[quote name="mat" post="1216819" timestamp="1335891028"] You're safe in the outfall channel all the way back to the plant but it's been a while since I've gone up there. [/quote] It is fairly deep back there if you stay in the channel. I have seen times that you could kill fish in there and times that you couldn't get a bite... which is like most areas. According to which way the tide is moving, sometimes you can catch good fish at the points at the entrance to the canal without having to run back up into it.

Opinions? Yes. Bashing? No. I believe that the owner does want this site to be another smack attack. Sometimes it is simply the way things are worded. I don't think anyone has a problem with a perso saying that Team A was outcoached last night by Team B. That is an opinion. I think that a lot of people might be offended by a comment like, the coach of Team A doesn't know crap about the sport and is a low life piece of &@$#%.

[quote name="Craig S" post="1216688" timestamp="1335875738"] thank you for your response, and you are correct. However, on the league football forum, and others it happens all the time. Heck on the political forum the POTUS get hammered (not that I mind) it just seems to be a double standard on the "softball" forum. I know you and other admins read or patrol most if not all the forums....why are some allowed extremism and others are so sensitive. Perhaps because "softball" is dealing predominately with girls? [/quote] If anyone sees a post that seems out of line, use the link at the bottom on the post, "Report to Moderator". Then explain why you or anyone else believes that it is a violation. It will be sent in an email to the mods and it will be looked at. If the moderator feels there is a violation, it will be changed and a warning sent. With thousands of posts a day, many simply are not viewed or just glanced over by the staff. Many of the warning and that are issued start with a notification from a forum member and some result in the violator being banned from the site. As far as the POTUS or other national figures, I don't think they are considered in the rules of no coach/person bashing. If someone wants to dog out the coach of LSU for stupid play calling or saying that he needs to be fired, so be it. Saying the same thing about a local coach or player is not in the same equation, in my opinion. If you start saying that the coach of the XXX HS is stupid and needs to be fired, you are going to be warned, likely have your post deleted and eventually banned if the posts continue.

[quote name="indianforever" post="1216447" timestamp="1335815126"] what are some good spots to fish on the Neches River in Port Neches by boat??? [/quote] From the park, go toward Beaumont for about a mile and on the opposite bank (Orange County side) and check out Bessie Heights. There is some awesome fishing in there at times but it helps to go with someone that knows and there are plenty of shallows to beware of. You can also run about 6 miles to the east toward Sabine Lake and fish the Entergy outfall canal area or on into the lake, especially around the islands where the shallows drop off into the ship channel. I think some people have started to catch good stringers of specks on the north end if you know how to look for them.

[quote name="Craig S" post="1216640" timestamp="1335844162"] Ok....no response. So ill ask the question more precisely....maybe this will get more attention. Should I say Coach Adkins with Orange Crush why do you play favorites to kids in Orange Co.... Keep in mind I am in no way discussing a high school softball program....strictly concerning select softball.....or yet another question Coach Adkins..of Orange Crush....why do you deceive the public with your "open practice" tactics.....yet another Coach Adkins of Orange Crush....do you do all your business dealing with kids in this same deceitful way...... [/quote] Maybe rules 15 and 18 will answer your questions.

It is like there is a difference between bashing a local little league coach or a high school coach where one is acceptable and the other is not. I did not see such a distinction in the rules and do not believe any was intended. Bashing of local coaches, players, refs, etc., is bashing and which particular league the person is in is of no consequence as far as the rules apply.

[quote name="vhs" post="1216075" timestamp="1335708316"] Are V-hull bayboats safe in the cove...with all the shallow water I was wondering how hazardous this area was for boats [/quote] Like westend said, you'd better troll the shallows. According to the tide, some of it might be 6" deep of oyster shell. Don't run into it with your big motor unless you are very sure where you are going. The shallows go well out into the channel that does not require a LA license.

[quote name="vhs" post="1216067" timestamp="1335706391"] Good information guys....thanks a ton! [/quote] You snuck your post in 16 seconds before I answered bullets.  8)

Yes. There is a lot of area that is in the shallows outside of the cove (like you said earlier) but once you cross into it, you need a LA license. That is where we fished was in the channel together (like you said earlier). So to answer vhs's question, that is a very good place to fish and you don't need a LA license as long as you aren't up in the cove. The shallows/shell reef extends a good way out into the channel though and into the common boundary that does not require a LA license.

[quote name="bullets13" post="1216044" timestamp="1335674902"] i think "cove" is misleading, because it gets shallow a long way before it actually gets into the actual cove. [/quote] This is the lighthouse cove. I believe that anything past the extended lines of the bank are no longer the common boundary waters and subject to a citation from Louisiana if the person does not possess a LA fishing license. Out in the channel itself should be fine but cross that imaginary line that I drew in and you need a LA license. In my opinion........ [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[/quote] I thought you did. [/quote] only if you go all the way back in.  not exactly sure how far you can go in, but if you aren't between the two points, you should be good.  correct me if i'm wrong here, westend. [/quote] Anything past the extended lines of the ship channel is past the points of land. If the coves is legal for a Texas license then the whole thing should be legal until you cross into a canal or bayou that outfalls into the cove.

Almost a week and no fish?

I haven't been but have seen some in ice chests.

The main problem finding fish this week will be how to fish on a lake with 30 mph winds.

[quote name="vhs" post="1195982" timestamp="1331521140"] Anyone have any luck using shad in the Neches??? ... I use to run lines on Livingston and we killed'em on shad [/quote] I think that if you put it in front of them, they will eat it.

[quote name="wackpack" post="1195301" timestamp="1331346406"] ;D.  ...Seems like everyone is over looking Ec !!! Just the way we like it. [/quote] Yeah, I am sure that the opposing coaches check the setxsports poll to see how to play the next team.

When I was fishing for Ops I would always use perch/bream/bluegills. The channel and blue cats will eat almost anything from Zote soap, liver, shrimp, stink bait, cut bait, weiners, etc. I always caught most of my ops up against the banks with individual limb lines and not with trotlines.

[quote name="lionbaseball" post="1183379" timestamp="1329959893"] Wouldn't take much into the preseason poll a bunch of the pollsters haven't seen what some of the teams have. [/quote] Correct.  I would not say "some" of the pollsters though and it is more like most of them. This is a very wide area the polls are taken from and there is not much to go by other than prior history, returning players, hunches or whatever. Even then it is tough when there are no games played yet. Also, let's not forget that polls are nothing more than conversation pieces. This isn't the BCS and the teams don't make the playoffs by what the polls say. A team can be predicted to get last place in their district and get no credit or respect during the season and still go on to win the state championship. To go even farther on your statement, I wouldn't take much into the polls during season other than something to discuss. It obviously works since the polls sure get the comments coming.

What's wrong with the worms?
