ALL of these tech companies are just leaches it feels. Like you can’t just buy a product. No that would limit the companies profit margins. I get that garmin is a service, but damn… activation fees, monthly fee to have access, then 10cents a message….

Some how everyone was convinced that $20 month for a lifetime was better than a one time $500ish for photoshop. Adobe was at the forefront of this. It’s the way of the world.

Adding up my monthly fees hurts my soul each month. How many times did you even use “this”product this month? (Not talking about our great valued LAFB membership fee)

Just ranting

I have a EPIRB(gotta check the expiration on battery, but should have another year or two), a VHF with 48” antenna. But this has my interest

Their caller ID shows like “south central P” when they call. They should make it come up as LA CREEL or LDWF… I don’t answer ANY random calls

Im clearly late for my comments to be helpful for pre planning, but for future trips. On the section you have running to bayou B, all that shoreline can be great. Some of my best trips in lake borgne have been fishing the shoreline, and entrances to bayous directly off the lake, especially for trout. Without seeing what boat your running, i also have a hard time not checking the closer rigs, almost anytime of year. As long as you have clarity in the water, try them.

As far as tackle care goes, i have mixed feelings on it. I’ve rinsed rods and reels only to have the reels rust up. Ive gotten to the point where i really only rinse them after fishing true salt water, or after heavy use, and im doing that more for the slime, not the salt. I try not to spray high pressure on the reels. I do however completely tear my reels apart at least once a year. I am using mostly cheaper reels and mid range rods. I use “reel magic” on my reels after almost every use… This was recommended to me by gus.

Do you ever fish the camps in Bay Ronquille? Those camps are so cool, would make one hell of an airbnb.

I started looking at this area on GED while i was working on friday. Those white poles i see, they are for navigational aid? Or are they oyster leases? Im talking about the one right behind the school launch.

[Daniel_Gig]

Awesome dude. Looks like yall had a good time.

[Daniel_Gig]

Good luck. I’ve never fished Port Sulphur but want to.

[Daniel_Gig]

Yeah I don’t mind doing the survey, but it’s 2025, i quit answering unknown calls like 20ish years ago. Leave a message… (but they don’t).

Me and Josh were saying to each other that morning how something must be really wrong for us to be enthusiastic about launching into a storm lol

Are they doing it now because I have the offshore landing permit? They never used to do this. Or maybe they did and quit for covid?

[Daniel_Gig]

No, i mean if you don’t complete it.

[Daniel_Gig]

Definitely. Im down, let me know when.
