                      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.

                      .

                      Cool pics Blake! Camping? Guess them horse flies weren’t around back in the 80’s!

                        Looking at the picture of the southern I wish we would have all been standing out there waving for the camera

                        We all need to head down to the island together. Maybe pat will grace our presence again

                        Enjoyed it and talking fishing with the Ants

                                Thats it. We were on some boats out there. Not the rig.
