Salt water get together in Louisiana

[shadow]

Hey guys/gals here are a few dates to pick from for the salt water get together. These MAY be subject to change but these are the ones I have for now. We will go with what the majority wants. This is a public poll.

I would like to invite ALL that want to come. You don't have to be from Louisiana I would love to see some members from other states come down and enjoy some fishing,crabbing, and shrimping with us! I will post some pictures from previous gatherings a little later so yall will have an idea of what kind of BIG FUN we have!

Some pictures from the 2007 Salt Water Gathering.
The Crabs

The Shrimp

This wasn't caught at the gathering but was caught at the same place that we catch the shrimp and crabs!

This was also caught at another wier that we catch the shrimp and crabs at.

Another one, this one was caught at the same wier the red was caught at but at a different time.

This one was caught at the gathering and it was at yet another wier that we shrimp and crab at.

This is Jlaughlin's son (far right) and Jlaughlin (far left) and our wifes (his is the one with the arms raised) castnetting for shrimp at one of the wiers.



And if that is not enough to get yall to want to come, here is a few of the extras that you get.
Home made cooking!


I do have more pictues and will post some later but didn't want to bog down the members with dial up.

Where does this take place? In the lake Charles area? I live in the Houston area, so it would be pretty close. any other details?

There are a few RV campgrounds close or there are hotels in Lake Charles that you can stay at. There are a few rent houses at the lake but they start out at $135 a night, I believe. We usually do the crab boils at my house. Most people do bring there boats as the places that we go, you need a boat. If you decide you don't want to bring your boat there are a couple of places that I can show you to crab, but I would recommend bringing a boat.

I will try to get the #'s of the RV campgrounds when I get home or Johnny, if you are reading this maybe you can do a search for them and get them posted for me.

Yes, this takes place south of Lake Charles. I usually do the crab/shrimp boils/ fish fry at my house and we usually meet up at the lake or I have people follow me down to Rockafeller (Hour away from my house) to chase the shrimp and crabs. Sometimes we get lucky and don't have alot of wind and can do everything 5 minutes from my house at Calcasieu Lake (Big Lake as it is known by the locals).

Not a common fish to big lake although I did catch this one on the south end.
