It’s that time of year. Weather is starting to cooperate. Has anyone been surf fishing in Grand Isle yet ? How has the fishing been ? Does Bridgeside have live shrimp ?

About 10 years ago I built a pacific dory style skiff with Spira International plans. I really enjoyed building it. Frames were 1 x 4 untreated pine sheeted with 1/2 inch plywood. ( regular untreated ) Outside fiberglassed and inside painted with eurathane. There is one 2 x 4 going down the center of the boat stem to stern. Deck screws and gorilla glue (poly eurathane base ) built it after Katrina got my other boat. Wanted to take the kids fishing and crabbing but a decent sized flat was thousands and still had low sides. I have hauled many dripping wet crab traps over the side of the boat and got caught in the rain a few times. Still going strong. I wish I knew how to post pictures.

I shoot 50 cal round balls. 3 for 3. Where is everyone finding black powder these days ? I am running low and heard they don’t make it in Louisiana anymore ?

I left my door to my new truck open for about 10 minutes and a rea got in it. I was able to get him with some sticky traps with peanut butter for bait.

On overnight dive trips offshore with the bbq grill on. Doing some night fishing . We would fillet those smaller black tip sharks right out of the water , cut some lines on the fillets , a little butter and Tony’s and right on the grill skin on. Talk about good

I am considering buying a Grit workhorse saddle. Does anyone hunt from one. What do you think of it ?

My 12’ g3 flatboat planes pretty easy with my 6 hp Yamaha 4 stroke with just me and fishing gear.

Save those shanks. If you haven’t made uso buco with deer shanks you are missing out. I threw away a lot of shanks until I learned about this.
