I am in the process of building a fairly large house boat. Any idea on who insures house boats? I tried my insurance agent (State Farm) and they won't do it. I tired Boat US and they denied it because of the size and that I live in a hurricane prone area. Looking for anyone that has run across this same problem in the past to see what the solution was. Thanks in advance.

Is there anywhere to get live bait in Cocodrie right now? Thanks.

June 24, 2010 at 9:31am

There is an add in the classifieds under house boats by someone called THE GREAT WHITE HUNTER. He did not leave any contact information. Does anyone know who this may be and their contact information? I am interested in the house boat but can't get in touch with the gentlemen. Thanks.

Anyone have any idea who does reel repairs on baitcasters? Jeff Brooks in New Iberia doesn't work on Pinnacles and Daiwa's. OCR in Lafayette doesn't do reel repairs any longer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Need some help locating a quality reel repair shop. I have 5 pinnacle and 5 Daiwa baitcasters to repair. I am in the Lafayette area. There is a guy in Breaux Bridge that repairs reel do any of you know his name and number? Thanks in advance.

Do any of you know of a chip that covers the basin in details such as the chips you can put into your GPS that shows the gulf coast in details, like reefs for example. I am looking for a detailed chip for the basin? Thanks in advance.

Where is the best place or what is the best way to obtain the latest state land map for the basin. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone been to the Vermillion Bay area the last couple of days. I was wondering what effect all the rain last weekend had on the water conditions and has anyone been catching anything?

November 30, 2007 at 1:08pm

Where can I find regulations (If there are any) for bowfishing on the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries web site?

Posting for a friend.

Currently he has a moultrie camera and it takes good pictures but uses a 35mm camera and is hard on batteries. He is not liking changing out the batteries so often, especially when it get's cold the temp takes it's toll on the battery life. He is interested in a camera with infared that doesn't have a flash but still takes quality night photos. He is also interested in a camera that employs a memory card so that he doesn't have to get film developed, but is battery friendly. Seeking good recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I have a camp I am looking into purchasing from a friend and before I make the commitment I wanted to get a better feel for the fishing in that area. Currently I fish the Vermillion Bay area and south of Marsh Island. I am interested in going to take a look at this camp but the main purpose of this camp will be a fishing camp. I was wondering if any of you guys fish this area regulary and is the Speckle trout and Red Fishing good?

August 29, 2007 at 2:15pm

I have only fished Cocodrie twice and both times were with a guide. I was thinking about pulling my boat down there this weekend. If you were a first timer there what would be your recommendation to catch some speckle trout?
Thanks in advance.

Do any of you guys know who I can send a Lowrance GPS unit to get repaired other then Lowrance itself? I'm tired of sitting on hold for hours at a time w/o speaking to anyone. Thanks in advance for your help.

July 24, 2007 at 1:06pm

My Lowrance GPS went out this weekend. I visited the Lowrance web site for help to get it shipped to Lowrance for repair. I attempted to get the RA number off the web site to ship the unit but didn't have any luck. It ask for the serial number of the unit and says it must contain 9 digits. My serial number only has 8 digits so it instructed me to add a 0 ahead of the serial number which I did. But still didn't have any luck. I then called the tech support group and I have now been on hold for 50 minutes without speaking to anyone yet. Have any of you had this problem historically? Any advice?

July 23, 2007 at 2:06pm

Anyone fishing Marsh Master rods? Are they a good rod for speckle trout fishing? Can you view and order them on line? I goggle seached MARSH MASTER RODS but didn't get any results. Thanks in advance.

July 02, 2007 at 1:19pm

Anyone been fishing out of Rollover past Pecan Island? Where do you launch and is it better red fishing or speck fishing?

June 05, 2007 at 1:31pm

WOW! the water conditions are terrible. We went to the mounds and the water is terrible.The water in Weeks bay is about the best you can find right now. Caughts some reds there Saturday. Sunday it got a little choppy in weeks bay and the water started to dirty up. Sunday we were on the search for bull reds on a scouting trip for an upcoming tournament. Went to the jaws and found chocolate milk. Fished a little while and caught two sharks. Anyone catching any bulls reds, I'm trying to locate some.

Hey Mike. When are we going to make a trip? Looks like you are on them. I am looking forward to the Houma Oilmans this year. I met you at the D&C camp last year. Do you go back offshore this week or did you just come in?
Take Care,

I have a question also. I have a squirrel dog and I am asking the deer hunters if they know of certain areas that have alot of oak trees or feed trees that they have seen alot of squirrels in this year. I made two hunts there last year but wasn't able to locate alot of good feed trees. Can you recommend a certain area. Thanks in advance for your help.

A comment titled: Lowrance repairs in response to a report titled: Lowrance Repairs

It's amazing that such a company with as much exposure as Lowrance has such low quality service. Yesterday I made three different calls and was on hold for an hour each call for a total of three hours on hold yesterday, finally gave up. Today I started all over again and finally after being on hold for 45 minutes I spoke to a human being (Imagine that). After 30 minutes of questioning the lady at the other end said for me to send $150.00 and it would take a few weeks to get my unit back, that's why I am asking if anyone knows where I can get my unit repaired other then by Lowrance please reply. Thanks a bunch.

A comment titled: Lowrance Problems in response to a report titled: Lowrance problems

I tell you it's frustrating sitting on the phone for over an hour listening to music (Could have at least been country)w/o being able to speak to anyone. Maybe Captain Paul can give us an inside phone number that we can reach a human being. I started this task at 8am this morning and I haven't made any progress all day.

Won't zoom in, defaults to overzoom,defaults to manover board and automatically saves those coordinates in my waypoints,lockups and defaults from the map screen to the nav screen. What a mess. I am still on hold over an hour now for Lowrance.

From St. Matinville it took me 2hours and 15 minutes to Heberts landing. I really liked the lake alot and the guy I fished with use to guide there so it was sort of a learing the lake journey but we did settle down in one area and managed to catch 16 specks. I have wanted to go back the last two weekends but the weather has been crappy.

A comment titled: Vermillion Bay in response to a report titled: vermillion bay

I haven't gone in a month. The fresh water has taken over. I wanted to fish so bad I drove to big lake two weeks ago. Caught 16 specks and 1 red. It was my first trip ever to big lake. Had a good time, I really liked the lake. I wish Vermillion Bay would get right, it's close to home. I am so ready to start catching some specks. Everyone East of us should really understand how blessed they are.They have been having the opportunity to catch specks the last two months. I envy those guys that have the salt H20 inland. Our water is so fresh right now. Can't wait to start reading reports of good fishing in Vermillion bay.

A comment titled: My Trick is to in response to a report titled: White trout turn to mush???

What I do is vacuum pack them. It eliminates the water issue and I thaw them in the ice box and they fry as good as fresh. Never mushy.
