Lotta good mowers out there. I love my Bad Boy ZT Elite. I found the bad boy ZT offers the most for your dollar regarding biggest transaxles, deck thickness, suspension, etc. Gravely is great but found that I had to go up in class and spend more money to get the same features.
My main recommendation is to buy from a local dealer and not from a big box store.

Sometimes I will use the shrimplets in a double rig under a cork whenever I know they are feeding on small shrimp. But I still prefer the bigger glide shrimp with the bigger hooks for bigger trout. Sometimes I rig the big ones in a double rig setup as well.

I would say GI is not different than anywhere else in South LA for plastics. Determine what the water clarity and depth you plan on fishing then go from there.
I personally like the marker 54 glide shrimp (not the jerk) when fishing a cork. Matrix shad for a swimming tail bait.
I usually have something rigged in doubles in case we find them schooled up and in a feeding frenzy.
I like big hard body swim and jerk baits to target bigger trout.
Having said that. If it’s a tournament you will want some live bait preferably croakers or pogies if you can cast net them.
Good luck as it was tough down there last weekend. Was hard to find decent water.

Is this real, because it’s pretty damn funny if it is.

Think I would drop my membership if they ever remove the scan and go. It’s great and makes it incredibly convenient to go in for only a few items.
In addition to some of the already mentioned items in this thread I buy all my garbage bags, paper towels, paper plates, and toilet paper from Sam’s. They also have really good pricing on big hotel size aluminum pans, aluminum foil, and similar items.

re: Parboiled rice jambalaya
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 5/19/26 at 6:27 pm to SUB
Very good instructions from Sub.
I like to do cook mine similar to his except I like to include chicken along with pork and sausage. I also like the 3 to 1 meat to rice ratio. Oh and I prefer to use temple meat for a small jambalaya. For big ones the temple meat is too expensive.

re: Meat Grinder Recommendations
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 5/18/26 at 10:10 am to Powerman
Definitely get a dedicated grinder. The kitchen aid attachments I would use only for very light and occasional work.
How do you plan on using it? If you are regularly grinding deer meat and such I would recommend getting something heavy duty.
I have a Meat double grind which has been awesome for ground meat. Double grind saves me from having to pass the meat through a second time.
The Cabela’s commercial grinders are pretty good too.

Maybe the old gen’s but not the new ones. People are still hung up on the old ones and all the problems they had. The new ones are a completely new design. Love my auto deploy.

I’d just like to add that you are awesome for doing this for your son in law.
I have one request for this thread and the op. Please follow up with a pic of the boat and/or tell us how this venture ends.

I have had mine about a year and a half now. I did a little research and talked to some folks before hand. Pulled the trigger on one of the new auto deploy models. It’s has been absolutely flawless so far. Guys I talked to said Minn Kota really put in a lot of time and effort into testing the new models with some local guides before rolling them out for sale to the public.
Also, it’s probably double the weight of the previous generation models.

Kemo l, use this link. Super easy. Choose the image you want to upload. Then it will give you a link. I use the direct link. Copy that address and paste it into the image link on tigerdroppings.

Anyone ever use Temu baits?
Posted by Mister Bigfish on 5/11/26 at 3:50 pm
Made a trip yesterday and my brother-in-law put a beat down on me with a damn temu jerk bait. I had nothing like it. The big speckled trout were eating it up. Sucker was laughing his arse off and talking shite the whole time.
