  • Greetings! New Old Guy!

    Hello all, I am a newbie here. Getting to be too hard on an old body and too expensive on light pocket book so I sold my offshore rig this past August.

    I bought a well used 16' aluminum boat yesterday with the intention of learning and fishing Chocolate and West Bay. I live in Manvel, so it's an easy trip to get to either Lutes or the 2004 bridge. I hope to make the rig into something I can drift fish with and also use as a flounder gigging platform.

    It will be a few weeks before I am ready to put my little rig in the water, in the mean time I will be lurking and hopefully learning.
    First question, are there any security concerns with the parking area at the 2004 bridge, launching late afternoon and coming back well after dark?

    Thanks, look forward to visiting with you guys!

      Welcome. I have heard of problems, but I haven't had any. I just take every and anything of value from my truck. I just don't give em a reason to break in.

              In decades of launching there, I had heard of things being taken from parked trucks,,, but I have never heard personably from anyone who has had it happen to them. Just my opinion, but that would be like turning down Texans or Astros tickets because you are worried about parking. That would never stop me. Go fishing☺ Lutes is a great place to launch with someone always there.
