tricked ya, not quite a fishing report, but figured since a lot of yall fish this area you might be able to tell me an estimated distance to greens cut from say fat boys or bayou vista. i have a 16' john boat with a 6 gallon tank, would like to try fishing there, but think i may need extra gas to get there and back. i fish a lot around jones and the marsh behind there, always wanted to go a little farther, just seems a lot farther than i think i have the gas for. thanks. MIKE

I dont have the distance handy, but I can reference my gps later tonight.

I've been in your same shoes before. I used to run a 14' jon with a 9.5 horse. We launched from louis (hwy6 and highland bayou) and made it to greens cut and back on 6 gallons of gas.

I now run a wider 14'52" flat bottom with a 40 horse, and still make it to greens and back on 6gals (note: the 40 horse gets there much faster and eats gas like its candy compared to the 9.5). I usually have about a 1/4 tank to spare after running to greens and poking around in Jones.

I usually dont notice much difference in drive time between launching from Fat Boys and launching from Louis. (louis might be slightly shorter)

Louis is slighty closer and I think 6gallons should be plenty but if your concerned get a 2.5 gallon can for a reserve.

just did a rough calculation using google earth, it looks to be about 6 miles from louis to greens cut and about 6.5 from fatboys to greens cut

the fishing reports board is for reports only

If we make sure he gets there and back, we might get a fishing report!

sorry about that, i forgot all about the general board. i dont spend much time south of the blue water board, even though i own a shallow water boat. i use it mainly for catching offshore bait and flounder run. since we are on greens cut/lake, is it possible or any good fly fishing back there. i am thinking about taking that up instead of the conventional method. if only i was back stateside to spend some summer time on the water instead of here in stinky africa again. thanks again for the info.
