The day I was speaking of :-)
I talked to a crew boat Captain and he said on opening weekend, they had 10’ seas and came back into Barataria Pass at 9 knots.

Pretty Impressed with them on this.
There has been one. Like one forecasted good day since the start.
There was a Sunday a week before where it laid down and was nice.
Despite the bad forecast, we don’t know what it will look like 100% until the day comes- appreciate them getting ahead of it- for sure to work on the quota- but it gives the anglers a chance to have an epic weekend.

There’s an epic offshore boat and Captain there. It’s not a Bertram, it’s even better.
My bad- you threw me for a loop there. I hear he's good, but a 20 year old Viking is not "epic"
I think Chedballz on here has fished with him for his son's graduation a few years ago. Chedballz said it was a great trip.
And for the downvoters, Grand Isle still is be best place on Earth.
re: Battery Tender/Auto Bilge Question
Posted by subMOA on 5/18/26 at 8:21 am to LSUSUPERSTAR
Test it- auto bilge switch is normally hooked directly to 12V so you cant inadvertently sink it by turning the master off.
I am terrified of a thru hull failure sinking me.
2 1100 GPH pumps- one is hooked to an auto switch direct to batteries. If I start to see bilge water going overboard. that’s my cue to go see what’s up and if a catastrophe- turn on the second pump.
ETA- when you moor it, make sure to close all your thru hull valves- many a sinking could have been avoided by just that.
Also- if you didn’t paint the bottom, get it done now- you would be shocked how fast little marine critters like to grow on your hull.

If you strike out at Hurricane Hole, Southern Angler got a new 39 Contender last year- they are really good guys out of Grand Isle Marina.
Grand Isle is the greatest place on earth.
Any captain out of GI is good.
All of the sportys go out of Hurricane Hole, but I don’t know of any of them that charter. Call the marina office to see.

Man, when my kids were little I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell them people throw them back.
Know what? They clean and fry up just fine.
I appreciate Chedballz for teaching me this.
Once I saw some jackass at Bridgeside throwing back, like dead whole fish, sheepshead at the cleaning station. I thought, “bruh. WTF? GW Fins would hit you for $40 a plate for that- learn to clean them”

Brokers are the lowest scum of the earth.
I had a guy (consigned by the manufacturer) destroy a $400,000 machine because the manufacturer insisted that they needed to arrange transport. A machine that’s over 13’ tall. I begged the manufacturer. Told them I would pay a penalty just to let me haul it. My version was a 379 Long Nose with a drop side lowboy that scrapes the crown of the road when you change lanes. But nooooo, they send some kid in a plastic truck that couldn’t be bothered to read a tape and didn’t call a permit in. One overpass bridge on I-10 later and he arrived with half a machine. I was like, “uhhhh, where’s the rest of it?”
Broker had the audacity to tell him to come to me and we’d sort it out.
Once, had trucking arranged by the same manufacturer. $7500 trucking on the invoice. I asked the guy “Hey, how much did the broker give you for this load?” “$3500”
Scum. Now at least they can be responsible for something.

Considering he’s won a number of 7 figure awards, as much as I hate to admit it- I don’t think he’s a moron.
But since you know so much about practicing law, I will defer to you and tell him he absolutely does not need the clerk’s office any longer- and it could be run by preschoolers.

re: Strait now completely shut down
Posted by subMOA on 5/13/26 at 7:33 pm to geauxbrown
Had a pretty in depth discussion with my wife about this today.
Dow is still nearly 50,000.
Gas is high, but not as high as we’ve seen it, and we all survived.
From a macro perspective, Trump appears to have no need to fire another shot. And to do absolutely nothing for the foreseeable future.
We don’t have anyone stuck on the wrong side of the Strait. Our beef is with Iran, and we have them blockaded.
The world is sitting in the cuck chair watching Iran have their way with them.
Trump is going to watch Iran starve. And he is going to prove to the world that we’re not going to solve everyone’s problems.
Of course, you can say we created this problem. But it shows how desperate Iran really is. All they can do is scoot around in a few hundred center consoles, shoot at a few privately owned ships and everyone shits their pants. If that’s not terrorism, I don’t know what is.
Trump pulled the curtain back on the wizard and now we can truly see he’s just an angry little man.

Pretty disappointed in Landry overall- I feel like he’s trying to run the state as his own little fiefdom.

If you are a productive and dedicated player, you have nothing to fear.
Walk in this am and own it. Go talk to your boss. Own it. Say you are going to get some help to figure out why you have made mistakes.
I had a guy do $35,000 of damage to a machine a few weeks ago. He called me and started the conversation “I am just calling to let you know that I enjoyed working here, but after what just happened, you are going to fire me, and I accept that”
His value to me is more than $35,000. He still works here.

10 biggest excavators in the world.
I’m thinking you’re being sarcastic here, because the top ones on your list have to be assembled on site. Even IF the Iranians somehow got past the sanctions to get one from Cat or Komatsu Mining and somehow got their hands on one of the only few ever made, It would take months to just mobilize one. Mobilize it- not even get it back commissioned to work again.
And then there’s that pesky detail of the 250 ton mining trucks that need to be mobilized in the same manner just to move what one of those can dig.
They aren’t digging bomb damage out with a front shovel, I promise you. There’s probably not even a front shovel in the whole country.
Now, had we bombed Saskatchewan or Western Australia, different story.
re: Boat recommendations
Posted by subMOA on 5/12/26 at 7:17 pm to Shotgun Willie
I had a Crownline for a year or so when I decided I wanted to see what “boat riding” was all about. Very nice build quality, good materials, well done.
I think they are under priced because they are a Midwest builder and everyone wants a Chapparal or Sea Ray.
Great boat. If I ever have a lake house, I would get another Crownline.
<- I own 2 offshore boats, a bay boat, a mudboat, and my paw paw’s McKee. I do all my own work- fiberglass included. So I’m kinda boat snooty. Saying all that compliment again how highly I thought of the Crownline.

Not sure how accurate the report is. It is the NYT after all.
I feel like they couldn’t be more full of it and have no idea how moving material really works.
It takes 3 work days of nonstop running scooping 20 yards at a time to move 20,000 yards of beautiful silty loam soil.
20,000 yards is a pittance. And that’s not even moving it very far.
Now, consider that the absolute biggest bucket you can put on a 95 ton excavator is 8 yards- and a 95 ton machine is no joke- most of what you see on jobsites globally are 20 ton machines.
And it’s rock.
And we bombed this stuff solid for what, 2 months?
And we are to believe that these clowns can move all this material in a couple weeks?
My arse.
re: Local Hardware Store: Fertilizer
Posted by subMOA on 5/10/26 at 11:08 am to Aubie Spr96
I am so sick of people who shouldn’t have an opinion (your hardware store economist) having one.
2008- Nitrogen was $1200/ton
Then dropped to $400
2014-2016- $800 because we had to figure out the DEF supply chain
Back down to $400
2021- up to $1500
Back down
2026- back up to $1100/ton
Yes, geopolitical events affect fertilizer prices. Yes, it comes back down.
And it’s high, but it’s also the same price it was 20 years ago.
Bet he doesn’t know that the average yield increase in corn is in the neighborhood of 30bu/ac over the last 20 years.
Care to guess what also drives nitrogen high?
High yielding corn. Take millions of acres and then get hundreds of millions of increased yield- which took nitrogen to do it. And here we are. Plus, we make an enormous amount of DEF in the US now, so the supply chain is very sensitive.
Buy your lil bag of 13-13-13 with its 6 pounds of nitrogen in it- worth $10 on todays market and be happy they can get you some P and K in it also and somehow bag it, and distribute it, and the retailer can sell it for a profit.
