I know its way too early,but just decided to put this out there so we can throw it around a little.
What about having a South La. gathering at Lake Fausee Pointe State Park? I know that there are plenty of North and Central La members who have never fished the Atch. basin.
When to have it? That's the scary part,that river is unpredictable.I was thinking about mid to late October,before the hunting season really gets started and the temps are starting to cool.Thoughts and comments welcome:D
Marty, with that time and place, you couldn't keep me away with a stick!
Might even bring along a little redfish sauce piquant if PPG would bring the rice!

Sounds great to me.....I'm good for maybe chicken & sausage jambalya or spagetti and meat sauce.....drove over there one day just checking the place out but never fished the west side of the basin.....might have to call in some IOU's for some honey hole locations.......I don't think you could keep PPG away......shoot, he will probably be retired by then.....

Long wAys but I'd bribe JR for boat time with some Dos Equis. Depending on crowd size I could bring some creole blackened reds.

I would be very interested in this one. I have never fished the basin for sacs......
Sounds like a winner to me. But, I would probably need someone from south Louisiana to fish with me to keep me from getting lost in the "Basin." LOL And, I love all of those foods yall have mentioned. HeHeHe.
That's what I was thinking too! But I'd put some fresh batteries in the GPS just in case! :)Quote:

Fausse Point State Park is a real nice park. With the park as the base camp one can either go into Lake Dautrive, Lake Fausse Point, Benoit Landing, Sandy Cove Landing, Charenton Landing and even Henderson is about 40 minutes away. Fishing success in the basin will depend on the water level at that time. We could even drive over to the bay and catch some red fish.
Crawfish won't be around but the crabs should be plentiful for a crab boil if people wanted one. At one time in my life I knew the basin like my ownback yard but it has been so long since I went into it I will need some help also. That is the main reason I never suggested a South LA gathering. I really do not know any real good spots anymore.
Fishing will get real good aroung the end of February or begining of March in shallow water under a cork.
I think I will plant a tracking devise on Jig Rig's boat........LOL......I went to one of my secret honey holes last week and there was a sign on a stick.....said..."jig Rig was here"....Quote:

I see 55 for Baton Rouge and 57 for Morgan City...anything above 40 is OK for me...just would not get there at daylight.....I have not fished the west side of the basin....Old River at Morganza might be OK....I caught 3 bass today at Belle River.....2 @ 15" and one at 17".....lots of eggs....Quote:

SneakyPete asked me to post this picture for everyone to see what the cabins at Fausse Pointe look like. He did say that there wasn't a store close so to bring everything you might need.

Thanks DW, looks like you could catch fish right under you cabin. Can you acccess the basin in your boat from the lake?Quote:

Might be something that I would be interested in attending.. lets see where it goes. I look at that water along I-10 at the Basin everytime I go towards Baton Rouge and always wanted to fish it.
im in on this one...i live down the road.....im in for duck and sausage gumbo or deer gravy.......i missed the last gathering.
Jr - that's negative. The lakes/park are on the west side of the basin's levee. However, the park is only a short distance from the Bayou Benoit landing, which permits access into the basin.Quote:

Count me in!
I'm in let me know what dates I could go in either boat ranger bass boat or Prodrive and hit some back waters
I'm in! If someone has a spot on a boat that would be nice, otherwise I'll be the one in a kayak looking for a place to slip in off the side of the road next to your honey hole. I wanted to make the gathering up north but couldn't put it together. If I can manage a few trips I can probably bring some specs to fry up for the potluck styled cookout that's shaping up. I'd make a rice and gravy but I'm almost out of deer and will probably be bare before this happens. }:-(
I'm in guys. I'm still trying to figure out these damn cajun fish.. I don't think they like yankees..lol. Been down here almost 2 yrs and still can't find any fish. But the scenery is nice. And my fish detector lies too..
