New Orleans-area fishing charter

Posted by jspenc2 on 7/27/15 at 12:14 pm

Hey guys, I'm looking for a highly-recommended fishing guide that leaves ~45mins from New Orleans. Inshore/marsh type stuff. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip Spankum, I'll try that.

Gotcha. Yeah, I know I'm posting super early but was curious because I haven't found anybody really talking about guided frogging trips... I figured somebody would be running them somewhere but I guess it's just usually more casual than that.

It wouldn't be for a while. He's coming down for an LSU home game so probably early Sept. Still in season though huh?

Where do you normally go to catch em?

frogging guide?

Posted by jspenc2 on 7/13/15 at 9:24 pm

Kind of a weird question but I've got a buddy coming in from CA and he's really interested in going frogging. Guess he saw it on TV somewhere... I don't personally know anybody down here who does it but I was hoping someone here could recommend a guide with a boat and frogging experience. More than happy to pay in both cash and in beers. Let me know!

No way in hell the Suns let him go through with anything that might get him hurt like that.

Weird. I never thought about being mad at the BCS about 06. I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the refs of the Auburn game.

I'm surprised they're doing it in SEC territory too.

You'd think they would drive up to Utah or something if they really wanted people to listen. I guess Auburn was a good stop but you're not going to find a whole lot of BCS haters here or in Florida, either.

They were in the Kirby Smith parking lot when I saw them. What's that all about? I wanted to stop and talk to the guys but I was running late for class. Anyone get to talk with them?

This thread is absolutely inane... you think Jared Mitchell strikes out too much - cool!

Well I say you call the editor up and talk to them about it. Absolutely unethical on the writer's part and you can bet the editor would like to know that something like this is happening on his watch.

Tiger Weekly plagiarizes Afreaux's Sangria restaurant review

Posted by jspenc2 on 4/3/09 at 9:25 pm

Was looking at reviews for this place and found Afreaux's first. Then I found an eerily similar Tiger Weekly review here: LINK

Afreaux:

quote:
"The menu is a peculiar mix of Tex-Mex, Central American, Caribbean, South American and Spanish dishes."

Tiger Weekly:

"The menu is a peculiar mix of Tex-Mex, Central American, Caribbean, South American and Spanish dishes."

Afreaux:

quote:
"The restaurant interior is something of an upscale sports bar, there are just as many booths as there are tables (white tablecloths). The inside is dark wood and some exposed brick, with vaulted ceilings, six flat planel TV sets on the walls. The bar is a good 25 feet long, with another bar counter opposite with stools that runs about 20 feet."

Coincidence? Or am I just a retard and does Afreaux work for Tiger Weekly?

re: LSU Picture/Camera Question (Lsuconnman, FLtiggah, etc.)

Posted by jspenc2 on 3/9/09 at 12:06 pm

Well if I've done my research correctly the f/2.8 has IS and the f/4 doesn't, so yeah there's actually a sizeable difference, maybe the equivalent of 3 or 4 stops. But I don't know if you'll notice it except for in pretty low-light conditions. When I use telephoto lenses like this one I sit there and take 100 or so pictures and pull out the sharpest ones. You will have sharp and blurry pictures with both - you'll just have more blurries with the f/4. On a side note, that's a decent deal if you want all the extras that come with it but if you just want a camera and a lens it's nothing incredible.

I would recommend checking out LINK for some excellent no-nonsense camera and lens reviews. I still think a 70-200 might be something you should upgrade to if you get your camera and feel like you need it. There's no shame in kit lenses these days.
