AMEN Mojo and be safe!

Ditto from me and mine.
All i have left to do is get the cob webs out of my coleman stoves and lanterns and fire them up sun for a test burn.
hopefully all that have a little common sense have moved out to high ground.

So I guess capt. john is still down in buras!

To all of you that live down along the coast and the areas the hurricane may affect, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I sure wish it would take an alternate route and fade away into the sunset, but unfortunately, it does not look that way. I will be watching posts after everything is said and done, and I hope to hear positive findings. I can hope for the best, but hate to think of the worst of what Gustav will do. I wish I could go down and help, but my employer said my brother and I can not leave due to the possible affects it will have here in the Shreveport Bossier area. I will be thinking of all of you down there and I pray for the best. You all remain safe and take care, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

MoJo, Stay safe! I am a God fearing man. I am on the Rosary. This storm is making Katrina look like a Sissy!

Guys i am hopin it don't come up that river or we are done.. Good luck to ya all i'm ridin it out unless it comes up that river!!

This is for everyone, something you can do if you are caught up around the house and have your family taken care of you can go by your local fire station and help with sand bagging operations (help fill sand bags for people). I just got back and I can tell you it is needed and appreciated especially if you should go by yourself, it's two person job.

You're right trout assassin. Its looks like its on a direct course up the river. Lets hope is loses energy fast.
Good luck to all. Be safe.

Fellow LA Sportsman Readers:

It is surreal that 3 years ago I sat at this PC in a hotel in Monroe, LA. and watched as our world in Plaquemines Parish and across south Louisiana and Mississippi was changed forever.

Rebuilding down south in the Parish has been slow, but the Sportsmen and women prevailed and were lucky to once again enjoy some of the BEST fishing on the planet in Venice.

As I did for Katrina in 2005, I left quickly on Friday with my two dogs to beat the rush and this time headed to Birmingham, Al (elevation 100+ feet!)

Let's all pray for the storm to weaken somewhat and go anywhere BUT the west side of the Mouth of the River or the entire Westbank and beyond will be underwater.

MAY GOD BLESS ALL YOU GUYS IN THE LOWER PARISHES. I LIVE IN OPELOUSAS, MY WINDOWS BOARDED UP AND I WILL RIDE IT OUT AND PRAY AT HOME.
