re: Swimming in a Bayou. Yes or no?

If you know me it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

With or without old tires?

Sure. Did it all the time. It makes you really good at skiing because you don’t want to fall and also get up out the water quickly.

Gator population has bounced back over the years. I would not swim in any south of I-10 in LA.

. I did it when I was a teenager back in the 80’s. didn’t think twice about it, of course back then it was not very often you would see a gator. There is no freaking way I would do that now.

Fort Bayou in Mississippi. I’ve also swam in Bayou la Batre. Alma Bryant class of 2018 here.

yep, but bottom will be silty

Yes. I’ve spent more time swimming in bayous than pools and bathtubs

I remember going fishing the marsh in Chauvin. We finished, and were cleaning our fish on a dock next to the bayou. Bull reds. We were gutting them and fileting them and dropping it all in the bayou. There was a little floating camp next to us. They had 2 little kids. They were in the bayou with life jackets on, floating.

They were slap dab in the middle of where all the guts and carcasses were flowing. And parents were outside and dgaf.

Think about how nasty the guts are and what kind of crap they were soaking in. Not to mention, what kinda shite was underneath eating it, and could have easily bit into the children. They were all clueless.

I'll never forget that.
