What happened to the Sweetwater Marina reports?
There have been rumors that the Reggio Marina is closed and up for sale. Went down there today and talked to Mike there. The Reggio marina IS open and not up for sale. Disgruntled kayaker started this rumor but it is not true.The marina is open for use.
Have any of you guys had trouble with alligators smashing your decoys and eating your hard earned teal in Delacroix during teal season? Last September I had a 7 to 10 foot alligator smash 3 decoys and get both teal after I shot a rare double. He swam into my decoys and started nudging them( I assumed he was smelling them) with his nose. He then stayed there looking at me sitting in the grass. After 3 or 4 minutes he just started biting my decoys. I tried to scare him off with 2 shots but that did not faze him. Looked up and 2 teal were coming over the decoys. Boom! Boom! A rare double for me. Soon as they hit the water the gator made a bee line for them and got the 1st one then got the 2nd one. I was really PO. He stayed around for about an hour.No more teal came by and finally he left. Anyone had anything similar to happen to them in Delacroix? It seems every year I am seeing more and more and they are getting bigger and bigger.
Does anyone know if the yellow 'chair' rigs that were located NE of the MRGO short rocks before Katrina are still there? Looking to make a trip out there next month. Thanks for responding.
Capt Paul,can you recommend a good handheld marine gps that can use the chips sold at Sweetwater and Breton Sound Marinas? Need a handheld for the portability. Thanks
Does anyone know if a Suzuki prop will fit a Johnson motor and vice versa? Want to know if a 150 Suzuki prop will fit my 150 Johnson. Thanks to all.
Are any of you guys running a Bay Quest Boat? Looking for any feedback on likes,dislikes,ride,performance,etc. Thanks for replies.
Have any of you deer hunters used a Benz Silent Rider Muffler to quiet your Atv or know someone who has? I have a Kodiak 450 and it is a lot louder than other 4-wheelers. I would like to know if they really work before I go out and buy one. Thanks for any replies.
Does anyone know if the road to Delacroix is open and passable and if Lionel's back down ramp is open? What about the Reggio marina? Itching to make a teal hunt Mon or Tues.Thanks for responses.
Does anyone know where I can have the skeg replaced on the lower unit of a '99 115 Johnson or if it can even be replaced? Thanks for replies.
I sent Larry an email to his Wildlife & Fisheries email address.
I vote to leave SE LA in the coastal zone with a 2nd Saturday in November opener if possible.
PM sent
An email has been sent to you. Thanks
Mallard masher did you fry the teal with the skin on or off? I am gonna try it!
I know a lot of people are worried about their dogs and do not bring them during teal season but I am worried that one might try to get me as I hunt out of the grass with a pirouge. I know of 1 person who feeds a huge gator in the Bay Shallow area. It comes straight to his boat and is over 10 feet long. What can one do when hunting out of the grass? This is getting serious.
I am also concerned about the availability of non-ethanol gas. I e-mailed Senators Vitter and Landrieu and asked them to see if they can help convince the Chalmette Refinery to continue to make non-ethanol gas.
I talked to a gas station owner here in East N.O. that sells non-ethanol gas and he told me he will not be able to get any from the Chalmette Refinery after this week but will have non-ethanol gas shipped from Baton Rouge to his station for the next 3 months and see how the sales go. It will be a little higher because of the shipping. He said if sales are high he will continue to do it and if they are not high he will have to go to ethanol gas. The station is on the corner of Morrison Rd and Wright rd in East NO. At least for the next 3 months it will still be available.
Capt Kim. What are you using for bait---live or artificial?
Talked to a couple of friends who have been there and they said the launch is okay but the building that Mike stayed in will have to be rebuilt. The marshes were said to be okay except that a lot of widgeon grass was lost. Reported seeing no ducks on the east side of Reggio.Mike will put another box out for launch collections when he is not there.
It is very hard to get a lease,much less a good one.I will keep mine also.
I have heard so many horror stories about this place. Never been there and definitely will not go.Check out the reviews on this clown at www.huntinfo.com/reviews/outfitter. He must have new people every year.
Is Bo's prop service anywhere in the New Orleans area or where in southeast La?
Local Boy,where is belle river and do you have a contact # for Gaspards?
The skeg is completely gone all the way to the bottom of the bullet part of the lower unit. There is nothing to bolt a skeggard to. Any other suggestions?
