Hello and Welcome! to TheJump.Net! TheJump.Net started off as simply a bunch of my favorite hunting and fishing links. Then it just seemed to take on a life of its own and just grow and grow. The name "TheJump" seemed appropriate because the page was a jumping off place for hunting and fishing on the internet!
I got the idea for the name "The Jump" from a magical place in Louisiana down towards the mouth of the Mississippi River that goes by the same name! If you aren't from Louisiana you probably haven't heard of "The Jump" by Venice, Louisiana. The Jump is a place where the Mississippi R. starts its distributaries or branching into smaller waterways that eventually empty into the Gulf of Mexico. THE JUMP is at the head of one of those waterways. When you reach this spot you have many hunting and fishing choices. Options abound. From this one spot people go to experience virtually every type of outdoor hunting or fishing activity available to Louisiana Sportsman.
Deer hunting, world class duck hunting and rabbit hunting, every type of fishing imaginable from freshwater fishing for bass, crappie, catfish, and striped bass to inshore saltwater fishing for flounder, speckled trout and redfish to some of the offshore and bluewater fishing for Marlin, Tuna, Red Snapper, and Grouper can be had here! That is what makes this hunting and fishing spot so unique and deserving of a name where usually no name would be given. The Jump is truly a magical place.
As you approach "The Jump" in your boat you will see all manner of boats moving up and down the Mississippi River. You will see huge ocean going tankers, oil industry support ships and boats that range from tiny aluminum boats to ships well over 100 ft long. You will undoubtable see commercial fishing vessels. These also run the gammot of small homemade boats designed to run in water only inches deep to shrimp boats and longline boats of all sizes. And of course you will also see boats for fisherman and hunters that will also vary in shape and size depending on the quarry sought. "The Jump" is truly a gateway to everything from Tuna to bass and everything inbetween. The scenery hunters and fisherman experience in this area is unlike anywhere else in Louisiana or the country. You will feel like you have left the U.S. and are visiting some far away exotic land. Truly a hunting and fishing experience you will never forget.
