I saw your post and I see my buddy seachaser has already helped
you out. I thought I would just let you know you are not the only
one from O.S. waiting on the brown bombers. I just got the Contender
back for the yearly check up, she's ready and I can't wait. I'll see you around the harbor more than likely, that's where I launch most of the time.

Launched last weekend, looks like the city needs to find some money to fix the piers. Its really getting bad down there. I am considering trying to launch at Fountainbleu.

Have you tried the ramps on the north side of hwy. 90 going into
Fort Bayou estates across from the car wash? The docks are about
two years old the ramps are so so and not as busy as the harbor.If
you need any more directions give me a call or if you would just like
to talk boats and fishing I've always got time for that. 218-4788

Capt Esquare,

YOu wouldn't have by chance launched that pretty Yellow Regulator from Gport harbor on Sat AM did you?
If you did, how did you do?
I just got a 23' Seaswirl and am licking my chops waiting on Snapper season. Of course, work and wind will probably pick up for the first month of the season. C'est la vie

Still don't know, need something catchy, I did not want to post it on the CC or Free forum, some of the stuff is pretty lame. We'll come up with something sooner or later.

I guy i know came up with two great names (in my opinion anyways), he never used either name... are you ready???? the first one would really fit that fine boat, but i don't know if he ever plans to use them... i guess i could ask him. that is if you like either one... I wouldn't want to take either one from him, but if he never uses them? hell, i think they belong on a boat...

Cobia's Phobia!!!!

Browny's Bounty....


if you're into catchin lemon's that is....

Great names but i have a problem, I like to fish for the all. I would just as soon be chumming on the bars or wade fishing on the islands or bottom fishing at the rigs or chunking for tuna at the RP. I love it all, that is the reason i bought this boat, i can just about do anything i want, including picnicing with the family. So now you see the delimena i am in with a name being put on the boat.
