With the exception of getting burned by the Coleman, it is about all you need. A LPG Coleman with a reflective shield was almost perfect. And your gig though not state of the art was deadly effective also. I don't see why you need to really upgrade from that nearly perfect setup but I understand we are in the modern times so LEDs and batteries may be nice but are not needed.




I have several deflectors for the Coleman. I was just thinking of a more hands free-like a headlamp. The gig is perfect for me because it is one hand since it’s heavy.

A friend is moving his 100’ houseboat to Chandeleur Islands next week until the fall. I intend to use it often.

I used to go out with a guy who had a Biloxi Lugger and spend 3 or 4 days at a time. He would anchor behind Freemason and we would surf fish or drift in 15’ skiffs and load up the trout. Can’t remember the old man’s name and I’m pretty sure Katrina washed Freemason away.

My wife goes out on Theophile Bourgeois float plane a few times a year so we just decided to spend a week at a time several times and enjoy.

This is how the big sleep aboard charter boats operate out at Chandeleur.

Lots of fun. Awesome for kids too. I use a bucket in case I see any soft shell crabs or seashells or any other cool shite. I used to go from waveland to Bay St. Louis.

Even nights when we didn’t get any fish it was an adventure.
