re: Shark bite while fishing. Video

Posted by PocketLab on 4/20/24 at 3:11 pm
Was fishing Mechant one spring, caught a big gafftop. Left him out of the boat, grabbed pliers to unhook him. I lifted his head and was reaching for the hook with the pliers when a shark hit the catfish. Its head was 14 or so inches wide........

re: Retay Shotguns

Off the wall question, but how long are your arms? Im 6'2" and most shotguns have shot high for me. Several years ago I bought a Beretta. Went to the gunsmith to get it fitted correctly. He added 2" to my stock and presto! Dead arse on....
Where did you get your building from?...
I've used both of these for radio & shooting, running the GT also. Currently have the JBLs, they're good quality and great battery life. I might charge once a week and I listen to 4 to 6 hours of podcasts a day with them. Lost the Earfun buds in the bayou, I really liked them. Theyre a little smalle...

[quote]Spray your feet with unscented antiperspirant deodorant and let it dry before putting socks on. If it’s real cold I put on a thin Thermax liner sock and then Merino wool socks. Make sure your boots are large enough that they aren’t real tight.[/quote] This! Came here to post this exactly. ...

re: Drought Effects on Deer Season

Posted by PocketLab on 11/30/23 at 1:19 pm
I hunt straight cypress swamp in lafourche parish. There's zero water in the swamp. Walk with tennis shoes where you normally need hip boots. There's feed everywhere, the entire swamp is green. Deer are fat & happy. Even tougher to hunt than usual because they can walk everywhere......

Deer Grinding/Sausage Advice

Think Santa is bringing a grinder for Christmas. Any advice from you guys that do your own?...
Dularge area sat had a fairly decent amount of birds around. One blind had a two man limit. Couple of greys, a dos gris and the rest teal. Know about 5 or 6 other blinds who were in the 12 to 15 range, again mostly teal with a few greys mixed in. Sunday had far fewer birds. We killed 12 with 4 greys...

re: Who is seeing ducks?

Brought my son yesterday to Dularge morning late. Threw decoys at 9:30 am then brushed a couple of blinds. Saw several flocks of greys. Probably 200-250 all together. Two flocks of BWT & a ton of Dos Gris going to roost at sundown. Not outstanding by any means, but not terrible. Things will change d...

re: Compound Bows

Posted by PocketLab on 11/1/23 at 2:09 pm
My son is about to turn 14. Same situation last year, he was dying for a bow. I explained that he'll be growing so much in the next few years that we would get him a good adjustable bow. We got him a Bear Royale. You can easily adjust draw weight & length. Around $300 if i remember correctly. If he'...

I read the same, not sure where. But thought it said something about the survey being done in two specific regions. Miss delta & Atch spillway, metioning the population is higher with the bears outside of that. Rings a bell but not 100% sure...

re: Hearing protection

Take a look at Decibullz. They're not electronic, but use dampeners. You mold them to your ears. You can hear conversations in the blind and they reduced gunfire DBs. Me & my kids love them....

Ewill, took my 13 year old son to Buras for a teal hunt with as buddy that guides down there. We ended up with 18. My son is pretty handy with a shotgun. We hunt like 3 guys in the boat, letting him take the first shot but big boy hunting. Bad thing is every bird is 3 shots no matter what. Told him ...

re: Anybody been Tuna fishing lately?

Posted by PocketLab on 9/18/23 at 12:37 pm
For what it's worth, my son & I grabbed a bite at the marina saturday afternoon. Several big boats, including 3 mexican gulf boats, pulled up. All had good hauls of YFT in the 50ish range. Guesstimate 6 to 8 good tuna per boat. One had to use two carts....
This!!! Take her whenever she wants to go. You're not hunting for deer, you're hanging out with her. Don't burn a good stand, you probably wont kill. Bring snacks, a couple drinks, a coloring book. Get to the stand no more than 2 hours before dark. I try to park the truck about 2 hours before dark. ...
