Random fishing camp remembrances: The last trip.

[coachlaw]

If you hit Meyers Canal to Grand Bayou, you bypassed Bayou Cook. The camp at the mouth of Grand Bayou and Bay Bastian had been many things, most notably a DANCE HALL! My grandmother had stories of ROWING there to dance when she was a teenager.

When the structure of that place was gone, after some storm or another, we went out there and cut the pilings down. We floated them back to our place and jacked up the back of our camp with them. Those pilings are still there.

You definitely went into the Delta Marina. The only operator I can ever remember was Jimmy Martinez, though I'm sure Squeaky was his predecessor.
