hansens and idle up to the fish pass.The bulk heads on both sides just before you get to the highway bridge will load up with flounder this fall.A lead head jig in white tipped with shrimp will do the trick.Like I said the boat we fish out of here is a 16 ft CC aluminum but it's not a junker by any stretch we just don't get in any big hurry when we're in Keith Lake.The next time I put in at Esthers I' ll PM you some GPS cordinates on where we catch our specks,we usually catch them on shad fished on a Carolina Rig.I like to go out there real early and fish to about daylight at times it can be awesome.

Probably a little early.  Need a decent cool front to come through to get the shrimp moving from the marsh.  I would try the Louisiana shoreline.  Run from Garrison's ridge north a ways and just look for hovering birds or lots of bait in the water.  Good luck!  If you see a few birds sitting togethor, stop and give it a try with plastic shrimp bouced along the bottom.

[tvc184]

Not too early. They just aren't at their peak yet. There may be some working and you might get lucky and see them. The birds will chase bait that is being chased by fish all summer. It just goes into a frenzy in the fall when the water starts cooling and the shrimp start making their annual trek to the Gulf.

It is like the difference in a meal at home and an all you eat buffet. You eat every day but most people pack it in when it is "all you can eat".

hey bullets/tvc..........have not forgot, peewee football is taking most of my free time.  Was thinking the weekend of Oct 17....either Saturday or Sunday.  Any preference??

[bullets13]

saturday would be better for me because i have a soccer game on sunday, but i can skip it if need be.

[tvc184]

I work every weekend so I will check and see how many vacation days I have left this year.

I might have a couple left over. I actually have more than three weeks but some of them I have plans on deer hunting.
