Vernon Lake
Live in Luling. Cataoutche is in my back yard so thats where I spend most of my time of course. Recently joined Stump Bumpers bass club.
I have a bass tournament to fish in the basin out of Morgan City in October. Are there maps available of the areas that can be fished? Boat ramps to use? Where can this information be found? Etc, etc. As you can tell I've never fished the basin.
Any help would be appreciated!
Ranger 47,
I know of two landings for the basin in Morgan City. One is Doiron's landing (outside of the basin levee) and the other is Adam's landing (basin side of the levee). Academy should have maps of the basin although not very detailed. If you have a GPS that takes a Navionics card, you can get a card for the Gulf of Mexico that will provide good navigation and names of canals and lakes from Henderson Lake all the way down to the Gulf.
DOIRONS AND ADAMS LANDING HAVE A LANDING ON BOTH SIDES, BASIN AND BELLE RIVER SIDE. YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUNCH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LEVEE TO GET IN THE BASIN. THE BELLE RIVER PUBLIC LANDING NORTH OF ADAMS LANDING ONLY HAS A BASIN SIDE LAUNCH. ALSO MAPS ARE AVAILABLE AT ANY ACADEMY, BPS, CABELAS, OR ANY LARGER TACKLE STORES IF YOU CAN'T FIND THEM PM ME AND I'LL FIND ONE FOR YOU. MIKE 8-)

Bassinatorbigjoe, typing in ALL CAPS is considered poor etiquette when posting on any board. You are considered to be yelling. Just thought you would like to know.
BTW, I grew up in South Louisiana (Abbeville) Most of my fishing in my younger years was done in salt water, although I have fished the Basin a number of times.
QuoteMost of my fishing in my younger years was done in salt water...
I didn't know there was salt in the ocean back then.

There wasn't, until I started peeing in it. I drank a lot of margaritas back then.

Julius You're welcome to fish with us we are "Next Generation Bass Club" based in Baton Rouge, Not affliated with any associations. We fish two times a year at each landing, Manchac, Catoache, Des Allemands, Bayou Black and usually one or two lakes like Concordia or St Johns. At the end of the year for our members, usually March, we get an expense paid trip with payouts to Toledo Bend. We take non boaters, kids can fish with their parents. Good friends, no argueing or anything to distract from just having a good time fishing...........Mike 8-)
Hi, I'm from baton rouge, la. Currently a part time college student. I don't have a boat so I fish at piers and ponds. I'm new to the sport and don't have many experience yet but hoping to learn more from everyone here.
