New To Atchafalaya!!

Postby Tylerdavis3 » Mon Jun 16, 2014 11:40 am

My name is Tyler Davis, I live in Lake Charles and I've always hunted lacassine and Sabine wmas, but I've recently started working in lafayette and I want to hunt the Atchafalaya but I have no idea where to start, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a boat launch address and coordinates where to start, not trying to take someone's spot just have no clue where to start! Thanks in advance

When I lived in Lafayette, I found fair to sometimes great public hunting in the Basin, both north and south of I-10, usually by virtue of being willing and able to outwork and out navigate most of the competition. Google Earth and GPS have, of course, made the later a more level playing field for those who use them.

But you're probably the same distance or less than much of it from Lacassine NRW, which you're already familiar with.

Start in Butte La Rose, there is a boat launch there and a guy I worked with on the oil spill cleanup in 2010 lives there, his name is Makin and he will tell you where to go.

Welcome to the forum.

You want we should narrow it down? How about, "Put in at the cement landing and run the bayou until you get to the white birds in a cypress and tie off there, then walk straight across until you get to that little pond and set up."

Just some coordinates that take you through the bayou, about mile onto land and up a hill that a duck has never seen in it's life.

I did. He was running two threads asking the same question, so I deleted the entire thread that was in the GH forum - which was intended for genuine help - not cyber scouting or trolling or whatever this is.
