So I just finished dealing with them. I spoke to the guy one day, he said “call me Monday, I’ll tell you what time I’ll be at the shop”. Then he completely ghosted me. I needed a card exchanged. So I took the bad card taped it to a note and mailed it them. A month later (this past weekend) I got a UPS urgent delivery from them. Sent me the new card. They clearly don’t care about customer service. They’ve no doubt lost tons of sales because no one can get them. Pay some person $20/hr to run the shop! Smh. Sad.

That is the problem I’ve had with destination fishing. You have to book so far out that you never know what the weather will do. Sounds like yall made the best of it.
I know the focus of this group is to “catch more fish” and we use a clicker to judge the quality of trips, but I have to keep reminding myself when kids are involved, ITS A GREAT TRIP, even if all you caught was the breeze… because that’s what excites them. I remember one of my little ones caught a catfish, he was excited till his older siblings starting calling it a trash fish… all about perspective I think. Thanks for the report

lol on the Louisiana legends podcast I think @ShooterMcGrabbin said something like “if you were going to bump into someone down in port sulphur it’ll likely be frank!” lol

Thanks for the report cliff. Man… this year this mrgo didn’t give up as many big fish for me. But I think the reason is I didn’t go put in the work. I still caught some nice ones, but I think I gave up too soon this year.

I don’t know if you know or not, so I’m mentioning it, this route you have for the twin pipeline. It is blocked off at the entrance where I circled. You can still get to it, you just have to get there through the next opening. Also noteworthy, a lot of the lakes off that pipe line are only a few feet deep. Like maybe 2-3’. Most are passable but be mindful of where you are before you come off plane.

Logan is who I was dealing with before he ghosted me.

I’m shocked to hear that. But how many captains, maybe 100 state wide? The rest look like they are… here on work visa’s that expired 25 years ago making $10-15hr.
It’s easy to say fuck that guys job. It’s his job, not mine. Can he work elsewhere? Most likely, but as a fellow worker, I don’t think it’s right to look it at that way. I also feel the same way, f’ his job, but on principle I have to refrain myself.
But I think there is a world where both can coexist. The legislation proposed isn’t going to outlaw the industry, just tighten the reins a little. If the resource belongs to the state of Louisiana, for the benefit of the citizens, they just need to let the citizens vote on it.

On the bean bag chair… it makes me wish my boat was an open deck layout with only the captains seat being fixed in place, then do bean bags everywhere else. Instead I have rod lockers and BS everywhere that makes a 21’L x 8’W boat feel cramped.
I hadn’t heard anything particular about the rigs yet this year. This trip was after me and joshes trip to Delacroix where we hammered them, one of those days that felt like the catching wouldn’t end. Instead of going back to the same “well”, I wanted to scout lake borgne. I don’t eat a lot of fish, so FINDING and catching 5 or 6 (or 2 like this day) from scratch, is more rewarding than going back to where we left them (not that I’m above hitting the same spot over and over, if it’s producing). Plus, going all the way to Delacroix requires a lot more travel by car coming from slidell then going to chef harbor.

Marsh demon is in both of those stores currently. I believe Chags has more inventory since they just restocked . There is also a feature on the website to “pick up in store” if you are near the westbank.
