Grand Isle to the Lump

January 26, 2005 at 12:51pm

A quick and sincere mea culpa for our friend Capt. Rene Rice on the Cajun Riviera, Grand Isle. I was mistaken this month in the magazine in saying that the island is roughly fifty miles from the Midnight Lump. It is in fact much closer than that, seven miles closer to be exact. Less fog, less…

Hmmmm.... I guess you mean 7 miles closer? Which would put it at 43 miles from Grand Isle. This should be about right.

So for those considering a trip to The Lump from Grand Isle be aware that John McQueen is talking about it being 43 miles not 7!

I made my Comments even though I do not like the proposed season at all I would rather see a summer season matched up with Red snapper and not during the fall hurricane season!!

Fishing in Buras

August 04, 2014 at 1:56pm

We stayed at Joshua's marina in Buras and I was very impressed. Excellent rooms and service. It was very calm this weekend so we were able to go offshore. Caught a variety of fish but most were too small to keep. It was a perfect weekend.

I have never used them before b/c I do not go out very far in a 14 foot boat, but I see SeaTow advertise anytime, anywhere for about $120.00 per year. Would definately be worth it if you ever need them. Hope this helps.
