1378.0. "New Orleans Need Info??" by WJOUSM::BOURGAULT () Thu Apr 05 1990 09:20

    I will be going down to Decus in May with my wife( she has to work till
    5:00 P.M. everyday). So I will have some time on my hands. I'm looking
    for some information on lakes close to New Orleans that have Bass
    fishing and boat rentals. Close=( 1 HOUR TRAVEL DISTANCE ). I have 
    written to Bassmasters and all the areas they identified are in the 
    western part of the state. Any info or contacts will be appreciated.
    If anyone has some spare time Tues,Weds,of that week is invited to come
    along.

Yeah...let me know too!  DonMac and I are planning to head down to Dallas 
the week before to hit Lake Fork, then head on to DECUS on the weekend.  
We'll both have our tackle with us, so we'd like to know if any of those 
canals or bayous nearby are worth spending the time.

    Joe,
    
    If chew gonna git in on the cheep airlines faires, chew better git dem
    now!! Chew want Southwest Airlines, dere bout $25-30 verses ~$250 if
    chew wait. Chew hab to buy an pay for chore ticket at least 21 days
    before chew fly.
    
    De onlyest place don near N'awlins is False Riber. Its lak a bayou,
    only longer. Pretty country, but no publick fishin places an I dunno
    jes who ob my frans an cousins still hab a place don dere. Not all dat
    gud fishin an none ob dem hybreeds!!
    
    Deres all kind ob choices, chew kin always use my place, but if chew
    wanted to chew kud fish Fork and drive don an fish Toledo Bend or Lake
    Livingston(near Houston) or eben furthur south, Cameron for salt water,
    or Galveston. Roun chere(witin drivin distance) deres Lake Ray Hubbard,
    Lake Tawakoni, Caddo Lake, Possum Kingdom, Lake Lewisville, Lake Ray
    Roberts, Lake Texahoma, Tyler Lake, Lake Whitney, Cedar Creek Lake, Lake
    Palestine, Lavon Lake, Lake Grapevine, and Eagle Mountain Lake. Dere ALL
    open water lakes an Lake Fork is de only wun wit trees to speak ob.
    
    Best chew decide de transportation now so chew kin git de bes faires an
    work frum dere. I'll go anywhere near chere or to de camp if chew want
    so de transportation aroun chere won be a problem.

1378.3My GOD is that a Gar or what?MCIS5::WIERSUMThe Back Deck WizardFri Apr 06 1990 16:0913
    
    
    Well boys,
    
    Ifin my memory serves me right, Just drive about 50 minutes toward
    Missippi and stp at the Jordon River or the thcuticablouf river.
    I have fished both of those rivers and hhave had good luck and a great
    time every time out.  I'm sure with some creativity you can find someone 
    with a boat to let.  My Missippi conection moved to Florida.
    I wish I was goin.
