There are tons of boats out at Frenchtown Rd.

We made it a ways down but got too shallow for 30hp outboard at a certain point.

Current out there is no joke. Surface drives will be best bet, but we saw some bay boats running the deeper stretches.

Blackhawks and coastguard were doing flyovers.

Thanks so much. From where I'm sitting the amount of help offered and the number of people who said they wish they could help, has been amazing. It means a lot to know how many people out there are willing to help those they've never met.

Redfish, water current is very dangerous on this side of I-12. I'm near Coursey and Jones Creek as well. The Dip Stix on Jones Creek is almost under water and water would run all the way to the Amite.

Been sandbagging and moving shite all day in Gonzales. Water on cornerview went down a little over the last hour. Looks like the pumps are catching up.

My camp is on the discharge side of those pumps

Keep your drawers dry boys.
