No, we've always referred to it as "behind the camp" or "in the back," but it's actually due west, through the gate at the end of the road, and that clip was taken over a mile so. I also took this shot back there:
So, it's not a place where you'd want a dog in deep, open water. Then, too, when the "little marsh," which I believe you're thinking of, was dried by drought a few years back, I took these where a bigger one that had been holding in the borrow ditch drug out:
Neither has been caught, but others would move in if they were. Bottom line being that I no longer have meaningful gator safe training water, now that the sweet training pond that was "mine" went with the bulk of the Dixie land we lost last year, rather than to the fellow who lets me on "in the back". So we stay to places either too shallow for big tatailles to feel secure or too weed choked for them to get around and hunt easily.
Your situation might be better, as I've seen some sweet training water outside Maurice at Cajun HRC tests, and there may well still be the designated training ponds at Moore Park that we used in my Lafayette days. Fellow named Benny Landry is who I'd want to talk to about the private water, as he's super nice and has been training in that area since the '80s.
