Thread: No Sac, but Good Entertainment

Nice red! I hear you on being good at one thing and not the other. Same with me, saltwater fishing is no problem. I may starve if I had to depend on catching crappie.

I am not positive but I am willing to bet he put in at Joesph's harbor and yes boats are allowed and needed if you want to get to the better fishing/crabbing/shrimping. Joesph's harbor is off of hwy 82 between grand chenier and pecan island. There is a east and a west launch. I usually put in at the west launch b/c I know that area better.

always an answer and i thank you all for the info. it helps because part of the adventure of fishing is join to new places....places i've heard of a lot and never been....that's fun...this forum makes it easier and less stressful. thanks again.

anybody use iCloud here and when u save something to it how do you find it?

Hey Vet -
If I may expound a bit on Dwyane's info.
It takes me just under two hours to get from Cade to Joseph Harbor. I mention that because of some regulations. First, you cannot access the east launch before official sunrise. Second, while you can launch your boat off the west launches before sunrise, you cannot pass the signs until that time. That drive-time prevents me from sitting in my truck waiting on the sun to come up!
I strongly suggest that you are compliant in all departments - boating, fishing, licensing, etc. And remember, it is all a wildlife refuge, so please treat it as such.
And bring your camera - there is a LOT of pic-material out there!
Bon chance.

Just curious, can I pitch a cast net out and bring in all the shrimp I want? Or, is there regulations on that as well?

Once the shrimp seasons open, you can have 25 pounds per BOAT! Otherwise, I believe you can have 5 pounds - again, per BOAT!

And 12 dozen crabs per BOAT!

And I believe the whole place is off-limits between 1 December and 15 March, but I'd check on that.
