The wreckage gives mute testimony to the tremendous power of water.Д¬ash putted carefully around some debris, and dropped the anchor. The huge storage tanks on one rig were bent and battered, and what was left of the rig next to it looked like it had been beaten with a wrecking ball. The first stop was a pair of badly battered rigs surrounded by a lot of exposed debris in the water.

The seas were a solid 3 feet and building the farther out we got. We figured the shrimp would stay outside for a while longer, at least until the real cold fronts came down, and you know the trout will linger as long as their food supply does.Д«ut the heavy northwest winds made for a rough ride to Battledore. So far, a couple of minor fronts had moved through but nothing hard enough to displace the trout that have stayed congregated around the wells and rigs in Black Bay.ДЄnd there hasnвЂ™t been much pressure on the shrimp this season, simply because of the scarcity of operable shrimp boats and shrimpers.

Our original game plan was to head to Battledore Reef, where the action has been excellent all summer. The wind was blowing much harder than predicted instead of the 5-to-10 the weatherman called for, we had 15-to-20 blowing almost straight out of the northwest. The 225-horsepower Mercury EFI got us moving down the Back Levee Canal and then up Uhlan Bay into the bottom of American Bay. I saw only one other boat launch the morning we arrived just at daybreak, and we tossed our gear into CashвЂ™s 24-foot Kenner.

All the old slips and boat sheds are gone, and the hoist is inoperable, but the backdown is open, and theyвЂ™ve reopened the store inside a portable building set up on the old concrete slab and stocked it with some accessories. We arranged to meet at BeshelвЂ™s Marina, which took quite a pounding by last yearвЂ™s storm. I wanted to get a trip in before he switched gears and spent all his time in the woods chasing deer. Now he switch-hits between hunting deer with a bow, a muzzleloader and a rifle, and squeezes in some outstanding Pointe a la Hache fishing in the colder months of the year.Д«eing temporarily boatless and not exactly being the shy type, I asked Cash to take me fishing. HeвЂ™s fished the Delacroix and Pointe a la Hache area since he was a teenager, and he used to fish it year round until he got bit with deer-hunting fever. But one thing or another kept me away until I bumped into a friend, Tony Cash, who mentioned heвЂ™d been slaughtering trout there all summer.Д¬ash is a sales manager at Coca Cola, and as avid an outdoorsman as IвЂ™ve ever known. The fact is, itвЂ™s been my intention to get to the Pointe ever since Katrina ran over it and buried it under 20 feet of water. They seem absolutely unable to cut past all the peripheral and unnecessary details and simply get to the point.ДЄnglers would also be wise to get to the Pointe this month - as in Pointe a la Hache. That is a not-so-fictional account of how frustrating it can be to get information out of some people. POLICE OFFICER: вЂњARGHHH! Lady, just get to the point!вЂќ It took so long to get that appointment that I didnвЂ™t want to break it so I вЂ¦вЂќ Her birthday is Friday, but I wonвЂ™t be able to visit her on Friday because I have a doctorвЂ™s appointment about my bursitis. ItвЂ™s her birthday and вЂ¦ well, itвЂ™s not really her birthday today. I was bringing a potted plant to my Aunt BessieвЂ™s house. Now, did that car run the red light вЂ¦вЂќД¬ITIZEN: вЂњThatвЂ™s what I was trying to tell you. POLICE OFFICER: вЂњI just need to know what happened, maвЂ™am. At least she used to live there until the hurricane flooded her house. POLICE OFFICER: вЂњSo, the guy ran the red light and hit your car broadside?вЂќД¬ITIZEN: вЂњWell, I was going to my Aunt BessieвЂ™s house she lives just around the corner at 2121 Songbird Lane.
