Good to see a fellow La resident. This forum never ceases to amaze me. Crawfish have been a little high this year. We've only had two boils so far. We can't wait till after Easter when prices go down. Lastnight we had a boil for a rehearsal dinner, but nobody has seen the boat yet. I hope to get it running for some trials by May. I'm looking to get to the first rigs to do some fishing this summer. Seems I've gained some extra friends at work when I explain the boat...everyone wants to go fishing

Welcome to the board Abe.

[phester]

welcome aboard Abe. That's the first v20 I've seen w/ a heli-pad. Cool set-up, good luck w/ her

[Bygracealone]

Welcome Abe,

I'm sure you'll enjoy the boat.

That's one way to turn her into a V23

Nice to have you here! Love the platform!

[macojoe]

Well you know your a Red Neck when you use house wire and 110 air to cool off a 10 cubic inch box, and add a deck off the back of a 20 foot boat!

Or was that you know when you are homeless when.............. O heck pass another beer, I want to be the first to use the 2nd floor to pee from!!

yeah for good friday we were going to get a sack but it was around $ 75 so we found some peeled la shrimp for about 3.33 a pound and made po-boys and they fried some sheepshead we caught in january. talk about good.

[Abe460]

Depending on the pounds of the sack that's crazy/robbery. Sacks are about 25lbs to 35lbs. We're going about $1.50 a pound...that's medium to large. On the other hand how the h**l did you get peeled shrimp for $3.33 a pound? For large shrimp with heads we're looking at $2.25 a pound. Nobody sells peeled shrimp here.

Sorry, but finally... you guys eat sheephead? They're so tough here that it's not worth the effort for the small gain.

Guess we could throw rocks at each other, but food is completely different. On another note: how was the gator this winter? Ours was scarce at best.
