We did some hamburger bowls. Basically a hamburger with no bun in a bowl with more lettuce.

I have this one from VEVOR. I've had it for about 1 1/2 years and it works flawlessly. I can seal anything from fish/shrimp to white beans. For under $250 you can't go wrong. Get this brand Sealer Bags from Amazon. You can boil in bag to warm stuff up or use it for Sous Vide.

ETA; If i was to buy again I would get this one with the clear lid from Vevor, just so I can see what's going on, its only a few dollars more.

ETA2, I can do 3 lbs of shrimp, chuck roast, 1/3 of a pork loin..... to give you an idea of the capacity.

I told my wife they were going to drive down and miss the field goal.
Out of those 2 I would get the Mazda. Have you looked at a Hyundai Tuscon? We've had 3 Hyundai's with zero issues.

I make It like you would a regular jambalaya using the Jambalaya Calculator method. When I cook my onions down I add a can of regular rotel, when it gets good and browned down I add 1/2 a small can of tomato paste (about 2TBS) and let that cook about 5 minutes. Add all my meat back, then my chicken stock, when it comes to a boil I add a bag of frozen baby lima beans (12 oz), when that comes to a boil I add my rice and proceed like you normally would.

This if for 3 pounds of meat and 3 cups of rice.

I make 3 different jambalayas. A traditional river road chix, pork andouille and smoked sausage (sometimes I add fresh sausage too), A shrimp and saltmeat (what my dad made, he was from Chauvin) and this one. I had never heard of it till I met my wife. Her Granny was from Bridge City and a Home Ec teacher. My wife explained it to me and I attempted to make it for her, she said it was pretty close and good enough. I make this one less than the other 2.

Yes, some people call it the Jail Launch, or the dump launch, if I'm telling an outsider the name I go with Ashland Launch, that's what pops up on Google Maps.

They look nice but I ain't paying $90 for a shirt. I stain all my shirts so I try to go cheap.

The wind could be blowing 15-20 and you'll be fine out of Ashland, unless you run all the way down to Lake Boudreaux and try to cross it.

Another option is T-Irvs in Dulac. The guy that runs the launch is very knowledgeable and shares information freely. We always chat with him before to get a report and when we get back we give him a report. its mostly protected too. Good thing about there is after you catch your 4 reds you can fish at 1 of 2 floodgates and pick up a few sheep head.

Ashland only has a launch and no bait, ice or fuel.

Christianos is one of the best restaurants I've been to, never had a bad meal there.
I bought my truck because I pull a boat.

I got a crew cab because I had young kids at the time that I toted around.

I got A V8 because this is America baby and I ain't driving no 4cyl turbo.

I didn't get 4wd because I never go off-road other than to launch my boat.

I don't know where I fit in your data.
Big ole Sams Club Black Angus Yellow Sticker Ribeye, Asparagus and a green salad. That Sams club steak was excellent. My son cooked them on a cast iron pot in my Weber Grill.

The only motor restriction is if you are on the WMA in the Marsh.

PAC has been off this year. Not sure what the problem is. I would hit Grand Bayou and go south, fish the marsh to the North Lake Chien. Also Lake Chien shorelines are good for reds too, just have to watch the weather in that boat.

You could also launch at Basons in Larose, you wont lose an axle driving through thier parking lot like you will at the PAC marina.

Another option that would be closer for you is the Ashland Boat Launch in Houma. You would run Bayou Chauvin down and there's some nice marsh off of that thats holds redfish.

Whatever you have budgeted to spend on a grinder, go buy the $99 dollar one from academy and spend the real money on a good vacuum sealer. Unless you’re just not trimming worth a shite I have never been slowed down by even a basic grinder, all of them can process faster than you can trim.


All of this and Ill add get a good sausage stuffer.

I have this chamber vacuum sealer. Its a 5 star product, with the 8x12 bags you can seal a 2lb portion of sausage. I just did 50lbs over that last week.

Honestly that's not bad. My buddy owns a tow service (not in BR). He charged me $150 cash to take my truck about 15 miles.

Uncle J, Jason Romero, is in Morgan City and he won't touch an express.

OP my cousin has that same boat, 24 Express, he sent it back to Express and they fixed it for free under the Hull Warranty. Those 24 Express are known for hull seam cracks.
3.5 hours labor to change spark plugs seams steep. I could do that in under an hour.
