I find it very interesting how you bring up feeling depressed slightly about how the natural resources are cared for down there being from Missouri myself. My wife and I just got back from a trip down there in New Orleans and the Lafitte area. I honestly think it’s because you get used to the area your in and how it’s cared for. I say that because my wife and I loved how the people in Lafitte really seem to care for and about the community, and how it’s taken care of compared to the majority of communities like it here in Missouri. I’m happy you enjoyed the trip you had up here but trust me there’s a lot of the trashy messy stuff up here too.

Well down in Hopedale a lot of folks almost don’t even want there to be land anymore, because its easier to get to the “swimps” if everything becomes open water lol! Ohhh so many complaints from the locals about the Mississippi River sediment diversion thats meant to save the place from becoming Atlantis. Plenty of rubber tires and trash laying dumped around everywhere to float on when it finally sinks, though. I almost stepped on a whole kitchen knife thrown on the ground at Shell Beach when I was down there fishing last week. I used to pick up all the trash at my fishing spots but every time i would go back it would be right back to how it was. Don’t even bother anymore. I make sure to pack all MY trash out down to the smallest clipping of monofilament line, though.

This is a great compilation to share with someone who hasn’t watched Outside The Levees 🐊 before. Catching supper for your family in resourceful, affordable and simple ways. Doesn’t get any better.

Great video Jared, we sure do enjoy your videos! Your faith, family, culture and involvement with your community! We have never understood how someone can throw trash on God’s land that he has provided for us, very sad indeed 😢! Thanks for sharing! God Bless you and your family!

Really enjoy these long vids, the river talk segment should be a series for you to every now and then add.

Catching 🍽 supper 👍💯

Hello 👋 Jared, when I was a youngin and my grandparents would take us to a river and dip net sea run smelt, it was the same thing. Dragging the net against the current was hard work, but the pay off was 5 gallon buckets full of smelt from 10 to 16 inches. They are a real soft meat fish, but amazing for smoking

Hey Brother good one. Thanks for cooking mullet. I’ve been wanting see a mullet cooking. You’re the best.

Thanks for watching

I totally agree with you and the disregard folks have for the environment. Here in southwest Louisiana it’s the same in our ditches, beer cans, bottles, fast food trash, you name it. It needs to be enforced and taught to our children. It is sad.

Very sad

The best thing you can do is trust God and let him lead you. I find that if I do the things that I like to do, even if there are times when support seems very distant, there will always be people that can relate to you. Jared, stay humble, and do what you like, keeping God first in your life. Relating to Him is more important than anything else.

Loved this video

I enjoy watching you throw that net. I especially love shrimp. You are a lucky man to be in the seafood capital of the world with so many varieties of seafood.

I enjoyed this video very much and I'm glad you spoke your mind about pollution by the people you thought would cherish pleasure spots for fishing, crabbing, and shrimping. Take care God bless you and your family.🙏

I was at that exact spot with my farther in law on Saturday trying for crabs. We did ok but they were all really small. We did have fun!!

I’ve been there. The mullet would be swarming on that outgoing tide. Brings back the days.

I Love Shrimp!!!

All that hard work got you breathing hard...lol. Getting ready to plan a trip down that way in Oct., my wife is graduating from an online college and will walk across the stage down near Baton Rouge so we will stay at Monty's place and do some fishing. Great video God bless and see you on the next one.

Hello great videos. Can you do a video on how you freezer your fish and crabs and bait.

Embark on a delightful adventure of roadside and shoreline shrimping, crabbing, and fishing for a satisfying catch-and-cook experience!

Looks like it would be more effective to slam the net down at the very opening of the tile and hold it in place instead of scooping. That way the current forces the shrimp into the back of the net and helps keep them there. Then check the net every minute or two.

@OutsidetheLevees

It doesn’t catch as well unfortunately

Man has good eyes

I remember my aunt telling me that I was crazy fishing in the rain. Crazy were those people that did not know where to catch the fish, but I always caught fish. I was not catching just for me.

Eel are edible. I have had one and I hate their flavor. It is a strong oily flavor. If you like anchovies then you will like eel. They are cooked all kind of ways. 28:55

We had a good time in New Orleans. But my idea of vacation and my wife's is 2 different things. I didn't get a chance to put a line in the water.

Could you explain what the keep regulations are for all your types of gathering and fishing. Like, what species, size, quantity. Would be interesting.

Eels taste like catfish and you can skin it like a catfish cooking hole like a catfish and the meat pills away from the bone like a catfish
