Not sure where you’re getting the $400 price. The ones I have are more like $210-$220. Check the website or if in the Lafayette area I use Pack & Paddle. Blundstone may have $400 pairs but I get the classic Chelsea boots and they’re awesome, not $400.

I’m on my second pair of Blundstones. I love them. They’re really well made well.

I like it and as someone else mentioned the Pecan Brochette is good. I think all their fried seafood dishes are good and they have the best homemade Tartar Sauce.

If money wasn’t an issue I’d get Tethrd One’s but since I’m a cheapskate I have XOP X2’s. XOP is my favorite of the budget saddle hunting brands. I really like Tethrd and Lattitude offerings for the pricier brands and have a Lattitude saddle.

Edward Norton Jr. favorites are The Worm and in Fight Club.

Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.

Mel Gibson as Mad Max and in Braveheart was awesome.

I’d be happy with any help or improvements in this area and I’d think anyone who is a wage earner would look at this as a win. I’m super optimistic about it and want to read about the details in the bill.

Big beautiful bill-No tax on OT- Plant Work

Posted by Nonc Chu Rouge on 5/22/25 at 1:31 pm

I work in a Chem Plant and get alot of OT. I just saw that this bill was passed in the House. If it passes the Senate does this mean that I won’t be paying taxes on all the OT that I work? Does anyone have any idea how this will work? This seems like a great thing for all the Plant workers in and around this area. I haven’t seen this aspect talked about much but to me this would be huge for the Baton Rouge and Lake Charles areas with all the plants up and down the river.

Some of good brands to consider are…

Tethrd - all their products are good and cool designs.

Latitude- really cool stuff. This is what I have for saddle and a Tethrd platform.

Buzzard Roost is a local Louisiana brand. I’ve heard good things about them.

Budget but good quality is XOP. I have some of their sticks.

re: How are you guy cooking speckled trout?

Posted by Nonc Chu Rouge on 4/15/25 at 12:58 pm to LanierSpots

Saute onion, bell pepper and a Serrano or jalapeño until soft. Chunk up some trout fillets and toss in the skillet with sautéed veg mix until fish starts to break apart. Scoop fish veg mix on tortillas and enjoy. Wife will usually make a mango salsa to put on top of tacos. Ca cest bon

I’ve eaten at the one in The Woodlands a few times and always loved it. Good pizza in my opinion.

I thought the owner of Olde Tyme’s name was Murph or something like that.

re: Saddle Question

Posted by Nonc Chu Rouge on 2/7/25 at 7:16 pm to freshtigerbait

Saddle hunters are into shaving off weights on everything and the smaller 8mm ropes will weigh less. They’ll all work fine but like someone else said the ascender will be different. I use a 9mm and use the Kong ascender because wildman or ropeman won’t work for the smaller ropes.
