Those of us that had FTX wish we would've never done it, so don't feel too bad.

Now imagine being a property owner down there and in addition to the crazy property tax (both parish and town of GI) and garbage fees, every time you go down there with a 10' utility trailer to cut your grass or bring sxs, etc. back and forth, not to mention boats and campers, you have a $21 charge on your geauxpass account.

You're wasting your breath, the majority of people on this board hate bowfishing and anytime someone brings up a different opinion, it gets slammed.

All I know is the one in the school zone on magazine and napoleon absolutely eats in the afternoon.

Agree with what everyone has said, we run 3 banaxes and 1 tanacom and to be honest there isn't much difference. Wouldn't try to catch a sword on one tho.

Banaxes are what we use and we love them. LPs are the gold standard but as you know they do not give them away.

Don't forget bowfishing

Thanks for all the comments. Just to be clear, I agree that commercial fishing is much more "harmful" than recreational. I worked on trawl boats with my uncle growing up and have seen first hand the by-catch that is discarded. The amount of small flounders (just one example) that were caught and killed while trawling was sad. That same uncle has in the past, and has continued to argue to this day, that commercial fishing, including pogey boats, are not nearly as harmful to the fishing industry as something like bowfishing. That's just something i cant agree with. I say that just to show how different opinions can be and how people's backgrounds affect their opinions. And everyone thinks their opinion is the right one at the end of the day.

So the idea is to spotlight reds in shallow water at night and shoot them with a bow?

Where's the sport in that?

Just go shoot paper targets and leave the reds alone. At least with live bait and artificial lures there's a bit more even playing field. Plus, you can catch and release.

I don't get the attraction.

1) Simply put, yes.
2) If you've ever done it, you would know that its not as easy as it looks, shooting 50% would be considered pretty darn good (or maybe my normal crew just sucks)
3) It's not as "lopsided" as you think.
4) If you've never done it, you should at least try it once. If you hate it, at least you can say you've tried it.
