One month out to the Battle on the Bayou Fishing Tournament on June 27th in Lake Arthur!

We are exactly one month out from the 3rd Annual Battle on the Bayou Fishing Tournament !

We've been extra quiet this year.... Gator Boatwx moved into a new shop back in January and it's been nonstop since then.

Don't worry, though! We are numbers people... well Brand is... and we're looking good with registrations, better than we expected!

Let's compare:

2024:
one month prior to tournament: 5 boats
one week prior to tournament: 22 boats
total tournament day: 33 boats (63 anglers)
total cash payout: $5960, plus some fun prizes!

2025:
one month prior to tournament: 8 boats
one week prior to tournament: 34 boats
total tournament day: 44 boats (87 anglers)
total cash payout: $7280, plus over $4,000 in prizes!

2026:
one month prior to tournament: 18 boats

If that doesn't tell you that it's bound to be a great day, I'm not sure what will!

Tag your fishin' buddies and let them know to be 3rd Annual Battle on the Bayou Fishing Tournament on June 27th!

and don't forget, if you are looking for a place to stay, check out Myers Landing Campground--they have cabins and RV spaces to rent!

Just over a month away! Battle on the Bayou Fishing Tournament is June 27!

We are just over a month from the tournament and have had quite a few people reach out to ask about the check-in process.

To make it as simple as possible:

You can put in at
Myers Landing Campground
Gary's Landing
or at your personal camp/home

but you MUST come to Myers Landing Campground to check-in and live-well checks.

Once you check-in and have your live-wells checked, you will receive your asisgned boat number.

Every boat must blast off from Myers Landing Campground.

To recap: you can put your boat in the water at Myers Landing Campground, Gary's or from any other location you choose, BUT

you must check-in, have live-wells checked and blast off from Myers Landing Campground or you will be disqualified from the tournament.

If there are any questions, feel free to call either Brandi Comeaux Simon at 337-349-2813 or Justin Simon at 337-384-4748.

We have 15 boats registered so far--we anticipate a full house again this year, so make sure to tell your buddies!

We will be back open Monday, April 27th!

New, clean fuel: left
Old, dirty fuel: right

A boat is NOT a car… and it will absolutely remind you of that at the worst possible time 😂

You can ignore your car for months, come back, turn the key, and it’s like “no problem, let’s go.”

Your boat? Oh no. Your boat holds grudges.

That fuel you left in there “just for a little while”? Yeah… it’s been marinating. Separating. Plotting. Becoming something that barely qualifies as gasoline anymore.

Then you finally hit the water, all excited… and the engine starts acting like it forgot its own job.

Moral of the story:
Just because you didn’t use your boat doesn’t mean your fuel didn’t go bad — check it before you go, or you might be making new friends with whoever tows you back in 😅

Anodes are one of the cheapest parts on your boat—but they protect some of the most expensive.

Their job is simple: they corrode so your motor and lower unit don’t. The problem is, most people don’t check them until they’re completely gone… and by then, the damage may already be starting.

If your anodes are worn down, crusted over, or missing, it’s time to replace them. Staying ahead of it can save you from corrosion issues that turn into costly repairs.

Not sure what shape yours are in? Bring it by or give us a call—we’ll take a look and keep your motor protected.

Owning a small business isn’t for everyone. It takes hard work, long hours and everyone’s help.

Over the weekend, we put up banners along the fence line at the shop.

We thank God everyday for the blessings we’ve received.
