Thanks to Stephen Brown for
submitting a few photos. Send us your pictures and
fishing stories for us to post on our
photo gallery.
Give us some ideas to add to our website.
Anyone want to share fishing locations, rig numbers,
coordinates, tips, tricks, DIY lures and jigs, etc..
I'm considering putting up a page or two to help out
fellow fishermen find, catch and keep fish. I know
you've been out there throwing darts and not having much
luck, so if there's a way we can help each other out,
that'd be awesome.

LA Sportsman Magazine - Thai Tonic
Tribute to American Wounded War Veterans
Check out the Thai Tonic on LA Sportsman TV.
No interviews, but several clips showing my
boat. I volunteered to take two wounded
soldiers fishing for the 1st Annual Wounded War
Veterans Fishing Rodeo. It was held the
last weekend in September at Empire's Delta
Marina. Great fun was had by all.
Here's a link to the upcoming show. I and
my deckhand LT George Wiley took two soldiers
from Ft. Hood, Texas offshore for some king
mackerel and cobia fishing. Lots of keeper
size red snapper were caught and released as
well. Picked up a few lane snapper and
lost a couple of nice AJ's in 200 ft of water.
We were the only boat going offshore, as
everyone else stayed in the bays and marsh for
specks and reds.
Check out the video at Louisiana Sportsman
Magazine's website.

AWARDS BANQUET
This year’s awards banquet will be Wednesday
October 14,at 7:00p.m. at the Club House. We
will have a steak dinner for members and their
immediate family. Guests may be invited for a
$15.00 charge. Please contact Ed Dawdy at
802-9822 by 10/08/09 with the number in your
party if you plan to attend. An accurate count
is needed. This year, instead of the usual
selection of gifts offered, winners will be
given gift certificates from West Marine. This
is to reduce the amount of work involved in
getting the various prizes purchased in time for
Awards Night. It also shows our appreciation to
West Marine for supporting our July 4
th
Rodeo.
TELEPHONE TREE
We have “outsourced” our telephone tree to a
local company who will be making reminder calls
for regular club meetings as well as notifying
the membership of special events. We used our
current contact list to set up the phone tree.
If you have a preferred number that you wish to
receive the notification on, please contact
Stephen Brown at 302-6745.

Grand Isle Tournament
The annual Grand Isle tournament was held one
week after the Rodeo. Details of the tournament
are quite sketchy; however many club members
were rumored to have participated.
Only 2 weigh slips were turned in during this
tournament. A 14.5 lb Red Snapper caught by
Jimmy Redburn and a 16 oz. margarita caught by
Juan Escobar? Evidently what happens in Grand
Isle, stays in Grand Isle.
Red Snapper/King Mackerel
Tournament
7/25-26/ 2009
A total of 7 boats fished the tournament. ON THE
ROCKS was the top Red Snapper boat with 4 fish

was the JP IV with 28.55 lbs.

from the I.G.F.A . is pending.
