  • FATBOYS

    Anyone have information about the safety of leaving your truck and boat trailer at FATBOYS ? Last I heard the bait camp / store was closed . It at least provided some activity to deter creeps somewhat .

        The Tiki cops patrol that about every 20 minutes or so. Bayou Vista also makes a routine lap there about every few hours. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

            Just make it a habit not to leave anything in your truck that you can't afford to lose! There are always bad guys, no matter if you are fishing the surf, San Luis Pass, wading Dollar Point, or parked at the ramp in Sea Isle.

                you can launch at the ramp on the other side of the causeway to, I think its a little deeper. always somebody working at the bait shop.
                the fishing was good,it was the catching that was bad.

                  Thanks guys ! I feel ok about FATBOYS now . I've launched there before but not since IKE and the bait camp was shutdown . I've used the Galveston causeway side launch but I don't like parking on the side of the road and it seems more crowded . The L shaped waterway there with the pier opposite the ramp and boats tied up and maneuvering around is kinda squirrally like bumper cars .

                    the L shape kind of sux because of the idiots that cant drive a boat. fatboys looked about dried up today at low tide. good luck!

                      Some have gone to leaving the door unlocked and with nothing inside that way you don't lose a window. FatBoys should be better than others though. wish we could get that sort of partrol at all the other locations.

                            Uh , I think I are one of those idiots . I haven't boated for that long . I got my boat in 2005 but didn't use it much as it was my first boat and I didn't know the waters. It's hard manuevering a tunnel flat bottom boat .
