I am going coming in from Florida this weekend to go out on a buddy's shimp boat out of Golden Meadow, but he only shrimps during the weekend and I will be there all or next week. Anybody know any shimpers that go out during the week, I am looking to ride along in exchange for free labor. If I cant find anyone I might just go on down to grand isle and fish during the week.

Sounds like the guy who wrote Bayou Farewell. Every Louisianian should read it.

Just something I have always wanted to do. Used to go down and pull a trawl behing our little boat but I have always wanted to go out on a bigger boat.
ETA, I have read Bayou Farewell, very good book.

You are so right. A very alarming, but great book!

Be careful, and don't put your head, foot, arm, leg, hand, etc where it should not be - like in a winch.

Disappearance of the South Louisiana coast due to coastal erosion. Guy comes down just to hitch rides on shrimp boats and write about the experience, but ends up hearing about all of the land loss and begins to study and write about that.

Mike Tidwell knew nothing of the disappearing bayou country when he first visited the Cajun coast of Louisiana, but the evidence was all around him: the skeletons of oak trees killed by the salinity of the groundwater, whole cemeteries sinking into swampland and out of sight, telephone poles in deep, standing water. Thanks to human hands, the storied Louisiana coast was eroding, subsiding, and joining the Gulf of Mexico—-making it the fastest disappearing landmass on Earth. Yet no one seemed to know how to talk about the problem. Tidwell, a celebrated travel and environmental writer, decided to begin the much-needed conversation, and this vivid, elegiac book is the result.

Bunch of friends and family down in Grand Isle that do.
Just go to the middle of the island where all the boats tie up or by Dean's (where they unload) and ask. I'm sure someone will let you ride along. I don't know what they're catching in the passes right now but one of the skiffs is probably your best bet as the bigger boats typically make trips for several days.
