We cooked a turkey out there and everybody got fish. A great day! Jack has passed away but it's still a tight family operation. You won't be disappointed.
I Have to agree with you. I docked there both dry and wet for several years. I have to say that if you were having a problem with your equipment Jack and his family were there to help. I moved West to the Toussaint river because that is where we moved the camper. Wish I was still there at Tibbles. Real friendly and helpful family. The head boats would work with the other pleasure boaters to put them on fish. Always a generous scoop of minnows for the price as well as competitive fuel prices. Guy saved my boat from sinking once as the bilge pump float switch had stuck and drained the batteries, pumped out the bilge and made sure the boat was safe before they called me, that way I was prepared for the repairs and had all of the necessary parts with me instead of running around wasting time gathering them once I got to the boat.
