    Louisiana Limits!

    Dad and I headed out to Bayou Cook and limited out on Redfish (10) and trout (50) Yes, all the reds were under 20 inches (yeah, you are jealous aren't you?), and all the trout were over 13, but under 19. I cleaned fish for almost 4 hours. But there was beer involved. It's nice to have a designated driver.

    Dad didn't fish much, but I was more than happy to fill his limit for him as he rested back at the camp in Grand Bayou. Bayou Cook won't be there for more than a couple more years, but today it PROVIDED once again. Have you ever been too tired to reel in another fish? I got there today, and it's a great feeling seeing a trout take your Speculizer under and you just say, "Nah, I'll wait for another one." Hope I get to do it again before heading back to can't find the fish land. It was nice to have Dad out again. He hadn't seen the bayou in 2 years. - Sandy

      Why won't Bayou Cook be there for much longer? Mother Nature closing it in?

          Coastal Erosion/Subsidence. The part of the bayou where my old camp was (which was next to the spot where my great grandfathers camp was) is open to the Gulf now. What used to be miles of marsh is all 4-6 feet deep. The oyster shell pile that formed the banks of the bayou and worked like sidewalks from camp to camp (there were over 80 camps on the bayou in the 60's before Betsy), and the larger shell piles that acted as front yards for the camps that used to be as high as 10 feet high are covered by water, and all the camps are gone, save a single one. I would say it's just nature and change, but nature isn't doing it. The ineptitude of the Corps of Engineers is the cause, and the thousands of pipeline canals that were cut over the years exacerbated the problem. My family has been on Bayou Cook for 98 years, but if I ever have children they'll never even get to see it. It'll just be open water.
