Choosing the Right Lure Seminar / Oct 19th P&P

[Choupique]

If anyone wants a peek into the mind of somebody with OCD, specifically in how said person would try to make scientific sense of what lure to use in a range of given condition variables... Join Hobie at Pack & Paddle, October 19th for the LKFC meeting tuesday night for a talk and slideshow presentation on lure selection. I will show charts that will hopefully describe what works for me when choosing a lure out on the water in a broad range of conditions and how to work those lures. Steve and Lisa Oxenford from Hobie will be on hand to answer questions as well! Hope to see some of you out there the Tuesday after FNT.

[Branch_Office]

I will be there and anyone that wants to ride is more than welcome to ride with me!

[yak-aholic]

Finally something on a day off. I might actually be able to make this one.:buttrock::buttrock:

[Where Y'ak?]

Who'd want to learn to fish like that guy????

Just Eveybody!!!! Sounds like a great opportunity. Anybody that can make it definitely should.

[fishtaco]

How about a "Choosing the right location" seminar? That seemed to pay off big time for the IFA tourney...

[revredfish]

Marking the calendar.

[revredfish]

time?

[Hobie1Kenobie]

I'm there.

[MDR]

Sounds cool. Steve, I'll tag along.

[Choupique]

I think 6:30 or 7

[Mudbug66]

Sounds like an opportunity to me. Choup I'm not that familiar with pack and paddle could you give me an address so I can google directions?

[yak-aholic]

Check for directions here...

Maybe if some of the NO members wanted to go we can meet up and either carpool or caravan.

[bigredbobber]

after hearing how good last year was from WACT, I think I just might be there. Heck, I could live with catching more fish.

[RedFinn]

I would like to be in that number also from what I hear Choup can catch a fish or two

[lovetofish50]

Sounds like something i'd like to attend.

[RedFinn]

beer beverages....:)

[Branch_Office]

Sounds like a good turn out going to Laffy. Someone may need to contact John so he can make preparation.....and add more beverages.

I will send John an email!

[Branch_Office]

I will send John an email!

Done, Sent John an email giving him a heads up and told him I would be back with him closer to date.

[swamppro]

How much could he possibly tell about fishing dead shrimp under a cork? haha Wish it was a bit closer.

[Choupique]

Well barrett, there is a time for a shrimp under a cork, and sometimes u need a sparkplug.

[Branch_Office]

Got an email back from John at Pack and Paddle....they will be ready for us and looking forward to seeing everyone!

[ijuswannafish]

Finally something on a day off. I might actually be able to make this one.:buttrock::buttrock:

Sounds like a Walker clan outing. Maybe even bring the boys. I think they would like to see Pack and Paddle.

[Branch_Office]

Great, not a big place but a neat place!

[Mudbug66]

Maybe if some of the NO members wanted to go we can meet up and either carpool or caravan.

Hey I'm in metairie if I could buddy up with somebody I would really love to do so. Would offer to drive but just have a regular cab on the dodge.

[Hobie1Kenobie]

Choup,
Did you firm up the time for this? 6:30 or 7? I hate being late.

[Cobia 1]

Meetings usually start at 6 pm.

[derrelt]

Maybe Choup could come up with a print out or post on the web for those of us that are unable to make the trip. I am sure there will be lots of good info from the PRO. Sure wish I could get there.

[Choupique]

I really want to put together some sort of kayak fishing book about LA coastal fishing, just got to keep convincing the better have I need more field research to finish!

[ijuswannafish]

I think that is a great idea. A picture book with all of your secret spots. There would be text of course. You have to put when to fish each spot, what lures to use and any other important info for the rest of us that need some help catching fish.:hide:


Seriously, I think that a book would be a great idea.

[Hobie1Kenobie]

How much room are they making for us? Might bring my crew as well.

[Branch_Office]

I told John we may have as a many as ten I think. If we get a little list going I will send him an email to prepare him in advance. I am going and will be glad to drive and can carry 3 more comfortably.

[ijuswannafish]

There might be more than that Steve. For sure dad and I. Possibly yak-a-holic and his boys. If all go then there are 5 here.

[Choupique]

I’ll be starting at 6:30

[bigredbobber]

Thanks for doing this Choup. It is a true sportsman that shares his knowledge so that others may be more successful. Hope you make the book, too.

[Branch_Office]

Just a reminder about Tuesday night....If I can get a count of maybe how many are coming I will email or call John @ PNP and give him a "heads up"!

Also anyone that might be interested in riding together or caravaning ...

John Ryan and I are planning on attending.

[valvguy1]

Just FYI Choup..... they might be expecting you earlier. Their website lists a 6PM starting time.

I'm planning on beign there.

[Catch]

Wish I could be going, but I'm out of town. Choup had a great presentation for the Red Stick Fly Fishers group back in March. I hear he's gotten better... no longer pronounces 'redfish' with a 'w' instead of 'r'.

[MDR]

Steve,

I'll be happy to ride along with you.

[Choupique]

lol

I may fall asleep I’m so tired from this weekend.

[valvguy1]

lol

I may fall asleep I’m so tired from this weekend.

16 miles Saturday - How far on Sunday?

[fishtaco]

Swamppro and Cajun Caster went 16 miles on Saturday, not Choup.

[Choupique]

sunday I went to Orange Beach for pre-dawn.

[Branch_Office]

BTW, I will be driving my truck over to P&P tomorrow afternoon for those that want to ride. I have one other person going with me at this point (Nick) and have room for two more comfortably. Will need to leave about 5PM in order to be there so plan accordingly. I live in the Jefferson / Bluebonnet area so let me know if interested.

[bigredbobber]

Branch, I may take you up on a ride if I can get a yard pass. I'll let you know by noon tomorrow. Big car's check engine light came on this morning :frown:and I'm not sure about driving the little car to Lafayette and back. It's ancient.

I'll PM you by noon. Thanks.

[Branch_Office]

Glad to have you and return the favor lol.

[yak-aholic]

Looks like it's gonna be me, Dad, and my oldest son. See y'all there.

Steve,

Let me know if you still have room. I'll meet you at your house if you do.

[Branch_Office]

Steve,

Let me know if you still have room. I'll meet you at your house if you do.

I have it as of now so come on over! I will get with you on time.

[Branch_Office]

Ok, I have a full truck as of now....Jorge, Dario, Michael, Nick and myself. What about the Walker clan? Are y'all still thinking about going over? I sent John an email this morning to confirm.

[Branch_Office]

Open again....Do not know how I do this!

[valvguy1]

Open again....Do not know how I do this!

Might Caravan............ when you leaving, where, etc,

[Branch_Office]

Going to leave about 5PM I guess from my house (Jefferson / Bluebonnet area) and head that way. Are you and John Ryan going?

[thrash]

Out of curiosity is this going to be taped or is it in a powerpoint? I can't make it. I wish i could.

[valvguy1]

Going to leave about 5PM I guess from my house (Jefferson / Bluebonnet area) and head that way. Are you and John Ryan going?


Yes. We are. We might leave Pville as early as 4PM to try and beat the rush a little. Plus........ I probably need to feed him beforehand. Kids........ they take so much care. They think they should eat everyday. When I was his age......... walking uphill to and from school in the snow.............

[theoldcaster]

For those of you that can't make the meeting but want to know how to pick the correct lure, just watch me and what I use, THEN USE SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

[yak-aholic]

Part of the Walker clan is going to be there. I'm picking Louis up from school, then meeting Dad in Port Allen at the Waffle House. May get a bite there or wait until we get to Lafayette so we can see how time looks. Probably wait. Valvguy, let me know if you wanna meet up somewhere in Lafayette to eat before we go to the meeting.

[Glwlsu]

Maybe a few of you guys join the Lafayette club. There are some great guys over that way. Lots of guys that can catch fish. As Luke about his Tarpon !!!! Wish I could make it I'll be at LSU Coaches Committee Fall Baseball game and dinner..

[Musicdoc]

Hey Gairi, Didn't know you were on the Coach's Committee. Don't guess you saw the picture of the kid with my son from last Saturday? I'll repost here. I think I have him hooked on kayak fishing now. 2697

[valvguy1]

Great Seminar Choup. Thanks to you, P & P, Hobie and the Lafayette Club. We enjoyed it.

[Branch_Office]

+1 on the above.

[bigredbobber]

+2 on that issue. You guys missed a great presentation from Choup. and some good stories from the Lafayette club, including an epic battle with a tarpon hooked from a yak in LA.

Thanks again Choupique. Way to represent!

[MDR]

ditto

[lovetofish50]

Great seminar choupique,good tips and tecniques.Thanks.

[Hobie1Kenobie]

Good talk Choupique. Gonna try out some of what you said this Friday if I get the chance.

[bigredbobber]

Wow. I missed meeting about 3 of you guys last night. Glad I saw Yak-Aholic and his super nice family.

[valvguy1]

I have to say.......... I was disappointed in one portion of the seminar...... The computer Choup was using........ it was, well....... there's no pretty way to say this.......... it was a Mac.

John Ryan, John Ryan....... don't look............. he's using a Mac...........

[yak-aholic]

Yeah, other than the Mac it was a great seminar. The video of the tarpon hooked in Big Lake was nice to see. For people like me who don't know, could someone specify where it was hooked? Not exact coordinates... I think I heard LNG bridge. Where is that exactly?

[Choupique]

launch at calcasiue point and got to the right at the end of the dead end canal

[fishtaco]

I think thats over by Calcasieu Point Landing. Its not a bridge, its an LNG terminal (liquified natural gas).

[ijuswannafish]

Sorry I missed this one guys. Work interfered with my schedule. I will pick my brother's brain later.

[MDR]

Sorry I missed this one guys. Work interfered with my schedule. I will pick my brother's brain later.

Don't worry, we did not talk about you. Much.

[ijuswannafish]

I expect nothing less from you.:smilegrin:
