It was awesome! Here's a slideshow - the hunts in the taller thicker cypress are on Tatoon's and other parts of Maurepas Swamp west of I-55. LINK and slightly different pics here LINK
The more open areas are on east side of I-55. Salvinia, along with floating mats of fourchette LINK (the "beautiful" yellow flowers you see from I-310 in November/December) have ruined all the habitat in all of the freshwater swamps from north of Lake Pontchartrain to the Morgan City. May as well have paved it over, for what good it is now to waterfowl.

Man golden that was awesome. I used to hunt tatoons myself mid to late 90s with a guy Ben Perret. Man the hunts we had. Solid mallards. Had trouble filling limits because all they had was mallards. By far the best hunting I’ve ever experienced

I’ve seen that slideshow before and it gives me the feels.
Never hunted maurapas but am reminded of hunts in the early 90’s in the basin with my dad.

Wow. What a great set of memories. Tell whoever took those pictures, I said thank you. I wish I could have experienced those days.
