We planted Thursday and Friday in E Feliciana. Perfect rain midday Saturday, then got 2.5" about 12 hours later. We shall see if anything washed out. Tried to get everything as clean and level as possible without a cultipacker.

re: Help - ribs

I have a slow n sear insert that i use with one tumbleweed and fill the water trough. Cook at 225-250 with pecan wood for 5-6 hours depending on Babyback or Spare ribs. Like others said, use the tong bend test and pull before they start sliding off the bone.

I prefer to season (Holy Voodoo) night before. If you are going to wrap, recommend butcher paper to foil for 321 or 221

I did the same thing, went for a 270 WSM about 2008. Shot it for 15 years and went back to a .270 X bolt last year. The WSM ammo was hard to find and the gun/cartridge were hard to make shoot consistently. The .270 was bore sighted and spot on in about 5 shots. Much more comfortable to shoot as well.
We experienced 13' of surge/waves for Zeta on the east shore of Bay St. Louis

re: Deercam Mesh Network

We have a network of seven or eight cameras that all link back. Its a hell of a deal at $15/month and you can shut it off and restart it whenever you want. The image quality on the actual cameras are fine. The image quality on the photos that get emailed back to you are much less MP (thumbnails basically). We have never had any issue with id'ing deer through the thumbnails though. Enough to get a general idea of what size deer.

ETA - We have Cuddelink. We only have 150 acres, with a bigger property i could see issues in the cameras being too far apart.
I have the silver boy 22 mag. Awesome shooting gun, fun as hell. Only issue is you can't decock safely with a round in.

re: Another bay boat thread…

We are MS GC and have a 24 Sea Hunt. Good boat, little higher gunnels. Can still slap around in the slop though, but that's likely with most of the 24' bay boats.

The guides here run Blazer Bay 2400 (rolled gunnel, not the liner model), Sea Hunts, Blackjack, Crevalle. The 2400 Blazer seems to be the model of choice, but its a little heavier on the fishing setup rather than the family set up. No jump seats, etc. It does have a little bit more deadrise at the stern than ours.
An off the beat place is Long Beach Market and Deli. Good asian/fusion food.
Hook is our go to but lacks a view.
Sea Level (shack in the harbor) has one of the best burgers and fries on the coast.

Its very legit Texas BBQ. I don't know how they'll do in Industriplex, but its worth seeking out. As close to Texas brisket as you'll find around here.
We have a Manitowac NEO undercounter. Have it on a wemo switch to turn on before we head to the camp. Its leaked multiple times so the advice of having it outside or in a waterproof location is wise.

If we did it over again I'd get a Hoshizaki full unit and leave it under the camp.
East Penn makes the Duracell branded batteries they sell at Sams. We use those for trolling motors and they have been great.
I have been hunting dryshods for the last 3-4 years. No issues but the camo on the rubber does fade quickly

re: biscuits?

Posted by JPBiscuit on 1/2/25 at 11:20 am to
My recipe, which is a slightly modified take on Southern Living biscuits:

2 Cup White Lily SRF
4 tbps Frozen Butter, Grated
2 Tbs Shortening
Pinch Sugar
Pinch Baking Soda

Combine Flour, Butter, Shortening, Sugar, Baking Soda, cut with pastry blender

Add buttermilk, stir, then put on floured surface, fold 5-7x, flattening by hand.

Press out to 1/2" to 3/4" thick and cut. Bake at 475 for 13 minutes brushing with melted butter in the last minute.

I like Fatsumo too, they have some odd hours/practices sometime. The new sushi place in Long Beach (same owners as Asian Paradise) is good. Haven't tried the new place in BSL, seems like they are trying too hard/expensive. Give me a good Tuna Roll.

Agreed Gaston - not to derail the original post, but the Pass has two Bacchus restaurants, Hook, Sea Level, Pirates Cove and Shaggys. Supposedly Nicaud putting in two more Bacchus related restaurants in his development where they tore down Fillup with Billups. Also new TBT on Henderson Point. Would have loved the Deck to actually serve decent tacos and not be an outpost for Bacchus, but that didn't happen.

Its really good. The owner is from the Pass/Diamondhead, but lives in the BR area. His brother made the smokers (Double Barrel Smokers).

The BBQ is legit. Texas style Brisket, Turkey, Ribs, Pulled Pork, house made sausage. Sold out most days they were open. I hope it does well in BR. My opinion - slightly above Offset Smoker, but very similar styles.

Mr. Johns for traditional steakhouse
