2006 Shootout

Wildcat26 · July 01, 2005, 08:56:09 AM

I got some information about Lake Fausse Pointe to share. Fausse Point is on the west side of the Atchafalaya Basin near St Martinville and New Iberia.
Last couple of miles are gravel road but 95% of the trip for everyone would be on interstate highways. Cabins are built on the water with docks. Park has over 4,000 acres of water.

What was the other site mentioned? I would like to gather some info on it.

I check on Fausse Pointe yesterday. The Lake is seperate from the basin but the basin is not far away. So if the lake was not the place we wanted to fish, the launch into the basin is not far. The only thing is the cabins book very fast. I checked yesterday for the months of February and March and there are only a few cabins available on a couple of weekends. There are 18 cabins according to the website but the lady at the reservation center said there are 16. So basically we need to make a decision on this soon. The other two places we had in mind was the Calcasieu River and Toledo Bend.

Toledo Bend...

DALE HOLLOW

Jared LeBlue · July 01, 2005, 09:46:29 AM

I don't how I just knew Mike Noble would love the idea of Toledo Bend.

Sorry Mike, we are just looking at the places that have cabins close by and enough of them that it's not going to be a worry. By Wednesday night we will have pick one of these three places.

Wildcat26 · July 01, 2005, 09:47:56 AM

Dawg come down and fish a shootout then the next year you might get to name the lake.

DAWG · July 01, 2005, 09:51:03 AM

Sorry guys i was thinking about the Ralley

Mike Cork · July 01, 2005, 09:51:40 AM

Dawg you can still fish the shoot out and if you win you get to take it to your home waters

Mike Noble · July 01, 2005, 09:52:50 AM

Ummmm....before you select Toledo Bend...what about the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, or Pacific Ocean....about as much bass catching there as The Bend.

What about the east side of the state....Concordia, St. John, Bruin.

I am already planning on being there next year

Wildcat26 · July 01, 2005, 10:24:46 AM

Rattle, since we are only have one tournament a month now maybe we can get up a cookie jar tournament and try our Fausse some weekend.

Rickoos · July 01, 2005, 10:28:36 AM

Can we go too?

Ricky

Wildcat26 · July 01, 2005, 10:34:01 AM

Sure - but you have to fish with a 5 lb penalty because you are in the wrong club!

Jared LeBlue · July 01, 2005, 11:04:44 AM

I may ride down there on Monday and take a look at it.

Rickoos · July 01, 2005, 03:49:40 PM

Wildcat,

wait until I tell Merila on you.......

No more coffee & rolls w/ butter for you in 2006.........

Ricky

5 lbs., that's tough buddy......

Wildcat26 · July 01, 2005, 04:26:36 PM

Wait

for rolls I will cut that down to a 2 lb penalty.

Pferox · July 02, 2005, 08:23:14 AM

Heck, for Feb and March, you can check out Lake Toho, or Kississimmee. Places like Camp Mac, Camp Lester, can't remember the other ones around. It would like bein in a almost summer oasis.

And then I can come and officiate, another way of sayin watchin how the pros do it.

Heck I don't see why Lockjaw would not pick Cross lake.

dave the dope man · July 02, 2005, 04:59:20 PM

I have a question for the Lockjaw guys...Does calcasieu open into the basin?....Dave

I have been looking at the maps and was wondering??....Dave

Jared LeBlue · July 02, 2005, 05:35:27 PM

Dave, the Calcasieu River goes all the way down to the Gulf but it does not touch the Basin. We put the off limits on the Calcasieu at the Salt Water Barrier. But believe me even with south of the barrier being off limits there is no way you could run out of area to fish. There is tournament coming up in August, which Mike Cork is surpose to come down and fish with me, that has over 600 anglers that fish it, and even with those numbers there is plenty of water to fish.

dave the dope man · July 02, 2005, 08:15:16 PM

Rattle, I was looking at the map and noticed all the area that the river and river basin area covered. I agree, its very large, and has so many chutes, and bayou's, that there should be enough area for a large number of anglers. You know last year we only had 3 or 4 teams fish the area and from the reports the cabins were nice. Based on this, I don't see why you guys shouldn't schedule the '06 Shootout for the calcasieu again. It is your decision ultimately, but if it is convient, easily accessible, plenty of water, and has the room for the amount of people wanting to attend, why not.........My two cents....Dave

Jared LeBlue · July 02, 2005, 10:08:40 PM

Dave, it's obviously one of the top choices for us but the only thing that concerns me is the flooding at that time of the year. If we have some heavy rainfalls around the time of the tournament, it's going to be tough and I mean tough.

dave the dope man · July 02, 2005, 10:12:04 PM

I gotcha Brother, I was just adding my two cents. If there is anyway in which I can help you all, shoot me an e-mail or IM. WE could upset Mike N and nominate Toledo Bend, He's not on tonight and won't know till tommrow

....Dave

Jared LeBlue · July 02, 2005, 10:13:57 PM

Yep, he's already stressing that we even have it up for thought.

dave the dope man · July 02, 2005, 10:17:12 PM

I know. I can hear him now "I ain't going to Toledo Bend". I am so enjoying this......Dave
