I hate that. We call them spotlight navigators. I always turn my light on my dash down low or off and the gps down low so my eyes can adjust to the dark and see if anything is in my way. If you get hit with a light you are blinded and it takes several minutes to get your sight back.

They are catching plenty of Redfish and specks in the surf off Elmers Island. We have a 55 gal drum of just fish guts we had to dump the last 3 days in a row. You can see them clean fish in our fish cleaning room at Cajun Tide Beach Resort.

I use my castnet to catch pogies and mullets for bait. But use small perch hooks for croakers and pin fish and catch them the night before you go.

Chop up some green onions and celery. Mix it up with some mayonnaise and mustard and add some Tony chacheres. Boil some eggs and add that too if you like. Let it sit in the fridge for a hour and it tastes great. Its best to use some wood when grilling it to give the tuna a smoked flavor. This also works with amberjack and other leftover grilled fish.

I had a report from a camp owner on the bay. He caught 40 trout off his pier 11am Sat. on a falling tide. He used minnows under a cork. Some trout were over 3 lbs.

Try fishing off the side of the road past Elmers island to the west. Early in the morning with top water baits. Big specks.

I put my 25ft Bertram on the trailer with the motors. You are backing the trailer down too far. When putting the boat on the trailer have someone back the trailer down not as far. Drive the boat on the trailer and it should take full throttle to get it all the way to the roller. If it goes on too easy its too deep in the water. Mark your trailer where the water line is on it when you get it right. This worked for my boat. The loop on the bow may need to go on top of the roller. When my trailer is too deep in the water the loop ends up on the bottom of the roller. Hope this helps.

I have customers calling to cancel rooms because they think oil is on the beaches. Maybe there should be a class action suit against the media for all the false info driving customers away from the beaches and from eating Louisiana seafood.

I had a customer go to the bridge last night and saw plenty of trout under the lights. The gulf is calm this morning. Water looks clean now. No oil on the beaches. Its still staying on the east side of the river.
We have had some people cancel reservations because of the oil spill. Its too early to tell if the oil is going to come this way. If it doesnt come. It will be hard to get a reservations.

The new beach is nice on Grand Isle. The gulf is like glass this morning. Dolphins feeding along the surf.
Time to go get them.

I bet they taste pretty good with some green onions and mushrooms over rice. Ive eaten nutria before and its just as good as rabbit if not better. I live on Grand Isle and have watched the coyotes catch rabbits on the beach when the corp wiped out all the grass when they redone the levee. The coyotes are everywere. We trapped one in a hog trap in woodville ms and they are mean as hell. I tried to feed it some steak and it just stared at me. It tried to bite me every chance it got.

I have a black lab and trained him with blood and rewarded him with some scrap deer meat. Start off with feeding him scaps. Every time you defrost some meat save the blood and scraps. Put him so he cant see you and start with a puddle of blood and then drip it less and less as you make a trail. I started training my dog in a small backyard in harahan then down the street in the area then the woods. I had to put a cow bell on him so I could track him.Most labs dont bark when tracking. He is 10 yrs old and only used him twice. He found them quick both times.

My grandfather used to train labs and was a dog trial judge. We used to train at the spillway every weekend. If the dog was to chew up the bird he would rap chicken wire around it and cut the wire and turn it out all around it. It seem to work on most dogs. Females always were easy to train. Some males were untrainable.

I think the city of GI can solve this problem. Just enforce the litter law and give some $500 tickets to people for littering. It wont take long for the word to get out and some people may think twice. I live on the beach and some people have no respect. The fine should be $500 and 6 hrs community service picking up trash on the beach. As far as the boats and jetskis the coast guard should enforce the law on the water.

I found that any thick sunscreen will keep the knats from bitting. But to keep the sand flies from bitting your ankles every time you hook a fish. Ive used moth balls. You put some in a few socks and put them around your boat in the side compartments.

We fished the birds in the bay and caught 12 specks on saturday on live shirmp. Stayed away from the parking lot it was too crowded.

I have a male black lab. I bought the one for stuborn dogs with the 9v battery after he got hit by a car and broke his hip, you put a wire underground in a area. It worked at first but when he saw a cat he ran through it with a yelp. But he would come back through it and yelp again and I would know he was back in the yard. Big dumb male lab. Love him to death.

As long as he doesnt eat the duck before he brings it back. Retreiving a dummy and a duck is differnt to a dog. Try training him with something with feathers on it.

Ive seen them eat Honey locust beans. They are around 12inch long and black. They look like they are smoking a cigar. I wish I would have got a picture.
