re: Poling skiffs in Louisiana

I just find it interesting that we see more things like small aluminum boats and small carolina skiffs in stead of poling skiffs. Price is obviously something to be considered but there is also this irrational fear of a glass skiff in oyster territory.

There is also a mentality in Louisiana of catch and release directly into the ice chest. Poling skiffs don't have bait wells or room to ice multiple limits of trout. That plays a big role.

I'd like to see sight casting catch on a little more but I get why someone would opt for sinking market shrimp at cuts and points for redfish rather than push poling all day for half the numbers.
