We'll have refreshments brought to us by well-appointed wait staff and professional fish cleaners there eager to convert our sheepshead/pompano/speckled trout etc. into tasty fillets, which the on-site chef will be glad to prepare to your specifications. There won't be a bathroom attendant (I've always thought that was weird and awkward), but the bathrooms will be properly stocked and cleaned regularly. There will be a complimentary bait station for everyone to avail themselves of live shrimp, eels (seasonal), and ghost shrimp (harvested by a team of specialized ghost shrimp-suckers). In other words - Fisherman's Heaven!

Chillin:
I'm revising my forecast for this weekend to rain, wrong-way high winds, muddy water, high humidity, higher humility, googans, catfish, sharks, no LYs, cheap pizza, bad internet connections and watching college football on too-small motel TVs. In short, a typical trip for me. But, I'll be with my son, so who cares?Last edited by Philip Sommers; 10-04-2017 at 11:47 AM.

Re: forecast. The GFS has the storm traveling faster and going ashore near Grand Isle, LA early Sunday morning. If that is right it will put us on the right side of the dang thing - much worse for surf and erosion than the map above.
I think we'd better keep an eye on this thing.chillinfish likes this.People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.
