Does anyone know what the fine is for not having a life jacket for every person in the boat? I got stopped today by Wildlife and Fisheries and was short one PFD. I should have checked before I left the landing, but didn't and got burned. I normally keep 5 in my boat but took 2 out for the kids to use for another purpose. I was in violation of the law and W&F have zero tolerance for no life.... Read More

The water is just getting right. The water needs to come up a little more to flood the woods and warm up and these guys will be on fire. Caught these in an old spot I had not fished in long time. Good to see that the hurricans did not kill everything. Largest fish weighed about 5 lbs. Plan on going back this Sunday.

Finally made it out on the water today. Dodged rain storms all day long, but was able to catch a few flatheads. Largest weighed 8 lbs. Lost one at the boat that was close to 20 lbs. Did not get the net on him quick enough. The water is still a little too high, the current needs to slow down and the water needs to come out of the woods some more before they will really start to run.

Ran a few lines today. Caught a few nice ones, not as good as last week. Water in the river is really high with lots of current. I think a little to much current. I only fished from noon until dark, had to get home for some honey do's around the house. Will be back out Monday morning.

Ok Guys,Need advice.
My 1990 150 Yamaha 150 (3000 Hrs) has finally died. I was going to buy another 2 stroke Yamaha, but according to a couple of Yamaha dealers they will discontinue the 2 stroke carbed motors in 2008. I guess I will need to go with a 4 stroke. Comparing Yamaha, Hondas and the new Etech Evinrudes. Really like the Hondas,but they are expensive.
The Evinrudes are very new and I.... Read More

I took my boat out this weekend a noticed my steering was very sluggish and very weak turning to port. I never had any issues with the system in the past and cannot find any leaks. The fluid in the helm is full and all connections are tight. Any ideas? I am located in Lafayette. I may have to put it in the shop. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the Lafayette area to repair?

Caught a few more Flatheads today. These are perfect frying size. The trotline gremlins are out early this year. Someone not only found and ran my line, but help themselves to it when they were done. I suspect it had a few large fish on it. That is the line I caught the 2 flats that went over 10-lbs Friday. The stealing of fish and lines normally does not start until summer. Oh well, not....

Went set some limb lines in the flooded woods off of the main river. Here are the results. Would have re-baited and stayed the rest of the day but the rain and lightning got bad. Will try again Friday night.

Made a trip to the spillway looking for Sac-a-lait. Fished in Bayou Long, the Williams and in and around Pigeon. Only caught 2 small ones. The water was nice in Pigeon and in most areas although it is atill a little high and has much current. Most of the canals are still flowing into the woods. If the river keeps on a slow fall the fishing will pick up. Back offshore for work. Will try again on.... Read More

Capt. Paul,
I recently purchased a Garmin GPSMAP172C. I really enjoy it and think it is a great unit for the money, but I recently noticed a problem. I went fishing last week during the recent warm weather and noticed that after about 4 to 5 hours of operation in direct sunlite my screem faded completely out. I was not able to see or use the brightness to correct the view. I did notice that the.... Read More

THE HEAT the cause
.
~ Captain Paul's response to: ~ Basinmaster ~
The Garmin GPSMAP 172C uses Color Super Twisted Nematic (CSTN) technology in the display screen. In CSTN Technology, the pixels in the display are actually 3 separate colored pixels. One Green one Blue and one Red. Each of those colors are controlled individually by the graphic controller chip. The CSTN pixels respond to heat and a very minute electrical current. This allows the unit to operate longer on battery power. It is a way of making a color screen display at low cost. Although the ambient air temperature was between 75° and 80, ° I bet the top of the unit was too hot to touch. The heat is what is causing the problem.
I had several black and white hand held units behave exactly as you describe when I was stopped for a while. Fortunately after covering the unit for a few minutes, the screens reappeared.
I had my wife sew a piece of elastic on the edge and the corners of a small WHITE hand towel. Basically the elastic made a circle on one edge of the towel. I then placed the elastic over the top and behind the unit. This allows me to be able to flip the towel to the rear when under way, and when stopped, flip the towel towards the front of the unit. The elastic holds the towel on the top of the unit out of the way towards the back of the unit and at the same times allows you to completely cover it when needed.
While this solved the problem, it does not solve the inheirted charasticicts of that type of screen pixel technology.
Please let me know what Garmin tells you.

I am in the market for a new bay boat. I am looking to get a custom hull built. I have gotten quotes from Scullys, Hankos, and Ivy. Prices quoted are about the same. Hankos seems to be the most popular hulls I see out on the water.
I am leaning torwards a Hankos Hull.
Plans are on an 18.5 foot CC with a 6 foot bottom, powered by a new Evinrude E-Tech 115.

My son and I caught these fish Sunday in Henderson.
Caught all fish right next to the trees and grass on jigs.
Man, it was hot, and the weekend warriors were out in force.
