For a few years I had 10 crab traps in lake Pontchatrane and about twice a year some A hole would raid my traps. I started putting zip ties on them to help stop them.

I bought Boost arm dfm delete from Amazon a year ago for $149.00 works great.

Yes. I am 64 and use my old man climber a lot but also use my portable 15’ ladder stand. When I find a good trail to hunt sometimes it’s hard to find a straight tree to climb. That’s why I like the portable ladder stand. I bought a saddle last year and it’s ok for the first hour but you are basically standing the whole time. And in a saddle you tend to move around too much.

I see adds for placid boat works carbon fiber canoes. Super light weight but super expensive.

My 2017 Silverado bought new had 3 common problems I found out about. I read over and over how the transmission would fail around 100 k. I am at 110,000 and still good. The ac condensers fail due to not enough weld so they crack and loose all Freon. Mine did. $1,800 The 3rd common problem is the hydronic/electric lifters that let the engine shift from V8 to V4 can fail and cause major engine damage. I bought a device that plugs into the diagnostic connector and keeps it in V8 mode all the time so lifters won’t fail. I love my truck but the thing I hate most is it rides rough. Every brand of truck has its problems. My next truck will be a Chevy

May is a good month for wild caught crawfish.

All private land hunting trails we created through the thick catbryar in the cat island swamp. The deer started using the trails as soon as we cut them. We hunt from ladder stands. Hunted the hills in the morning and swamp in the evening.

I feel like it starts around Christmas and into first 2 weeks of January. We hunt in St. Francisville.

I caught a limit November 5th close to the launch.. went one week ago and only caught 3 keepers.

3 of us went Wednesday the 5th. Fished the marsh not too far from Hopedale marina. 8:30 - 2:30 Ended up with 28 keeper trout. Not that many throw backs. Caught on live shrimp and marker 54 shrimp. The fish are inside. You just have to pick your days to fish.
