One of the Facebook fishing group characters just posted a pic of of the trestles and it’s an absolute boat show right now. It will be unbearable this weekend

3/8 and 1/2oz jig heads against the bridges is all you need

Justin Bowles is as good as it gets. It’s rare someone as skilled as him ends up being that fun to hang around. Way too many cranky guides in LA. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you book with Justin.
There were no pitchers at that level in the portal this year. If you go back to the interviews last summer when the portal and freshman class shook out you could see that CJJ was visibly upset. This was the first year he couldn’t count on the portal

re: Recurring severe anxiety

Following up with on my other post but I would avoid taking any medication for anxiety. Again, the focus for long term anxiety remission needs to be an approach instead of an avoidant mindset. There are SOME pharmaceutical interventions that can help with SOME “disorders” but, in my experience, anxiety is not one of them.

As others have said, focus on behavioral levers that can work just as well. Exercise, diet, and community can help dampen the symptoms but I can’t stress enough that the only way to the other side of anxiety is through it. You need to switch your mindset to being “I am going to run right at and through my anxiety”. It’s meant to be a spiritual/heroes journey. It’s telling you something. If I had to guess you are an intelligent, thoughtful, and caring person. All of those qualities can be easily hijacked by anxiety but are so powerful when you’ve learned to harness them correctly. It’s so unfortunate that in modern living we’ve gotten so far away from understanding and using all of our emotions.

Look for a therapist that specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Many therapist do not understand anxiety well enough and will focus too much on symptoms or coping mechanisms that increase avoidance. To get on the other side of anxiety you have to move THROUGH it. ACT does well because it focuses on what works (exposure to underlying feelings) while incorporating meaning through values. It’s wild how quickly people can get their lives back when they are approaching anxiety the correct way. Like all emotions anxiety is meant to be a check engine light….its there to tell you something and for you to use it instead of it using you.
Check out books like “Hope and help for your nerves” and “At last a life” and “man’s search for meaning” as well.

As someone else mentioned, this would be a great time to get involved with church or strengthen your relationship with God in any way that works for you.

This is exactly right more often than not.

Having said that, a buddies friend just got into trout fishing this year and recently bought a boat. Went out to the causeway to try it out and brought home 20 fish. If a newbie is catching that many then that tells you just how many are out there right now.

From what I have heard, they are catching a few trout there right now.


Catching ALOT more than a few. It’s as good as it’s been in a long long time

Guess what, there has been zero less pressure observed.


The guides in LA who were catastrophizing on par with adolescent females are now loving only having to keep 15 fish and no guide limits. Ended up working out really well from a business perspective for them
I’m no expert but core strength, flexibility, avoiding sitting for long periods of time, and staying away from sugar/processed foods help my back pain more than anything else.
Lots of retards on here. You can choose to believe the sky is falling or choose to believe a 2x national championship winning coach will only use this season to get better. LSU fans give Bama fans hell all the time but we would have had people on here trying to run Saban off. CJJ is the modern Saban of college baseball so just sit back and let the man do his job

tl;dr 8 reliable arms will get you very far in the postseason.


Agreed. That was my point….we don’t need a ton of pitchers to be successful. If we could just get some consistency out of Evans or Moore then it will make the entire pitching staff exponentially better. We aren’t where we need to be but we aren’t that far from being really competitive either.
We were spoiled last year with the Anderson/Eyanson combo that so consistently ate up innings. If I’m not mistaken we won the NC series with 3 pitchers.
Schmidt looks like that type of guy but Evans inconsistency is making things tougher for the whole pitching staff.

If Evans can get to just continually reach 75% of his potential then I think everything else will fall together.

Facebook marketplace should have a ton, especially after this last season
The problem is that person who makes 150k is spending 8,400 on another buy out

I don't think JJ could do what PM did in that era


False. Im fully convinced LSU won despite PM.
JJ is a far superior coach in almost every way imaginable. It’s almost unheard of to have a Saban like attention to details while still having very little ego and understand player psychology maybe as good, if not better, than any coach in all of sports history outside of maybe Pete Carrol. CJJ is one of the best coaches across all of sports period

To have the type of team we expect at LSU we need guys who can contribute in whatever role Jay puts them in. We need guys good enough to figure it out even if they aren’t given a month long leash. Jay has shown he’s more than willing to play the hottest hand when a spot isn’t locked up so it’s Simpsons job to take it over.
My coach used to say, “play so well that you don’t give any other option than to give you pt”. Lots of guys need to adopt that mindset on this team

Never was the biggest Guidry fan if I’m being completely honest but he looks like a completely different guy this year. Credit to him and the staff. Happy to eat crow


Wild way to come out as gay on a message board
Can’t go wrong with either of the captains mentioned but I’d also put Justin Bowles on your radar. He’s who my family goes with when too many people are in town to fit on my boat
Try acceptance and commitment therapy. You can be self taught wi the books like “ACT Made Simple” and watching YouTube videos.

The good news about anxiety is it’s very simple to treat (doesn’t mean it’s easy). Attaching meaning/your values to gradual exposure is going to work most of the time.
