Ernest, myself, and SSNJOHN are leaving at first light Friday for Port Eads, La, 30 miles downriver from Venice. Ernest was kind enough to let me tag along for this years Uncle Vic Invitational for Bertram owners and guests. I hope to be able to help Ernest catch piles of marlin, dolphin, tuna, etc. I'm a pretty good deckhand and skipper.
I don't remember being this excited before a trip. Lots of logistics and planning by Ernest will, I think, foretell of a great trip to one of the great locations for gulf coast bluewater fishing. The 100 fathom line is only 7 miles from our headquarters at the New Orleans Big Game fishing club in Port Eads. No roads lead into or out of town, no plumbing, no fancy anythings. Access is by air or boat only. My kind of place.
We are headed over by boat to Intracoastal city, La. Friday night, and on into port Saturday if everything goes according to plan. I'm hoping Murphy and his backasswards law stays clear of us this next week and 1/2. I think SSNJohn is planning to somehow post some reports from the water, he's a heck of alot smarter than I am. If not, I'm sure we'll give a rundown when we return on the 28th. Here's a link to the 2002 event-Tom
