Too many grand isle memories to list…
Mid-70’s we would take our pop-up camper set it up right on the beach in the state park…no electricity, no generator, no water…big bathhouse you’d walk to for bm’s and showers…water always stopped working at some point of the weekend…
We would catch so many speckled trout on shad rigs…hook one, drag it through the school and try and hook the second.
Crabbing with 2 wooden poles, string, shower hooks, chicken necks, and a net…one year we filled up my dad’s 18ft bateau with crabs…spent two days processing the meat back home.
Dad woke us up in the middle of the night one time because the tide came in too far…we had to hook up the camper and move it further inland…huge rain squalls would just hammer you out there…
Always had a great time but it was roughing it…
