re: Maurapas wma

Hey Boats, you seem to still be hunting that area.....anything in there "thick" anymore? What about the teal in Manchac? They used to eat that place up. They still in there?

Know what was funny? There would be a mother load of people in there on teal weekends, and the thought process was "the further back you went, away from folks, the better off you were". At some point during our Maurepas/Manchac/back of DuPont/back of East St. John/back of Norco careers, we figured out that all them teals was roosting in the woods west of 55, and that actually, what you wanted to be was the FIRST decoy spread, almost up ON the railroad track.

This was before it was a WMA....not sure who owned it, but EVERYONE hunted it. There would be SO MANY folks from New Orleans in there, launching pigogues off the top of Volvo's and shite. I can smell that swamp gas now.

Also, answer me this.....I guess the reason for this has already been explained (we just had tons of better places), but do you know of folks that ever hunted the woods WEST of 55, like on the other side of 55 from Manchac WMA, below the pass?

We used to fish in there a bunch, but never thought to duck hunt it. Again, no real reason to, when a man could pull a pirogue out of his truck/off I 10, and get after'em.

Just curious.
