basskat Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Any one heard from Joe? Last I heard his house was flooded and he was staying with his son in Baton Rouge. I had his cell phone number and lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshManiaC Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I talk to Joe a few times a week. He has been busy cleaning up at work and home. He lost pretty much everything that he left home. he and his family are fine though. He bought a place outside Baton Rouge and is commuting into Nawlins. and yeah, he lost all his stock and luremaking equipment but will begin getting back into the swing of things as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he lost most of his retail outlets....hopefully they'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Next time you talk with him let him know if he needs anything to let me know. If he needs help around his place I have a hammer and will travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylures Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi Basskat, you can reach Joe by email. He was living with his son the last time I emailed him and asked if there was anything I could do to help out. He said he pretty much lost everything but him and his family were doing just fine and then were living with his son. He said he had insurance to cover the losses. I hope this helps you out.

Joe Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hey Ricky, Here I am. We're doing fine. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done. Like Fred said, I bought a house in Denham Springs, just east of Baton Rouge. We have been going back to Meraux every weekend to salvage what we can. Other than a few odds and ends, there is not much worth saving. Our insurance will cover most everything we lost, but it will take time to start over again. I hope to have C J Bass back up and running after the first of the year. My fishing partner and I have a Regional Tournament next week at the Red River, but I'm not sure yet if I will make it. My cell # is 504 329 8626. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
