LIVE Hurricane Ida Channels.
Looks like it is going to beat the hell out of Grand Isle. That's the wierd "pointy toe" part of the state, and where we usually go fishing. My brother just got back from a trip down there the other day, caught a bunch of Redfish and I don't know what else. No Flounder, which is my favorite out of there. He brought back a shit-ton of shrimp, you can buy them right off the boat down there.

That is a Redfish, look at that nasty sharp ass tooth right where you want to put your thumb to get the hook out! Ouch, I have been bit many times by those: I always seem to forget at least once per fishing outing, usually the first one I catch. That tends to remind me for some reason...
Apparently, after my brother goes fishing down there a hurricane hits. Last time we went was right before Katrina, which leveled the hell out of our "fishing camp." It's not really our camp, but we usually go to the same spot, it is actually on Blue Bayou. I have always wondered if either Roy Orbison or Linda Ronstadt ever actually visited Blue Bayou or just thought it was a great name for a song.
I have to say I like Linda's version best.
Not to be confused with Bayou Blue, btw: that is a different one.
Storm surge is going to blow up the camp again, dammit. It is built on telephone poles, which helps it to survive most storms but big ones like this usually knock it down. Basically, it's a mobile home (singlewide) stuck on top of a bunch of telephone poles, so it's not too hard to rebuild...
