missing ponchatrain boater

[BIRD DOG]

Glad to see every body made it!That lake can get real bad.I fished a tournament one time and launched @ the Rigolets,we didnt do any good in the area so we ran over to Carr Drive to fish on the inside.When we came out it was like 3 to 4 ft seas and I was in a 15ft Manchac @ the time.The Coast Guard was sittin out in the lake in one of those rubber boats with a cabin and when they saw us tryin to make it back to the Rigolets they followed us the whole way!I busted the console loose,the middle bench,and all the lights fell off the boat!On the bright side we took several places in the tournament and won lots of prizes!
