Lone Star Outdoor News: Nick Conklin's excellent (angling) adventure
Jul 26
I couldn’t lament on my lack of fish; I had a flight to catch the next morning to Louisiana.
Excellent.
David J. Sams, founder of Lone Star Outdoor News, arranged for me to attend a seminar on coastal issues that was put on by the National Wildlife Federation.
After struggling with other travelers to board a flight on Southwest Airlines, I found a seat. While enjoying a most excellent nap, I was startled by a cold sensation in my lap.
I awoke to find the stewardess standing next to me, staring down at my now sodden shorts.
She had spilled a cup of cold water into my lap.
Bogus.
However, I got over this shortly and my britches were dry by the time I got off the plane to meet up with some other writers and National Wildlife Federation members.
After a wild drive delivered by an outdated GPS unit, we arrived at Theophile Bourgeois Charter Service and Lodge based at Barataria, La.
Myself and the other invitees came to learn about the diminishing coastal landscape that was being stripped from Louisiana at nearly 24 square miles per year.
But, we were also there to fish.
Definitely excellent.
