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

Another vote for Vacmaster VP230. I had a couple of friends recommend it when I was looking.
I have this one as well and its awesome. There is no comparison between a traditional vacuum sealer and a chamber vac. The oil chamber vacs last forever.

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.

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.

the land loss started in 1906 when the Corps of engineers dammed off the Bayou Lafourch entrance from the Mississippi River . Within 5 years salt water intrusion had backed up the bayou as far as the sugar mill at raceland. In the 1960 period there were dead oak trees along the road all the way to grand isle .
Agreed, in my opinion that has been by far the main factor, with hurricanes being the second biggest factor.

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.

Bow fishing definitely cant be good for the population but it is peanuts compared to the pogie fishery. their bycatch is nothing but bull reds. damn shame
I would agree with this. Back to a point I made earlier tho, is any fishing, rod and reel or bow, good for the population?

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.

There are plenty of fish other than reds that can be shot with a bow; sheeps head, black drum, flounder, carp, buffalo. May not be as sexy but i would rather fry a head than red.
No argument there, and I agree on the sheepshead being preferable, and also think flounder is as well as far as tablefare. So your issue with bowfishing is just shooting redfish, not so much the other factors being mentioned by others? I think I remember that you're a guide, so I'm curious as to what makes you say that.
