Big_John: The fishing has been kind of slow for a week or two. We have had violent thunderstorms for quite a while. When the water gets messed up from the storms, the fishing isn't good. The early spring and summer fishing was fantastic. However, I don't do much 'deep sea' fishing. I don't enjoy catching the big game fish. I like going after the trout that weight is under 4 lbs.



Oh Yea , I Love to Catch the Trout too, I also Lived in New Orleans, off and on For 20 Yrs..... Ha, I have fished all that area down there, Tho Have a Friend who wants do do the Deep sea Thing, at least once..... I used to Go Trawling, Crabbing , Fishing, Aligator Hunting... I worked Several Years in the Shipyard in Harahan, La. Nice you have some visitors Coming, Make sure to show them The Tulaloues, Ha!

You Can Have alot of fun in Fat City, In Metarie La,

Many people go there over Bourbon Street, But fat city you just walk from Bar to Bar Too.... and watch for Crime, dont be in the Dark allys, Many dont go Home, the Crime Rate, is Outragous,, as I had a Brother Murdered, Downtown N.O. , Close to Bourbon Street, so remember that...

Just a word of Caution.... I Lived Therethumbs up uh oh teddybear



Hi Kat, Hi Owen, just stay out of the Dark areas!

Oh great! Thanks Larry! Cat will back out before we even get there! sigh

I love fishing in the Gulf! Nothing like it! I once caught a 7 lb flounder & entered it in the fishing rodeo. It was in second place for a while, then I got knocked out. But it was good eating!! thumbs up

We had friends down there who were shrimpers. Got fresh shrimp right off the boat!! And crab too!!

Hi Owen, Cat, John, do look into fat City if you arent Familuar with it.... It Keeps you out of the Heart of Bourbon street, but so Close, I havnt been there for about 20 yrs, but it was a Neat Place.... I think it was off Metarie Bvd, and Runs Parelel to Airline Hwy. Airline Hwy Runs in Front of the airport, turn left on airline Hwy leavin the airport, cross Clayborne Ave then just ask someone..... Fat City s in Metarie, right before Down town

I dont have a city Map here and this atlas dont show it.....

tho it is a HOT SPOT To Party!!!grin wave

It Beats the Trafic a little

Larry isn't what it used to be. Here is a short story from the news:

That Fat City -- once a popular and busy commercial district of Metairie -- has deteriorated to broken streets, convenience stores drawing loiterers and lounges attracting a criminal element is a major reason Jefferson Parish District 5 Councilwoman Jennifer Sneed said she is leading the charge to revitalize it.

I wanted to volunteer, but my boss said I was needed at work & he couldn't let me go. My father was there through Katrina. We moved him up here afterward. He'd planned on living out his life & being buried down there, until Katrina hit. When I go down, I need to go by his house & see if it's even still there & what condition it's in, if it is.

The central part of New Orleans with the tourist 'stuff' was never damaged by Katrina. The out lying neighborhoods are the ones in bad shape. The 9 Ward is still a disaster!

The 9 Ward is the most popular area where the TV crews were filming. Everyone's view of Katrina and New Orleans is from the 9 Ward.
