Gratitude for a warm welcome in Calcasieu and Cameron Memorial Day Weekend
The children were a bit tense when we hit Hebert's yesterday morning for the creel survey, with some of the usual teenage snapping and such. But the friendliness of the anglers and crowd immediately put everyone at ease and in spite of having weekend plans beyond fishing, almost everyone we asked let us weigh and measure their fish, some even complimenting my children on their politeness and interacting very positively. We measured fish until 1:30 or 2:00 pm and then my younger son (the lead on the project) decided to head for the jetties. We stopped for icees and snacks at a gas station where 384 and 385 intersect, and both the proprietor and the deputy in the store were extremely gracious and kind interacting with my children. And then the folks pulling out at the jetties boat ramp were also fabulous and gracious. Everyone was tired and hungry after fishing, so we stopped at T-Boys (on Route 27 where the W Creole Hwy turns back to the North). Not only was the food fabulous, but even though we walked in right before closing time, the staff was friendly in the extreme both to me (long haired, scruffy, and smelling of fish and crab) and also to my three teenage children. It is great to be back in SW Louisiana. I hope everyone appreciates the tremendous blessings we have here, and I'd like to thank everyone for a warm welcome to my children and I. I hope everyone continues to have a great weekend. |

I might of been at Jt's at the same time as you. Do you have a boat with two different size motors on it? If it was you I wish I would've known and stopped to talk to you.

You may have missed the name on the side "MathGeek Trout Machine." It was named after freshwater trout, which we became very good at catching on the troll and even landed a contract to test baits for a major supplier. We've discussed various new names for our preferences in LA. The children are leaning toward "Little Drummer Boy," which I like too. We've also discussed "General Lee" but the boat is really too slow for that and there are possible negative connotations. |

No control issues at all, but top speed is only 22 mph when running. A 15 mph cross wind or a 3 mph cross tide are bigger control issues than the off centered mounted motor, and neither of those is a big deal, just more noticeable.
