Catfish Heaven Aquafarm And Campground, St. Martinville, LA

o the 1st day there the owner told me to watch for the alligator in the back pond. He said I was probably OK, it’s been so cold and rainy he wouldn’t be on the bank sunning himself. I halfway thought he was just pulling my leg, but he insisted the gator had been hanging around in one corner of the pond, and they had been trying to catch him and take him to the bayou.
To catch him, I just threw the treble hook past him, reeled it up to him and snagged him. I hooked him and Sherry called Dave, but he got off and I actually hooked him 2 more times before I got him hooked good. I had to fight him for what seemed like 1/2 hour, but I’m sure it was just several minutes until Dave and his helper Jimmy showed up with a catchpole.

Poche’s Rv Park & Fish-N-Camp, Breaux Bridge, LA

As my friends and family know, I love to fish. While we were at Poche’s RV Park & Fish-N-Camp we had a pond about 10 yards from our back deck, a pond about 50 yards out the front of our RV, and a pond about 30 yards from the side of our RV. In total there are 5 ponds at Poche’s. They are stocked with bass, bream, sac-a-lait, and catfish. For my friends and family from IL, bream = bluegill, sac-a-lait = crappie.

For the next few days, we are boondocking on the beach just south of Galveston, TX. Beautiful beaches, soothing ocean waves, unbelievable views, and it’s free. What more could you ask for? There are a few other campers here, but not many. The closest one is 100+ yards away.

Speaking of the clubhouse, they also have a lot of organized activities; poker, potlucks, fish fries, pickleball, quilting, and bingo just to name a few. I played in one poker tournament, but other than that we were just too busy seeing the sights. Bayview RV Resort is in a great location for area attractions.

Wildlife in America, Rockport Texas area

The first group of photos is of roosting Sandhill Cranes. They roost in trees right across the street from the bay. Apparently, they are there all the time because there is a sign and fence around the area to keep people away. But the birds are used to people, there was a group of cars parked and people taking pictures.
