      We spent a ton of money on a Tuna trip out of Venice a couple of months ago. I think a trip like this would be much more funner and probably cost about the same.

                excellent trip and thx for sharing. The CI's are truly special and a place where memories are made.

                grew up in NOLA and fished the Chandeleur Islands dozens of times each summer during the 1980's. We'd even bring tents and sleep on the islands. My brother still fishes it once every few years and confirmed our favorite spots and campsites have long been gone.

                Originally, the CI's consisted of over 11,000 acres in the 1850's. Today, approximately 1,000 acres exist. The State has millions set aside from the BP oil spill. Unfortunately, it would cost $500M plus to rebuild the islands.

                the lighthouse was on the northern most point and our meeting spot ... early 1980's


                after Hurricane Georges in 1998


                pic from around 2004 ~ 2005 (pre-Katrina)



                the lighthouse vanished after Katrina

                pic of the islands from May 2022 ... 1 year ago


                no telling how much longer they'll be in existence ... 5, 10, 20, 50 yrs ?? One day all we will have left is pictures and memories. I WILL fish the Chandeleurs again before I go to heaven.

                    That looks like an epic trip. I had a blast there with TBH'ers in the past. Way to represent, folks.

                          You could see across Katrina pass the 1st time I went. They said it's over a mile now
