I was raised a "River Rat". Anybody that "gets it" knows a river will bring you more adventure than ANY lake, including the Great Lakes that I'm surrounded by here in Michigan, BY FAR! Wildlife especially! Fishing? MORE SPECIES! A chance to get dirtier? HELL YES! I'll NEVER CHANGE. (I just found your channel, new sub.)

[@datlouisianalife]

I was always called a "Bayou Boy". All the same to me. We all know how to enjoy rivers and bayous in our areas. Being out there on the water is like nothing else. Hard to understand it unless you live it. Thanks buddy! 🐊

[@tymesho]

@@datlouisianalife Couldn't have said it better. It starts with a river's smell. Every creature, plant, mixed with topsoil and a dead tree on the ground, all rolled up together. You add that smell that comes from backwater. Top it off with ozone from the morning dew and the first breeze of the day and THATS the meaning of being "alive". Lol, there's way more to it, but I call that "tomorrow". Be well~

Nice video. We live in Gentilly but we been having our eye out for us a camp. We were looking hard at a place on Irish Bayou but there were just too many issues and it looked like an easy knock-down in the next big storm so we had to give it a miss. Still got our eye out. Considering a couple sites down Bayou Barataria and on Bayou Lafourche, too. A floating camp is not out of the question but we really want to be on land, just overhanging the water, and we want to catch shrimp and crabs from the porch, but we like freshwater fish, too. There just isn't a perfect spot except the one that's yours that you make perfect.

[@datlouisianalife]

I would love a camp on land right on the water but I'm not sure where I would want it. My house is so close to where I love to fish, it almost feels like a camp. Hurricanes are definitely something to consider when looking for a camp around the south. Good luck with your camp shopping. 🦐🦀🎣
