re: Cork is going under tomorrow

Yes most use a cork, not weighted. Your choice of jig head weight depending on depth. I usually use 1/32 for fixing shallow right now.

I haven’t been since they moved to the bigger location where Sarita’s used to be. Went this week and great as always.
The brussel sprouts appetizer isn’t something you expect to get at a pizza place but man o man what a great dish. Highly recommend.

I’m sure it handles fine but don’t have personal experience with it. The 150 oughta push that boat well. I personally wouldn’t get a t-top on that size boat.
re: Battery Power Construction tools
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 2/13/26 at 9:42 am to Sunnyvale
Project Farm on YouTube has a ton of videos comparing various power tools. I have watched a bunch of his videos. Usually Milwaukee finishes is at the top and then Dewalt. I run dewalt just because that’s what I started with years ago and never changed up. But they come with a price. Ryobi is perfect for the average homeowner. They are cheap and have a more versatile product line.
re: Vacuum sealing your soups/gumbos/etc

Ive been sitting here wondering why one would need to vacuum seal soup. I either do exactly as you described or put in a containers. Nothing to it.
If you are doing a larger quantity it is certainly a lot easier to toss it in the chamber vac and let it do its job. That is if you have the device, if not then do it your way.
I am curious though, do you own a chamber vac and are doing this anyway? Are you just stating you do this because you don’t own one or is it not necessary to own one?

re: The Stale Cracker/plain water shrimp boil method?
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 2/7/26 at 5:10 pm to LSUballs
It works. I usually tie up my corn in a separate bag for soaking because they soak up the spice so quickly. The corn I usually pull out first. Potato’s are fine till everything else comes out.

Yeah they aren’t gonna soak up a whole lot of seasoning. Maybe better to make some type of spiced butter to dip the meat in.

Thank you so much. We were able to get some clip art images online I think will get the job done for what I want.

I don’t know what this is. I have someone that can make the shirts for me though.
Suggestions needed for custom Art Image Creation
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 1/13/26 at 2:09 pm
Recs for any businesses in the BR area that have reasonable prices to make a custom image which I can take to have put onto a shirt. I just need the digital image and will handle the process of getting it onto a shirt. I have no idea what the pricing for this so it may not be practical.
This would be a fairly simple image, at least I think it would be. I’ll add that this will be for a cancer fundraiser benefit and I want to make shirts for all the volunteers that will help with the cook.
Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Am I the only one who he thinks he should go Medium Heavy in 7ft if targeting reds?
Medium is plenty for redfish unless specifically targeting large bull redfish in which case a heavy action and size 4000 or larger reel would be better suited. The mediums can handle those also if you have some good braid but you have to wear them down for a while. Medium action will be more versatile for targeting slot reds and trout and would be my choice.

Really need a budget but here are a few tips
7 ft medium action spinning
3000 size spool
Preferred brands are Shimano and Daiwa for inshore. Penn is also quality. Pflueger and Okuma are good value.
Pair a rod and reel or combo with the above specs in your budget which I would say should be a minimum of $100-150 and you will be good to go.

I’m no expert on those areas but with this cold front I would go to the deepest water which would be MRGO out of Chalmette I think.
re: What line are y’all using for inshore saltwater (La)?
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 12/19/25 at 4:18 pm to Chipand2Putts
As others have said
30 braid on most all my setups
Fluorocarbon or monofilament leader of varying sizes depending on the application.

re: Heading to Lake Pontchartrain Saturday. Few questions?
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 12/17/25 at 10:09 pm to Chipand2Putts
The trout bite can be finicky and very particular about the presentation. Often the bite is very subtle like they will just pick the lure up. Shouldn’t be a problem for an experienced angler but I wouldn’t recommend for a novice.
re: Any water in Delacroix/Hopedale?
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 12/9/25 at 3:23 pm to Redlos
Yes . . I am pretty sure there is water.
I kid I kid.
Didnt go all the way down to Hopedale but just fished the MRGO around. Chalmette and it seemed plenty high

It’s not sexy or fancy but for good simple food at a great price go check out Country Kitchen in Gonzales for lunch.
