One day Boudreaux
and Pierre decided to try a new fishin' spot over by Bayou La
Fourche near Lacroix. Since it was so far from home dey
decided not to bring deir old leaky pirogue, figuring dat dey
could rent one when dey got to the landin'. Sure enough when
dey got dere, dat landing had plenty of dem spare pirogue to
rent out. Dey paid da tree dollar for da rental and set out to
find a good fishin' spot.
Dey paddled around a few bend in da bayou before seeing what
looked like a good spot. Dey started fishin' and immediately
started catchin' some fine "sac au lait"
(Sack-a-lay, white perch). After fishin' dere for a while and
catchin' plenty of dem fishes dey decided to paddle on down
aways to see if dey could catch some brims (brim). Before
leaving Boudreaux said, "Pierre, mark dat spot, we might
want to come back here nex' time," so Pierre did.
Dey paddled a few more bends and saw another spot dat looked
like it might be a good brim hole. Sure enough, dey caught as
many brims as dey wanted, so dey decided to try one more spot,
but before leaving Boudreaux said, "Pierre, mark dat
spot, we might want to come back here nex' time," so
Pierre did.
Dey paddled down another bend or two before seeing what looked
like a mighty fine spot. Dey started fishing and before the
mosquito could draw blood started catching some nice "shoue
pic"(shoe pick). "Dis is great" Pierre said,
"Clorise can make us up some of dem fish balls."
Soon dey had all da fish deir pirogue could hold so dey
decided to go on back to da landing, but before leaving
Boudreaux said, "Pierre, mark dat spot, we might want to
come back here nex' time," so Pierre did.
Dey got back to de landing about dark, loaded up deir fishes
and headed on back home. As dey wus drivin' home Bourdreaux
asked, "Pierre how did you mark dem spots?" Pierre
answered, " I put X's on the bottom of dat pirogue."
"Pierre!," Boudreaux shouted, "We may not got
dat same pirogue nex time!" |
