The dock we fished out of was Bayou Caddy and when we were leaving it was dark so we couldn't really see anything except a few missing planks Capt. Sonny Schindler warned us about. When we got back from a great day of fishing with Sonny, we noticed what damage had really been caused. This area was still recovering from Katrina when Gustav hit, and it left a big mess afterward.
There were sunken boats, boats half on docks, and boats hanging off into the water from land. The one that stuck out most was a big head-boat that was picked up and set right back down on a couple pilings that smashed right through her hull. After we loaded our boat up and were driving out, we realized how bad it was. There were boats on trailers on boats and just all kinds of mess. There were piles of debris along side the road, and even more boats.
If there is a hurricane coming with a 40 foot surge like Katrina or a just a 9 foot surge like Gustav, you probably need to move your boat somewhere else, like Tennessee.
