But no joke that’s like finding gold floating in the gulf.

Ivory soap cut into cubes works great on the upper Amite when the water is cloudy. When it clears up we like cut bait or shiners that we catch ourselves in shiner jugs.

Having said that. I would recommend a short drive to lake Verret or lake Des Allemands as the catfishing has been on fire there. Can easily catch a box full in less than half a day right now.

What type of fishing do you do?

I originally had a hand control motor for my bay boat and never thought I would need anything else. Went with some other people and saw the possibilities of gps enabled trolling motors.

Did some research and found that the newer upgraded models are light years ahead of the old tech. But they are super expensive.

Saved my arse off and pulled the trigger on the newest Minn Kota instinct. It has really opened up more things I can do that I was never able to do before. The spot lock, drift, and cruise control are amazing.

I will say that if I only fished freshwater it would not me as much of a necessity. However. fishing in saltwater in ripping currents and wind, for me, its a game changer.

Great beginner and do it all boat for South Louisiana. However, if you find yourself starting to fish more big bays, lakes, and open water you are quickly gonna want a glass boat as the aluminum will beat you to death and get you wet on less than ideal weather days.

I use starbrite nonskid deck cleaner and it works great but it still requires a good bit of scrubbing with a stiff bristle deck brush. Op is asking for something that can be sprayed on and washed off with no scrubbing.

I know this is a longshot but I would love to volunteer to help with something like that. I know jackshit about such things but if you need a helping hand even just someone to hand you shite I would be all about it, on my off days off course.

I wrap mine. Reserve some of the liquids afterwards put thru a fat separator and add back in when I pull the meat apart.

I can see how this would work but I often have large amounts of fish filets (over 50 lbs). That would be a royal pain in the arse to do regularly with large amounts of meat.

We had a solid day offshore on Friday.

When they were at their original location before they built the place on diversion. When the new Kevins was built on the diversion it wasn’t as good as the original but I still found it was better than Dicarlos which is why you had those wait times. Yes they had a few rough patches but overall most of my experiences were good.
