I remember seeing my first BJ; 4 dudes were lined up for a mouth party before a tournament kick off. I was around 12? I just remembered being steered back to the boat and told not to tell my mother.


When I was 9, I killed one of Buzzy's pet ducks with a bb gun at 45 yards from a moving boat. He threatened to call WLF. Dad argued that he should have presented me with a trophy. Dad won. Anyway, i went home and told mom. She got mad at dad and it was then I learned that what happens at the camp or on a boat, stays on a boat.

OK newb. Let's get some things straight. First, cussing is legal here and encouraged. Asterisks are not necessary. Second, I'm the only one that can call my dad a dipshit. We clear?

I was talking to my brother-in-law about this place two weeks ago. I did not know it had been rebuilt. Awesome place.

Were any of yall member of the Taj down there?

Port Eades is where I grew up fishing. My dad started taking me when I was 5 so needless to say, he spoiled me for life.

I got a brochure on it but in Word form.

quote:

Features of the new marina include:
? 20,000 gallons diesel and 10,000 gallons gasoline and a state of the art refueling facility on South Pass, which will insure continuous fuel supplies during large fishing tournaments
? 1,800 pound icemaker
? 60,000 gallons potable water with a chlorinating system
? Two wastewater treatment plants at the facility
? Two camps on the riverfront with commercial kitchens and a capacity to sleep 64 people
? New 935 foot boardwalk connecting the riverfront camps to the marina
? 17,500 square foot front dock area with 1,500 linear feet of landing area and a commercial-grade weigh station
? New navigational markers for entry into South Pass

The marina slips will be available January 1, 2014, and annual slip contracts are being accepted now. For information, call Kelli Schilling at the Plaquemines Parish Office of Economic Development and Tourism at504-394-0088 or email kschilling@plaqueminesparish.com.
