  • Enjoying the summertime, on the houseboat, back on Louisiana Lake Fausse Point. Crabbing on the north side of Weeks Bay. 6 crab traps baited with catfish. Attempting to toss a cast net for the first time after many years. Running crab traps, then we get back to the houseboat and Capt. Dee and I have us a crab boil. Dee does some fishing, without any luck
    of catching. Enjoyed the evening breeze and the cool AC inside. It had become dangerously hot so we decided to stay only one night.
    Boat riding the bayous enjoying the scenes and the bright sunshine. There is nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors of the South Louisiana Bayous and Swamps. Houseboat life off grid living life the Louisiana backwoods back bayou lifestyle. When the time comes, we will move deep into the back swamps

      @lutherprince9304 the crabs came out really good and Dee did a awsome job on breakfast. Took me a minute to figure out how she cut the potato into 4 and only put 3 in the pot with none left on the plate 😆. Dee made fun of me until I figured it out.

    Good food and cooking regardless ! When I learned cast netting 1-2 clumps in the arm and held the weighted end in my mouth (brackish water) for a rounded open cast, but like you I wouldn't try that in mud !

      @Timewalkerv I've never been brave enough to try the weight in the mouth. It had been many years since I have tossed a cast net. Took a second to remember how to hold it that I was comfortable. The first cast was nowhere near held correctly. The second way works best for me, does not take as much effort to get it out there.

      @williamwelling4872 yeap. I did have a pole that I made to grab the corks, but left it home. Normally I captain the boat better where I just need to reach close up.
      You are definitely right. When them backs start to get some age, it ain't always good.

    I will never forget:
    My 1st trip to Lafayette Louisiana and watching a husband/wife using dip-nets in the drainage canal next to the road and wondering what they were catching. That night I had my first "bugs", aka crawfish. That Crawfish Etouffee was one of the best meals of my life.
    My 1st trip to the bayou with Louis & Carl Porsche (and friends) to catch alligator snapping turtles. Met my new Coonass friend who waded out in a slew (wearing only his underwear) and feeling the bottom with his feet to find a turtle. When he did, he brought up a 45 pounder with a head like a football. The turtle was processed and cooked rendering yet another Louisiana culinary delight. I loved the meal, but I'm going to let Billy (my Coonass friend) do all the catching. I asked him, how do you avoid the head when catching them. He explained you feel around with your feet for the tail (has large bumps on it) and ya want to stay away from the head. I just looked at him ... ... ...

      @richardgreen7811 not going to catch me feeling around in the mud for one of them alligator snapping turtle. That is something you leave to the rare few to do. I kinda like my toes.
      Sounds like you had some great adventures. You gotta love the experience.

    Been catching up on your houseboat build. Got to say spectacular job! What a beautiful rig!! Those crabs looked good man! Can’t wait for the weather to cool off it’s been brutal! Quick question is it ok to just leave your houseboat out anywhere? Do you need a lease or how that work? Great videos! 🦀🙏

    • @BoondockingCajunstyle

      @Marsh-Mechanic I have been hunting hard trying to find correct information. From what I have found is, you can not block navigation water ways, something about not being able to park on scenic rivers and there was something else,not remembering exactly right now. Where I have ours parked at I have not had any issues. I'm completely out of everyone's way.
      There are so many laws that change every year that it is impossible to be able to know all of them. And finding the regulations and laws is also almost impossible to find.
      If you tie up on lease land then you need to have the lease for it.

      The only issue that I have had, was the other day when I needed to take it out of the water. I had it at a local boat launch completely out of everyone's way. The Parish wasn't happy about it being there for a day and had the sherif contact me about it being there. I was able to get everything worked out without any more problems.
