I graded the yard now one area of the house is to low. I talked to a company out of New Orleans they blow sand and grade it may spend the money now I’ve been pumping it out with an automatic bildge it goes off after it rains all gutters are good to go

I have an elevated house about 2 feet off the ground I get water under there all the time trying to figure out if there’s a company in the Baton Rouge area that pumps sand under the house or if there’s anywhere I can rent a pump

I would be happy to show you the inside of the bilges I have two bildge pumps on each side. The boat is foam filled so it cannot sink I did a commercial one day with the plugs out on a different twin vee catamaran to prove that fact for Twin Vee. I rewire the entire boat every two years just to make sure that we don't have problems when we're fishing every day not because it needs it because I am very strict about preventative maintenance . It is not a 31 foot twin vee nor has it ever been that is a completely different style boat. I did take on some water in the marina one day which was easily pumped out, one of the bolts that was not installed by me but by a certified Yamaha shop that holds the engine on snapped and water steadily came into the boat through the night and the bildges were having trouble keeping up with it I pulled it out the water fixed the situation and was able to fish two days later after I sea triled it and made sure everything was okay And had no problems the rest of the summer. We are actually rewiring the entire boat and I change my racours out every year and the fuel filters every 100 hours along with an oil change for both the engine and lower unit oil. So please from now on find out the facts before you bash somebody on the Internet. If you don't want to go with me because I don't buy a brand new boat every year I totally understand but I've had thousands of customers that Have been happy and plenty of clients that Have fished with me for over 20 years now and enjoy their trip every time.

This is Lance Walker with fish commander charters I runs around 150 trips a year. In the last 10 years his boat has broke down 2 times offshore. Both times it was a lower unit. The boat has a spare lower unit at the camp so that it can be changed out that night and make sure the clients don't miss out on there trip the next day. The boat gets new engines every 3 years. It gets maintained every 100 hours. I apologize that you missed out on part of your trip if that was the case. It cost thousands of dollars a year maintaining a boat and most guides do everything thing they can to make sure the boat is ready because they don't make money sitting at the dock. I spend countless hours working on the boat sometimes not finishing until minutes before the trip. My boat was on the Yamaha commercial for having the best maintained engines in the gulf. Again I work extremely hard both on and off the boat to make sure everyone has a trip of a lifetime if that was not the case again I apologize feel free to contact me I would be happy to make it up to you.

Why would you rather advertise . I brought you where we didn't see a fish. If you know the fish are there they just didn't bite one day, that doesn't mean they won't be hungry and bitting the next. A fishing charter is the opportunity to catch fish. They obviously had the opportunity if the fish were all around them. I'd much rather hear about seeing hundreds of fish rolling than nothing at all. I'm just trying to get people to understand that 90% of the charter captains do everything in there power to catch fish and they want to catch fish. They wouldn't be in business if they didn't. Also do your research. Call the marina ask the charter service about one of the other guides you may not always get an honest answer but if you asked me about another captain I would be honest. I'm not going to bash anyone over the internet. But know what to expect. I have guys that tell me they want to catch 20 different species. That's impossible even if I ran 100 mph and fished with 12 poles. I've caught my clients tons of fish but didn't catch one species and they bashed me on the internet . I just thank the guys that bash most of these charter boats have no idea the work load and pressure we are under every day. Just remember next time your are fortunate enough to go on a charter that it's the opportunity to catch fish and if you can't appreciate a day on the water away from work then don't go. Life is too short to worry about what you didn't catch, appreciate the fact you were able to go in the first place because a lot of people aren't that fortunate.

Headed out of Grand Isle Saturday on the 60 hatteras. Seas were nice. We ended up with 6 yellowfin tuna. Caught some blackfin tuna, amberjack, grouper, and a bunch of porgies. There was a lot if scattered grass offshore. Blue water was about 50 miles.

Get the shimano I am a charter boat captain out of grand isle. I brought an Okuma rep out and Broke 3 reels out the box on the first trip. I was given 3 more of there most expensive spinning reels and they were all broke In less than 2 months. Okuma didn't warranty any of them. I have the same shimano reels for ten years and they still work.
OKUMA is GARBAGE

I run charters out of Grand isle it's blowing 40 kts right now but it should calm down by Friday and be good for the weekend. Paradise outfitters runs an incredible charter service. Captain Hunter and Captain Scott are two of the best guys to fish with in the Gulf. Good luck this weekend we are taking out the new 60 foot Hatteras Saturday for its first charter.
