Yeah the most fun I've had was helping run wingnets at night in my teens. We caught all kinds of stuff. My hands were so cut up picking shrimp in the picking boxes then when we were finished I remember washing my hands in dr tischnors or however it was spelled and burning so bad. Thats all the old man would use to disinfect hands after a night of running netsBefore the stupidity, BIL would jig for flounder at the port in the shallow water. Spot, stalk and drop a shad or mullet right on top of the flounder. He had access and the guards would let him in. He'd spend the afternoon after loading ships and come home with an ice chest full. Now, no one is allowed around the port. National security.
This is Lake Charles. And it has grown up a lot also with the casinos. Lots of people playing in the swamps now.
