The BIG E is moving to LA for a few months.

Not well received by many LA fisherman!

:grinpimp:

saw the thread on the hull truth about that! haha

where can we get on the boat? saltycajun party!

My guess would be where they can find the most security money can buy:*****:

You won't see my truck with a TX plate around there:thefinger:

Sorry fir Askin..... What's the big e??

Its a party boat out of freeport,TX.....Well I guess LA now.

I went on a 60 hr trip a few years ago on this boat and had a blast. We actually saw some sportfishers with LA registrations on them while at the floaters. On another note, I sure see a lot of LA plates in our TX refinery parking lots lately. What does it really matter, we are all the same.

We have the same problem. TX plates all over our Louisiana refinery parking lots. Go figure.

It's not a problem with me though. Now go figure. ;)

That's because you were in waters off LA coast

I used to go work in TX all the time so that the TX guys could come here and work. It's a system we have set up in order to get away from our wives!:*****::*****::smokin:

You weren't supposed to tell anybody. Now the secret is out.

all joking aside my buddy( a offshore guide/comercial fisherman, blue water tourney angler) brought his big boat to venice last year ....local guides got pissed cuz he was smoking em lettin huge catches hit the cleaning tables at venice marina ....needless to say he got suckerpunched / jumped on the docks.

Golden Meadow is the new location :)

Feb is the first trip :rocker:

It's O.K., we get all the Texas money at our casino's in Lake Charles and Bossier City.

We can call it even.

Yep, they don';t seem to mind us dropping our bucks at the casinos too much!

get the facts
 

Im going to guess that you only know about 10% of that story? Do you know that part about how they were catching (out of Venice) and bringing to Venice, tens of thousands of pounds of amberjack while comercial fishing in Louisiana waters? If they want to rape the waters, let them stay in Florida! It was such a big deal that Venice Marina banned the boat from docking there! Doubt we see that boat this year!

As for the part of them taking us to school..... This is Venice Captains that we are talking about.........not really known for NOT catching fish!! Did he have some good trips? Hell yeah he did! Let me spend three days in the Green Canyon and I will give you a hell of a rack of fish too!! If you can compare his 3 day trips to the green canyon to one of our day trips, ok ! Go ahead!

Jason is a awsome fisherman bottom line . those guys fish louisiana waters every year so there is nothing new about this . so are you the one who sucker punched him .....

If they catch more fish, that is no reason to jump them.

If they are illegal, call LDWF and let them deal with it.

If they are not illegal, go catch some fish. It's none of your business what they catch, if they are legal.

Hey Josh, Gray said to tell you hello!

I take nothing away from Jasons Fishing ability! He is a nice guy, I have seen him for years in Venice! AND he has done nothing illegal that I know of! It does leave a bad taste in your mouth when we can catch 1 amberjack a person but he can bring in tens of thousands of pounds to the dock! Most were caught right out of Venice, do you have any idea how long it will take to get that many fish back in that area! They may have almost completely cleaned out some rigs! Not illegal but not cool either! As for the sucker punch, that much is true but it would not have mattered much! He can fight that capt any day of the week and it would turn out the same! I dont think that it was right and do not agree with what went down! It was a lot leading up to that night, not just one thing!

If I went to Florida and dumped thousands of pounds of red snapper on the dock in front of local captains, im sure they would be cool with that too right??? I dont think so!

I agree with that.............If its commercial he needs to have his own private place to clean his fish

first off this is not goody (josh) but i am a very close friend of his......second how can u be pissed a someone who is legally fishing trying to make a living???? Third who ever pumched him is lucky josh wasnt working on the boat anymore ....................

Im not pissed at him, he knows me and I have never even looked at him wrong! Lets just say you can wear out your welcome doing what he done! We dont go to his dock and do that! He should have more respect for our waters! Why doesnt he stay in Florida and make a living? Why come over here? He makes a lot of money in Louisiana but we get none of his tax dollars! (the boat owners tax dollars)

The point you were trying to make is we dont want any out of state boats in Venice! The only problem is The Red Eye and the Dorado fished here for years, the Red Eye still does! We are good friends with Gary and Jeff, Never has there been an issue! EVER!

Hey W! This is a charter boat that fished Venice for a few years but they also carry a commercial license! Any time the two license mix its always something! These are good guys that fish the boat and they wasnt cleaning the fish at the dock but the fish were offloaded in Venice! We all knew the amount of amberjack that were being taken from Venice waters and it was very hard to watch an out of state boat that doesnt make a full time living in these waters take thousands and thoudands of pounds of amberjack! Most of us would never have acted in the way that one of our guys did! I hate that it happened, it gives Venice a bad rap! This happened out of many heated arguments and more than a few beers!

I feel you.... We have the same problem with Texas guides on our lake.... They want all catch and release in texas... But will come guide and rape our waters!!! I may be wrong for this but if I see a texas guide , guiding a trip on Big Lake... I do my best to mess him up.... I think its total BS that a texas guide is not good enough to catch fish in his area...he has to come to LA....

Well guys whatever you did it worked!! :D

UE is not going to LA to fish!

Now Evonn (UE) blames the anglers for this....

She pulled the plug early this week on the LA move and the Feb trip which is 3 1/2 weeks away and said it was because lack of bookings. IMO that's BS.

If you pull the trip with 3 weeks left NO SHT it wont fill up. DUH!!!

They have maybe a 3rd grade education over there so it's not even worth fighting with her.

Ohhh! And they went up on the price to $700 for a 60hr. FU*K THAT!!

I'm done with them and will just do private charter stuff.

This is what she said in a PM to me today.


They can say what they want. I am not spending $20,000+ to move a boat when I only have 5 customers booked for Feb. It's not a cop out it's business. I am not here to loose money. I am here to make money!

Yea.... She wont say the real reason BUT we all know what's up :*****:

:D

I hate to hear that. I think there were a couple of guys from here that were actually booking a trip with you guys already.

UE this is for you.........:thefinger:

Corey, if you are talking about us, we are going out with Capt. Josh on his new 33ft Freeman.

Ya know, some of us just like fishing other places for the fun of it. I also know several guys that have fished with1 guide for many many years. They fish with this same guy, in S. America
, Bahamas, Florida you name it why? Because they like the guy and enjoy his company!
