Minnesota Boys take on Louisiana

January 18, 2022 at 8:00am

I had Justin and his buddies all from Minnesota. The guys had a good nights sleep at the REEL INN Dularge. We took advantage of the outgoing tide most of the morning, then switched to big fish once the tide started coming in. We joked and cut up on the boat all day until the skies fell out. We…

Cleaner to Remove Yellow Skum on Boat Hull

Cajun-Pete

December 06, 2013 at 4:48pm

Has anyone found a good product that is easy to use and not corrosive to boat trailers that will easily remove the 'yellow skum' from a boat hull? I have used a product a friend gave me on an older boat I had, but it has phosphoric acid in it and is very corrosive to galvanized and aluminum…

I have used a product in the past with excellent results ! It was call Hull Magic ! it wipes on easily and the yellow stains disappear before your eyes. I think it has citric acid in it as the activator !

Boat Launches South of Buras

LouisianaCaucajun

August 09, 2009 at 10:47am

Hoping someone can help me out. When I fish in the river in Buras, I launch at Lloyd's. The only other launches that I know of south of Buras are the ones in Venice, Venice Marina and Cyprss Cove. Are there any other launches into the river between Buras and Venice?

Fort Jackson has a public launch. When you go in the entrance there is a road that goes to the left. Take that and the launch is to your left. It's just a backdown, nothing special but it's free.

Sweetwater Marina / Delacroix experience

Floridafisherman

October 12, 2016 at 8:14pm

Let me start by saying Delacroix fishing is my favorite! The redfish are always plentiful and large. I'm not much for trout so can't tell you any sea stories about limiting out in Delacroix. This trip was no different. Fishing Thursday afternoon, Friday, and Saturday resulted in 39 reds, 4…

What time of day did you go and where do you launch from?I just got my kayak in february and live in Ponchatoula. I'm looking for some good places near home to kayak fish after work and on weekends. I've been to Manchac but no luck...reds don't start running there until late July and August.

I have fished out of Hopedale, Louisiana, for many, many years. This is a SE Louisiana village of fisherman and sports anglers since its inception. What you see here in these pictures is a striking view of a lone tree in an endless field of marsh grass and water—standing out like an announcement…

I am looking for a bay boat that will work well for my future fishing plans.

The areas I would like to fish area all inshore and (I believe are?) calm - delacriox, golden meadow, and a few places around southern LA for bass fishing. Let me know if any of these are not calm - it has been a…

Went Friday evening to the Mud Lake Bayou Dufrene area to throw a spoon in the grass beds. Had one bite and it was a bass, I missed it. Saturday morning I headed out to Big Bayou Dularge. I fished the drains and wound up with the opposite of my usual problem of the reds being to small. This time I…

I had heard that Ascension Parish had bought the boat landing that accesses the Maurepas swamp off of hwy. 22. It had a barroom next to it. Is it now public and open? It's a couple of miles east of the Airline. Thanks.

Capt John L

First, you're going to need about 2 feet of surgical tubing with an inside diameter of .34centimeters. When you bring up a white perch or sacalait, insert the Cath just above the anus hole. Insert to a depth of approximently 1 inch depending on the size of the fish. This should do it!
