Jack Miller's today

Well Prefers Shiners and I got out for a few hours this morning. Neither one of us knew much about the area, think we were in the area sacalaitDA told me about a while back. We managed to catch about 12 or so, mixed bag. Kept 2 sac's and one goggle. On jigs, the usual blue/white, black/chart. Could hardly believe Bruce said no shiners. lol. I even had the bait bucket ready!! Anyway, no pix. Found a guy who had 2 small bass and gave him our 3. Good times, and we even told a few true stories, between the lies. HaHa.

Thanks for the invite......in spite of the slow bite, I had a good time....love your boat.....quite.....we gotta do it again sometime.....

Glad to hear ya'll had a good time. I know what it was, the reason ya'll only kept three. Ya'll were saving them for the rest of us. THANKS!

Like dat.

Glad you'll had a good time either way.

Sounds like fun... glad yall found a few.

Like yall I aint been there in years I remember back in the day Jack millers was a happening place with a rocking bar and weekend boat races. I worked on a boat that brought crude oil to the tank battery on grand river . it was nice there and I caught lots of fish around there. Way back in the 70's I was a tankerman on a boat that worked there the Captain raised shiners in the front void of the boat.:biggrin It was a great place to go camping too a high point with some big trees and st Augustine grass growing under it. I used to love fishing Grand, the superior canal and the flats. Thanks for the reminder I should go check the place out. Is the marina still open and do they sell shiners or will I have to down grade to jigs or import minnows from a good bait stand:Rofl

Always a good day when you can go fishing.

Was the dock next to the landing still underwater or has the water gone down some?

south side about 3" above the water.....north side underwater.....

Cappy, we did not go in the store.(not a bar anymore) So I don't know if they sell bait. Public launching, but not the easiest. Real tight.

I like that report...I remember the tank battery too Cappy! Some of the pillings are still there, but the water has to b really low to see'm! They still hold fish sometimes too. Still have a lot of nice camps in that area too...Good hunting around there.
Good fishing to all!!

The bar is now next door to the store.....good burgers there....and I am a connoisseur of burgers......:)

Deer hunting usta be good and those big red fox squirrels were every where. Working back there I had keys to get to that ole atnk battery and could drive there. Had many a nice picnic on the point there caught many bass against the rocks behind the dock and pylons lots of Sacs around the pylons and close by tree tops. good cat fishing from the point where the grand meets the superior canal. I then worked my way up to Captain and got transfered to venice. But really had a ball back in the 70s and early 80s working the upper basin.

Cappy:
The store is on the left side of the building and a smoke free bar is on the right side. They have steak night on Thursdays but they're so, so. Jo-Jo's in Lobdell are much better and bigger. There's no live bait there, only a small selection of jigs, etc. If you want live, stop at Kyle's Express (old Dickies) in town. The new Circle K has non-ethenol on the outside pumps only and Kyle's and Jack Miller's also have it.
Do a Google map search for 61755 Bayou Rd, 70764. That's the arena I manage and there's a nice ramp across the street from there. I launch there because it's never crowded. I run Bayou Plaquemine to the Intracoastal and turn left to Jack Millers. My boat runs 33 mph and it take me 12 minutes to Jack Miller's. I don't fight that tight little ramp and sometimes the other people there are just plain rude. I don't tolerate stupid. - Paul

Thanks for the heads up on the ramp, Paul. 20 ft boat and dually truck is tight at JM's.
