HUNTING & FISHING IN LOUISIANA 
(CONTINUED from page 109) 
substantial. In. some places we fished 
in twenty to forty feet of water; still 
fishing for sheepshead. You have to 
know how to fish for them as they are 
bait stealers. Keep the hook moving 
slowly and quietly up and down about 
a foot from the bottom, then hook strong 
at the slightest indication of a strike. 
They, as well as the red fish, are game 
to the finish. When hooked they dart 
along the bottom and throw themselves 
on their sides. It is then a tussle of 
short pulls and lengthening line, but as 
their mouths are strong and bony, they 
admit of strong pulls to land. Our 
custom was to kill and bleed all fish 
brought to boat except those we wanted 
to keep alive in the wells. 
Five of us landed fifty sheepshead and 
as many reds in an hour, and the larg- 
est, which was caught by the Catholic 
Father, weighed six pounds plus. We 
then moved in over the oyster reefs for 
speckled trout, red fish and croakers. 
We caught all different kinds in great 
numbers. However, hammer-head 
sharks broke our lines, and larger 
sharks took some of our fish off our 
hooks, leaving only the heads to be 
landed. But by evening we were well 
loaded. 
I hooked many clumps of oysters from 
the reefs, and cracked and ate them. 
They were delicious from the shells 
without any seasoning, as they were 
salty from the water. We left our sur- 
plus fish for the families on, the island, 
but took a goodly store on board and 
filled our fish ice chest with them, 
cleaned and ready for the pan. 
Our next day was for a prairie rabbit 
hunt on the Chenier Caminada. In 
this I took no part, but the party 
brought in twenty pairs and they fur- 
nished a delicious change of food in 
stews with dumplings. 
In flambeauing for the prairie and 
marsh rabbits along the bayous and 
shallow inlets, several deer were sighted 
by the rabbit hunters, and several dozen 
enormous edible bull frogs were brought 
to boat. No deer were killed, as all 
game laws were strictly observed, but we

ning cruising among the different is- 
lands. As only one more day of open 
season remained for duck shooting, we 
decided to drop over into Lafourche 
Parish through the Southwestern 
Louisiana canal into Bayou Bleu 
where we were assured of particularly 
fine French duck shooting and possibly 
geese on the prairie mud flats. 
This was a particularly beautiful 
afternoon, and while others of the 
party were taking their nap in the 
cabin, the writer took his mattress and 
blankets on the upper deck and lay 
above the bow where he could look out 
over the wide expanses of shallow 
bays, and sand and marsh islands. The 
sky and water were deep blue, and 
with the brown marshes and golden 
sand reefs, dotted here and there by 
clumps of stunted green live oaks, the 
panorama was particularly soothing 
and pleasing. 
i 
W E reached our new hunting 
ground about midnight, and by 
half past three A. M. we were 
aboard our dingey with pirogues at- 
tached and on our way through the 
shallow waters of the canal to Bayou 
Bleu. By daylight we were all scat- 
tered in our several natural blinds and 
this was truly mallard and canvas- 
back day — but we saw no geese. Peli- 
cans, cranes, droves of snipe and many 
mud hens were plentiful. 
The country was open save for hum- . 
mocks of marsh grass and roso, and the 
mallard and canvas-back were in flight 
for the wooded ponds far in the dis- 
tance. In less than two hours’ shoot- 
ing each member of the party had his 
limit of mallard and canvas-back, 
about equally divided, and every bird 
represented a separate shot. Our en- 
thusiasm for further hunting was on 
the wane, and all decided to work our 
way leisurely back to Grand Island 
for our last night’s rest in our big 
comfortable four-post bedtsi. While 
game and fish were plentiful, none of 
it was wasted. We had ample facili- 
ties for packing and keeping, and after 
distributing goodly quantities to our 
friends, each had sufficient for a week’s 
supply for his own family. 
I roamed about on the island Cam- 
nada and found many abandoned graves 
of the poor people who had died in the 
great storm. But one house remains 
on the island, and this is occupied by a 
Portuguese, his wife and ten fine, 
healthy children. They seemed happy 
and contented; but as they could not 
speak English and I could not speak 
Portuguese, I could not find out how 
they amused themselves or where they 
sought diversion. They had in prepa- 
ration an acre or two for cucumber 
hills, the soil of the island being par- 
ticularly adapted for cucumber culture. 
Our boat was now laden with sup- 
plies of game and sea food, and we de- 
cided to spend the afternoon and eve-
