Re: GodsBeast
Hey Elmer, Do bring the Camera, you can see a lot of Wildlife, along the waterway, when puttering along. Right now, there are a lot of hunters, boating to one area or the other, they are respectful and helpful, and we are the same.<br />Point being, there is still some fishing going on, but they are more geared toward hunting now! That may drive some of the deer inward, but by March, they should be returning. In fact last month I saw 3 deer in one cruise, along one Bayou off of the Intercoastal. <br /><br />What type of boat are you bringing down? And if you want directions to Floyd's Marley Marina here they are: <br /><br />Leave B.R. westbound I-10 over New Mississippi River Bridge, again, take Plaquemine Exit Ramp, stay to left this time, and Merge onto La Hwy 1 southbound towards Plaquemine. Continue South, you will quickly cross the Intercoastal Canal bridge, go to the Third Red Light, which is in Brusly, take a right at that light. Go till that dead ends at a T intersection, "about a mile" and turn left, go around a 90 degree curve to the right, continue straight on that road, till it dead ends at Floyd's Marley Marina. <br /><br /> *Note after you go around that 90 degree curve to the right, you'll have two more good curves up ahead, and then you'll cross some Railroad tracks, then have a long straight away. Then another slight curve, Floyds Marley Marina will kind of POP UP on some folks all of a sudden after that curve, so slow down for all of those curves. There is a big reflective sign at the end of that road, and now, a guy has a large boat docked in the InterCoastal Canal, behind that sign, so you'll see it. In the course of many years, in the past, there have been a few folks that drove straight into the Water, but in most cases they were under the influence, in dark hours. 1 State Trooper took the plunge, responding as a back up officer to a situation back there years ago, but it was in the dark and he was not familiar with the area. They now have a bigger REFLECTIVE Warning Sign there now, because of that. <br /><br />There is some good Catfishing and Brim fishing in Bayou Chactaw, which is a Bayou, close to Floyd's, and in between Floyd's and the other Port Allen Ramp I told you about before. Some folks set out some quick Catfish lines, using foating 2 liter bottles, then cast a few lures, trying for a Bass, or Brim, or (Sack-a-lay, not sure of the correct spelling), then run back and check the bottle lines they set out, rebait, then cast a few more lines, and repeat. <br /><br />My wife even caught a Catfish on a beatle spin, w/a gold spinner. We also caught bass and brim on that same lure in this area. Floyds also has a old time Bar and Grill there, at the landing, and usually every Sunday has bands that play, and have Big Cookouts, Bar-b-que's and Gumbo's and Jambalaya's, most of those Sunday's also. <br /><br />It is a good Family orentated area. My complaint is, I like to get my boat loaded on Sunday evenings before dark, and get my Truck and boat parked where I can get out. Some of the Sunday night party folks, that are not in boats, don't always park properly around the boat<br />trailers. Floyd continues to try to keep the boats and trailers on one side, and the vehicles on the other, but Sunday is a busy evening, so don't park where you can get blocked in! <br /><br />Come and ENJOY!
