My cousins and I used to go swimming in the bayou and my uncle would always say “don’t worry, when you see a gator youll shite yourself and the gator will swim away from the smell.” Always got a good laugh from the 10 year olds.

He was water skiing and then flopped as one does and was waiting for the boat to come back around. He was bobbing under the surface and calling for help and the calls for help got weaker and weaker. The boat finally got to him and when they pulled him up he was enveloped in a wriggling gigantic squirming hive of water moccasins. He had been bitten multiple multiple times and the weight of this mass of snakes was drowning him as well. Apparently when water moccasins get together to mate they just tangle a huge number of themselves into a ball. And by some freak accident when his waterski run ended he just ended up right on top of it. He died.

Yes, swam in many bayous. Common in the day back in 60’s, 70’s an 80’s. Girls swam with us too. Water Skiing in bigger bayous where spotter in boat always pointed out gators. Bayou Mermenteau, Lacassine, Des Cannes, Nezpique, Teche, Courtableau, Cocodrie. Paddle a pirogue, too.

I usually don’t go through with this type of research, but maybe this will help you on your journey...

Damnit, chRxis—they got in that bayou water—close enough for me!

i just figured it was something like the old LA Bikini Team... i dated a girl that was a part of this, and well, they are all from LA, so that's what i was thinking the Bayou Babes, with logo that includes the state of LA, no less, was...

Hell no, snakes and alligators are two dangers but the number one danger is sewage pollution by private landowners up and down the bayou.
No brown sharks for me!!

First time that I ever heard they pulled the guy down and were drowning him at the same time.
That was a nice touch.

Back in the early ‘60s. Yeah, lot of old lakes, rice field irrigation canals, the Mermentau, Kinder Pump, Rasberry Lake, flooded ditches, False River, Old River. Can’t remember them all.
No gators back then and mostly saw those big yellow water snakes.
Oh, yeah, does the Da Krong River count? In 1969 in the Nam we were fording a stream and I stepped on a 3-foot long baby Caiman (type of long-snout crocodile). We damn near unloaded two mags of M-16 and still missed that fast little sob. Never saw a squad of Marines scatter so fast.

I was going to say "no," but then I realized Bayou Lacombe is probably a bayou.

Learned how to water ski in Lacassine Bayou in the summer and hunted gators in the same waters in September.

When I would visit my cousins in Monroe we regularly went swimming in Bayou Desiard. There was one place where you could climb in the cypress trees and swing from a rope. Lots of fun.
Sure beat the hell out of Bayou Nezpique.
