Just got back a couple of days ago with the lady friend and new editor of the Times Record here in town. Great time and the waist line is showing it as I think I put on 8 pounds worth of Crawfish, Boudain, Pistolettes and ettouffe. Got in a little Cajun music at Fred’s lounge in Mamou for good measure as well.
I also got in a chance to do a little fishing while I was there. Weird law they have is if you are fishing on a private pond, no license is needed at all. She has a friend that had a nice little pond of bream (what they call panfish) and bass and we got a chance to do some inshore fishing out of Lake Charles as well. Kind of a windy day making it tough to catch anything but got a couple of Redfish and a Sheepshead. Not an eater but it was pretty cool to see first hand the fish with human teeth. Just don’t stick your fingers in there like you’re lipping a bass or you might not get your fingers back!
