Jeeze um Pete is there that many boats over in the west that need storage

[Bluechip]

I don't know about storage but there are a lot of us "west side" guys on Big Lake....

My neighbor is opening a bait shop and store on the hackberry side too.......should be up and running this month.......I think he purchased an existing shop, but not sure......

Ray do you know exactly where the proposed site will be?

I think he could build 200 lifts and have no problem filling them.

Hope it works out.

[Ray]

I don't know. I just know he requested a permit from the parish.

I don't see a permit request for digging a canal? I wonder how will a boat get to open water?

The same way Ray and Reelbender did in West Cove.

Sorry Ray.

Sorry Ray.

I might have made it if I would have been going a lot faster.

I just stumbled across this, boat stalls will be on Choupique Bayou. Go to link for more details.

It may be somewhere up the Kelso Bayou.

[Ray]

That will attract more offshore boats. It is almost an hour to get from Lake Charles to Hackberry with all the speed ups and slow downs along the ship channel.

Somewhere along choupique(sp?) bayou??

[catch.and.fillet]

If it is truly @ 27 and Choupique Bayou, it'll fail due to lack of water. On low tide, it's a narrow channel where it connects with the ICW. There's a landing on the north side of the hwy advertsing slips for the past year. It's empty.

x2.

With Chris' comin' in plus this big marina= more traffic plus more boats runnin' through turner's. A bigger local economy isn't always a good thing. . . it's only when the local infrastructure can support it. The slips will go unfilled if it's on the Bayou. If it's on the ICW ... That's a plan that will probly work.

[evis102]

Because every stall will fill and there will be that many more people running all over the lake without a clue.

[Ray]

If there are new stalls built or not, there will still be boats all over the lake.
Not having a place to store or hang a boat won't stop people from fishing.
It will just make it a little harder to get into the lake to have to launch.
