muscadines
 

anyone in the BR area got some vines?

i want to pick some

No, but I now know how to answer your "can I bring anything" question when we finally get to make a fishing trip. Muscadine wine will be my answer.

Let me know if you find some somewhere, I wanna make some wine.

fruit stand between HWY190 and I-10 in Port Allen/Lottie?

Is this the time of year they grow? If so i know where I'm going! Little alabama in krotz springs. They are everywhere along the lake, good bass fishing too

Ross, I'll check where I'm staying, vines everywhere haven't checked to see if there's any on em

Yeah they should be about ready. Do they have them out there? If so I'm going today and bringing the yak. I love fishing out there

Got an old boy that used to work for my dad brings a few bottles over every couple months. I love it, but none of my friends will drink it. I think it tastes great and gets u hammered. Prob got about 5-6 bottles at my deer camp and another 3-4 at my dads house.

That's what I plan on doing ross

Mine are all still green.......

Hard to get to too, high up.
I just wait till they fall and pick them off the ground.
you are welcome to come by, but it's tough go if you need enough to make wine.

They should be ready, my hunting lease is covered with them on one of my shooting lanes. I had to cut alot of the vines down last weekend so I could see down my lanes. I would say come get all you want but its in Avoyelles Parish and after rains last weekend we have anywhere from 2-4 foot of water on the lease right now.

Take a cane pole and make a hook out of a coat hanger .Duct tape the hook to the end of the pole .works great for picking muscidines ,pears etc anything to high to reach.

simple peddler, may come get some from you in a few weeks if you have extra

gonna go check out little alabama today i guess

i just took a little kiss off a bottle i have here at my office. still good!

we used to find a bunch around johnson bayou.. pretty darn good paddle though. Good luck and let me know if you catch anything. Watermelon red flukes and shad colored crankbaits should be kicking right about now. I like that crankbait by the deep structure.

we got a whole mess of them..

Theres a good crop of them this year and about half of them are ripe right now.

Before Rita, they grew wild on the fence lines on the front
ridge road between Cameron and Rutherfords Beach.

come on down Yak.....you can feesh da pond too

whiskey ****to is full get your brother to go get you some yak

my grandpa has some, but i dont want to drive back to jennings to get them.

i went to alabama bayou today, couldnt find them, but did see some fish, didnt bring my yak though

simple peddler im gonna pm you

been pickin them over this way for over a week now....gotem wild all over my woods...bout half of them are ripe and they are awesome!! best crop since katrina by far! I feel like i'm 6 years old again every time they come around.....throwin sticks to knockem outa trees and dodgin hulls on the ground because they had bumble bees an yellow jackets in them!

oh yea
 

man you made remember, our first year here and we found the Muscadines, my youngest son was just a mere 20 months.....as fast as I could pop those things he was eating them.

He is 14 soon and just today he was looking around on the ground finding them.

my stepdad use to make wine out muscadines. he made me a bottle when i was like 8 and kept it till i was 18. let me tell you it must have had a little to much dust on the bottle cus everclear didn't have nothing on it. it would take your breath by smelling it when i finally cracked the bottle. guess you cant age it like normal wine

makes great tasting jelly too.

My dad used to bring it in the deer stand to stay warm.......he'd say "this here's muscatel, its imported from erath!"
Everyone would laugh, I didn't get it.......my grandmother used to grow it and make wine.....I remember it being pretty good, not at all like everclear

no its good just this bottle had fermited a little too long i guess

if you let it ferment too long before bottling, or all of the yeast isnt deactivated before bottling it can cause that
