Dear Capt. Paul:

I recently wrote to you about the data card on my Garmin 182c not reading, and you posted the article in the April Louisiana Sportsman magazine. I am writing today to give you the results.

The Mardi Gras rig is a favored trout hotspot for anglers heading out of Cocodrie during the summer. Correct coordinates needed:

Dear Capt. Paul:

I have a new camp in Cocodrie, and I’m learning the area. I was hoping to hit some of the shallower rigs for a few lemonfish and perhaps even some snapper.
Do you have the coordinates for the Mardi Gras and EnStar rigs that are supposed to be near the shoreline?
What resources do you have available for us in the way of charts, waypoints, etc?

Thanks a million.

Having an older GPS go down usually means purchasing a new unit, since only the manufacturers work on them — and might 
no longer support some models. Data card dilemma
April 08 at 9:00 am
Dear Capt. Paul:
I have a Garmin 182c that is not reading the data card with topo map source on it. I have two friends who have the same unit, and their units are reading my data card. I tried their cards in my unit, and my unit does not read their cards. I called Garmin and they sent me the data card 6.0 update to update my unit but it would not work in my unit, so I called them back and was told the data card reader in my unit is bad and they no longer support this unit. I was wondering if you know anyone who can fix the unit or where I may get another unit secondhand because I have all the attachments and really like the unit. This unit was purchased in 2001. I just thought maybe you had a good idea on what to do since I like the unit so much.

The Sackett Bank — or the Midnight Lump, as it is most-often called — offers predatory fish easy feeding opportunities. That makes the Lump a great fishing spot. Finding and fishing the Midnight Lump

If you are interested in line-breaking tuna and other large species in the Gulf of Mexico, then you should at least try the Midnight Lump.

Dear Capt. Paul:

I recently bought a used Garmin GPSMAP handheld to use in my kayak so that I can find my way into and out of the marches, as I fly fish. It came with the old BlueChart MicroSD data card for the Mobile to Lake Charles area that is dated July 2008. Would I be wise to upgrade to the new BlueChart G2 chip, or what other mapping programs are available for the unit?

Dear Capt. Paul:

I hunt public property, and use my Garmin Oregon 450t constantly. I have the map provided from the management area pamphlet overlayed on my unit, but only main trails are shown on it.

Popup boat blinds are great tools for duck hunters looking to attract more ducks into shooting range, but there are some tricks that will maximize their hunting success.

Dear Capt. Paul,

Can you give me the GPS locations of the Blind Faith and Thunder Hawk rigs and any other coordinates you may have for areas to fish yellows out there?

Don’t trash waypoints to rigs that have been removed because there could be fish-attracting trash scattered on the bottom of the Gulf. Lost platform
September 01, 2012 at 7:00 am
Dear Capt. Paul:

I’m trying to locate a small satellite platform I used to enjoy fishing located in ST63 block. It shows up on my GPS as an icon that was already on my map card; therefore, I never saved it as a waypoint. It’s been removed and I’m unable to locate it by using my sonar. Question is: I’m not sure if it was made into a reef or if it would have been removed all together. Is there any site that would show or have information on recently removed structures as this one? The only thing I’ve got on it is what automatically shows up on the icon on my GPS, which is ‘Murphy-105-6’. Any help would be appreciated.
