Try taking your sail boat a half mile through the bush to take your
twelve year old son fishing in a lake teaming with 2-3 pound big mouth
bass. 6 AM to Noon he caught eight of them, some of which I had to
practically go on shore to get out of the water. Paddling back to the
landing, I had a hell of a time steering the 12 foot canoe until I
took the stringer of fish out of the water - those damned fish didn't
want to go the direction I wanted to go!

Sounds like some of the territory we used to fish in the Atchafalaya Swamp.
Right where lots of Swamp People is filmed. Been to Every location they
show. But in the interior of the Atchafalaya, we would go through stuff in
a little pirogue, or pull a 14' aluminum over levee after levee to get to
special lakes where we would catch more fish than we wanted to clean. I
miss the food and fishing in Louisiana. My crystal ball tells me I'll be
spending some time there soon.
