I would make something. Put a valve on it so you can drain it. Especially if you’re not finding one cheap. I’d imagine they will charge a fortune cause it’s boat related. I see ads for that flush master timer deal and see it as something to sell rich people lol

You know I thought the same thing about that place Devin. Like great location and but there isn’t much space for a boat to maneuver once in the water. Or tie up. It’s still better than it used to be. And better than waiting to launch at south shore.
**edit** if you got a 30’ deep draft boat, this launch isn’t for you. It’s maybe 3’ in the tie up areas. Power poles stop at a 90° so is shallow.
You saw that old military boat? I think that isn’t staying there and that will be used for additional tie up space but I could be wrong. (If it were my place I’d move all the boats by the ice machine and make that open dock space, I understand why that isn’t happening though).
They are building a second launch that’s what all that construction is. Owner said they left that flat bed truck almost blocking the launch. One thing I hate at all these launches is the gravel muddy parking lots. Probably less of an issue on a carpeted boat, but it makes it impossible to keep your non skid decks clean
The owner seems like a nice guy. When I’ve brought kids and bought shrimp he hooked it up. Since they are catching them via wing nets, it doesn’t cost them like it does the marinas that have to buy them from a shrimper.
I know one thing coming back into that place on a falling tide shows just how hard the current is ripping out of chef pass.
Anyways, hope yall had a good one

Wait how big is that fish in the first pic? Looks like a monster
-
Used my last 5 tags that day.

@devin if you launched there today we almost crossed paths because I just got home from there lol
-
There has to be bigger fish being caught… i see them posting them on facebook… I had a pretty regular poster on the rigolets page tell me that “all the fish being caught in lake pontchartrain were OVER 20″…. i dont believe that for a second. But theres gotta be more big fish being caught… i suck at fishing and ive gotten a few 20″+ fish this year
-
After seeing Marshmans and “Jar fishing’s” videos, and now your report, I can share my reports lol. Was hoping yall would keep posting videos from other places talking about how lake p estuary hasn’t had good fishing lol Can’t keep a “secret” for long anymore. (I know it’s far from a secret)
-
Good luck. Its that time of year!
-
Beautiful fish there man. I WISH i could get on this class of fish during the summer. I need to get comfortable launching from like venice, that way i can comfortably run to breton island and such. Ive fished all the outsides of the east and middle biloxi marsh but havent made it further than that.

Think it was on the 5th, I was catching them with what appeared to be trout tails hanging out their gullets*. Some of the smaller ones had shrimp in their mouth, I think the big ones were picking off the little fish that were feeding on shrimp.
-
I know right?!? Hence why I said in my other post asking people what their largest one was this year, that I need a scale to weigh them. Some really fat fish that day. Got 2 more reports to post. Just takes me so long to do. Hopefully I can do post them today

Thanks

Ah okay. Sounds like a summer trip for me, burning that gas lol. Always an adventure out there

Yeah I recently did all my bearings. My stupid trailer has a one piece rotor/hub. So replacing that on 4 wheels was stupid expensive. I’ve said it before, they build these trailers like they build RV’s, just well enough to keep them together till the warranty period ends, then they fall apart.
-
Yeah I try to get most of this done in February, I just hate being without my boat. I got the trim going out on my motor for the second time in 4 years. Need to bring it back before February. And my less than a year old trolling motor, is doing a weird thing where it surges power… it literally never ends.
I know I’m not the only one dealing with boat related issues, wish more people shared their repairs so we could all learn from them. If it’s DIY maintenance/repairs, no big deal, if I gotta bring it somewhere like I do with the trim unit, or trolling motor that’s under warranty, it’s always A PITA! Dealing with boat shops sucks
