The memories of that place when we were young will never be the same, as it is the beach itself is nowhere near what it was when we were coming up, but theyve been rbuilding it and I too was goingt o take my little girl and wife there for the first time this summer.
It will be one of my lifes regrets that both of them could not see grand isle before the oil. People who are no from here and grow up the way we do living on the water just never will understand. These waters are all we have...

How old are you? 33 here. My birthday is in June, we use to rent a camp there for a week every year for my birthday from as far back as I could remember till I was 10 or so. Last time I was down there was before Katrina. Was looking forward to going back this summer.
Surf fishing, running crab lines along the beach, floundering at night, fishing off the pier at night under the lights catching school trout... lots of fun.
