Was this the year the 2 young guys were found frozen to death hugging a tree or a stump?

That combined with the invasive aquatics, it went from some of the best duck hunting that existed on planet earth, to not being able to kill a duck in a few years.

Is that Phil on the right? Looks a lot like Jase.

Yes. Patrick Vizard was one of the two.

I was fishing off Bayou Dularge in 1983 and the drain got pulled on the marsh. Pulled ourselves across several hundred yards of mud flats with about 2” of water covering it using mushroom anchors. I was a broke, right out of college, so I had those cheap arse polypropylene ropes that get burrs on them with age. All 3 of us had some cut up hands. Young and stupid. Scary what could have happened.

Choupique, you think the diversion they have set in place can bring it back? Maybe flush out some of that stagnant water out and give it some flow. I don't think it can hurt putting some river water through that swamp.

There is a diversion set up for specifically that but I don't recall if it is for Manchac or Maurepas.

Damn man, I didn't know you were originally a hard-core duckman. We always talk about deer and frogging we should have been talking ducks.

A long duration freeze event in the area with numerous pipes bursting. BTR had more than 60 consecutive hours below freezing. NEW was below freezing for 3 days. MSY 17F/32F on 24th, 14F/27F on 25th, morning low 18F on 26th; BTR 11F/25F on 25th; GPT 11F/28F on 25th.

I’m sorry for the loss of you buddy. Was Stire the other ?
Two guys in Dularge that got stuck on the East side and tried to walk out.
I watched the marsh freeze both events. Lake DeCade froze over for one.
We killed a lot of animals during those freezes.

I don't hardly duck anymore. I didnt know there were other ducks to shoot other than mallards, weigon and greys till we lost that place. I literally grew up out in that swamp. Remember being in trouble with school on the regular basis as a kid becasue of how much school I woukd miss in the winter. If the weather was right, we were back there for weeks at a time. It was a remarkable place.
Go devil wasn't anything as big as it is now back then. Warren was basicly a one man show working out of a shop behind the house with one partner. The club we had back there was just bunch of very average, hard working middle class guys. If duck hunting like that existed today 45 mins from down town new orleasn, can't imagine the kind of money that woukd draw in today's world. My family would have never afforded to hunt back there.

Yea that is the main reason I got out, most places the juice isn't worth the squeeze and if it is good luck getting in.
