Thanks guys. I am very very use to hunting North of Causeway. We will defintely be checking the area. Pretty sure biggest gator caught last year hung out at US Alabama and the same handicap guy caught on the flats halfway across.

I got a real good buddy that got a tag. He was an alternate and someone backed out I guess. We will be in the upper delta

Always multiple gators hanging out under the interstate and in the bays both north and south from Blakely river over to the Apalachee river. Always a decent one on the west side of John's Bend (prob shows a Bay John or Big bay John on a map) where it meets the Apalachee. Dont overlook D'olive creek either. There's been some real good ones killed in there over the years. Mostly see 7-8 footers in these areas, but if you get desperate and cant find a big one, you can dang sure run down there and fill your tag in this 2.5 mile stretch of interstate water.

ABOLT thanks boocoo. We always hunted from the causeway North.

PWYSEE Biggest monster gator I have ever seen hangs (REPORTS OF STILL BEING IN AREA ) at the first bend OF Tensaw on the East side of Gravine Island where the Tensas River opens up.

ABOLT.. Where do you put in to run the interstate? I assume you can run the I 10 corridor as it is deeper due to piling construction. Does the Coastal area get the South I -10 corridor and the Upper Delta the North side of I-10 corridor. The wording in regs is very ambigous as both upper and coastal "End" at Interstate I-10.

Thanks again.

If I was fishing that side, I used to put in at Mizells on the east end, north side of the causeway on the east side of the Blakey back when I lived over there. Mizells sold, not sure what it’s called now but it’s probably still open. Run south on the Blakey and take a right and run between the E and W bound I10 lanes. Left if you want to check Dolive Creek. It’ll shallow up bad as you get to the west side of John’s Bend. It’s what I would consider easily runnable to about the middle of John’s Bend. I used to run my big bass boat all the way through to the Apalachee but I knew exactly where to run and I was trimmed up, hot foot on the floor, with nothing but the prop in the water.

I think I am just going to follow the GATOR CRUISE. Cracks me up that the 5 rivers center is having a GATOR CRUISE that starts at exactly 8pm ( same as our starting time ) during just one of the 6 days of gator season.

I ripped an abdominal muscle. My butt is just laying here wasting time trying to breath and not cough. Told my buddies to full on weekend at Bernies me if I check out on this adventure. I need it as it has been 18 months since I fished or hunted. Last time it was that long was my birth till about age 3.

PWYSE did you get the bonus tag for your zone? Chris Blakenship stated in an interview that due to an increase in alligator population that 192% of tradional permit numbers is the new quota number as BONUS TAGS ARE BEING GIVEN OUT TO ENCOURAGE THE TAKING OF SMALLER GATORS. I hope they did not just double the people. But with the wording it seems like it is a BONUS Opportunity.... ??????

Oh it very well could have been. I haven't heard that but he was an alternate.

I think the tags were doubled and they were ambigous about it and gave them all out just going down the full alternate list. 200 folks on the upper delta will be fun. I first went in 2007 and 150 boats plus chaser boats was covered up in folks.

So did you see in decent gators?
