Hunting Salvador management
This time of year brings hunting season. Many local hunters start making their way north into the hills in search of that trophy buck. Some just like to pass the tradition of hunting down to our sons. And we have a jewel of a hunting area in our back yard. It called the Salvador/Timken Management Area.
This is a department-owned area that spans 33,047 acres, providing great wild game like duck, deer, wild hogs, squirrels, rabbit and the best fishing a sportsman could ask for.
The only way to access the management area is by boat and there are few regulations that allow a hunter to prey in Salavador.
The area offers youth hunts for deer, either sex, with a firearm, every weekend in the month of October. Requirements for hunting any management area are as follows:
1. Basic hunting licenses.
2. Big game hunt licenses.
3. Ducks have the required stamps.
4. Deer tags in hand.
5. Stands may not be left on the management area.
6. Must be out by noon.
7. A self-clearing permit, available in Pier 90, Bayou Gauche, Bayou Segnette, and at Flemming Canal store in Lafitte
8. WMA hunting permit (ages 18 to 59) allows one to hunt the many WMA’s through out the state.
9. When boating all regulations apply.
10. Youths 17 or younger must posses a hunter safety certification or proof of successful completion of a hunter safety course.
Each youth must be accompanied by one adult 18 years of age or older.
If the accompanying adult is in possession of hunter safety certification, a valid hunting license or proof of successful completion of a hunters safety course, this requirement is waived for youth younger than 16 of age.
Adults may not possess a firearm. Youths may possess only one firearm while hunting. Legal firearms are the same as described for deer hunting.
The supervising adult shall maintain visual and voice contact with the youth at all times. An adult may supervise only one youth during this special hunt.
Youths must also display the 400 square inches of hunters orange by wearing a hat and vest.
Hunter, my son, and I are planning to hunt the remainder of October.
Specks bite in lake
Specs and reds continue to bite in Lake Salvador.
Because of the strong east winds, fishermen have been catching limits along the eastern shoreline in Bay Badeaux to the mouth of Bayou Villre.
The ¼ ounce gold spoon, the Baby Minus-1, in pearl and black, the chrome and blue top rattle trap, black and chartreuse glow, purple and chartreuse color sparkle beetle with a gold spinner blade have worked well for specks.
Good bass fishing was reported along the shoreline around the Wiskey Bay area.
Black and blue tip tail and watermelon-colored worms, white-spinner baits, and bream-colored crank baits are getting the job done.
Sac-a-laits were being caught last week in the canals north of Des Allemands.
Black and chartreuse and blue and white tube jigs worked well in this area.
