Hey spharis is your boat green? Do you ride on the Amite River? I have seen a Tige out here before usually has several gas cans on the teak platform.

[spharis]

No mine is black and white with a Monster Tower; and I have never been on the Amite. I was on Lake Bigeaux (Henderson Lake) yesterday though. I'll be on Indian Creek Resevoir and Red River Alex Oxbow next weekend, and Toledo Bend South end La side the next. Busy weekends head.

Here's some pics from today. I thought the water would be empty today, but I was wrong....there were more boats than I have ever seen. When I was pulling out the fuzz was pulling up, bviously to "help out" with some of the traffic. What is it with jetboaters anyway?

The water was like this most of the day.


Kids had fun...showing their character, "fun and friendly" and "billy bad ***"


Louisiana yard dogs were out in full force



Pics from the comp they were having at McGee's





And there was an older guy with a crew of teenagers driving this....I wish my pop would buy an RZ2 and drive me around on it.

That was cool. I like the local's (aka alligator). Okay, I have to ask. What the heck do you do about them when you are out???? I can't get the GF into the ocean because she thinks a shark is going to eat her at any time let alone an alligator.....

We board down here with gators all the time.they dont really bother with you. I almost hit one while I was on my board and thats about as close as I have come to maybe being eaten haha. we see them on the banks all the time. most are around 6 feet but there are some 10 or 12 footers out there. I have seen a half eaten deer in the water too it was about a 8 point

[spharis]

Usually we just ollie them

[da.bell]

Okay, that was what I thought but I had to ask.

Just make sure you ollie them or rail on them. That one could be funny.

[spharis]

I'm still trying to figure out if I should be insulted at the guy driving the RZ2 telling me....."that's a nice slalom boat" when I passed.

Just tell 'em it's paid for, that should shut him up! Now i know why you need that depth gauge so bad! 'tween gators and trees you got some obstacles!

[da.bell]

And we thought we had problems in CA right now with the drought.... He has to ollie 'gators.... he he he

[Domsz06]

i would love to ollie some gators!

[da.bell]

Dom, you would love to get out on a boat at this point. Common, tell us the truth....
