The first hunt of the year was an amazing way to kick off the season. We never like to say one hunt “sets the tone” for the year because we’ve learned Mother Nature can change plans pretty quickly. We’ve had hurricanes roll through, hunts rescheduled, and seasons take unexpected turns that still ended up being some of our best.

But anytime old friends and repeat clients come back and bring a few new faces with them, it feels like the perfect way to get things started. This crew made their way down from Philly, Houston, and Atlanta and spent three hot, sweaty days in the marsh with us.

The heat didn’t let up, but neither did they, and the marsh rewarded them with some BIG alligators. Couldn’t ask for a better group to kick off another season with!

“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” — Fred Rogers

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who showed up when our country needed them most. Firefighters, first responders, service members, neighbors, and ordinary Americans stepped forward with courage, compassion, and selflessness. Their actions reminded us what it means to stand together.
As the sun sets on another beautiful, peaceful day in the marsh, we pause to remember those who never made it home, the families forever changed, and the heroes whose bravery will never be forgotten. May we never take these quiet moments for granted. God bless America.

Last but not least, Nate! Because he didn’t follow directions, please enjoy all of his answers instead of the two he was supposed to give. Also, based on what he claims he’s good at, it seems he’s the personality hire.😊

🐊 Capt. Nathan 🐊

Q: What’s more important: skill, patience, or luck?

A: It’s better to be lucky than good.

Q: Best eating fish in Louisiana waters? Most underrated fish to catch?

A: Speckled trout. It’s hard to beat a good perch jerk.

Q: What’s one piece of hunting or fishing gear people spend way too much money on?

A: The price of hunting clothes has gotten outrageous.

Q: What’s one thing you NEVER leave the dock without?

A: Sunscreen. I just don’t always remember to put it on.

Q: What’s worse: mosquitoes, heat, or an inexperienced hunting partner?

A: Skeeters!

Q: If you could only hunt OR fish for the rest of your life, which one are you choosing?

A: Tough question, but I’ll have to go with hunting.

Q: Who on the Nola Hunt and Fish crew would survive the longest alone in the Louisiana marsh?

A: Dougie Fresh, by a long shot.

Q: Alligators: are we hunting or fishing them?

A: Hunting.

Q: Who on the crew makes the best chef? The worst?

A: Brennan is the best. Unfortunately, I’m probably the worst.

A: Mechanic work is also not my specialty. Jacob is probably our best option.

Q: Who on the Nola Hunt and Fish crew would survive the longest alone in the Louisiana marsh?

A: Captain Doug. When you hear his accent, you’ll understand why.

🐊 Capt. Jacob 🐊

Q: What’s worse: mosquitoes, heat, or an inexperienced hunting partner?

A: Born and raised in South Louisiana, I can say the heat does suck, mainly because our humidity is always so high. But it’s something we learn to deal with.

An inexperienced hunting partner is usually someone new to the hobby, and I enjoy introducing new people to the outdoors. I’m also very patient with it.

So my answer is definitely mosquitoes. I hate them.

Q: If you could only hunt OR fish for the rest of your life, which one are you choosing?

A: Fishing was my life until I was about 16. Then I switched over to hunting and haven’t looked back.
I still really enjoy going fishing a few times a year with friends, but hunting is definitely my favorite hobby.

🐊 Capt. Doug 🐊

Q: What’s more important: skill, patience, or luck?

A: I think they all go hand in hand, but as Paw Paw always said, “It’s better to be lucky than good.”

Q: Best eating fish in Louisiana waters? Most underrated fish to catch?

A: Freshwater: sac-au-lait. Saltwater: cobia. As far as catching goes, I just like to feel my rod get pulled on.

Q: If you could only hunt OR fish for the rest of your life, which one are you choosing?

A: Although I love to fish, if I had to choose, I would pick hunting. It’s hard to top a cold, dreary January day in the duck blind or deer stand.

Q: When the boat breaks down, who on the crew wears the mechanic hat best?

A: Captain Jacob is probably the most mechanically inclined. However, Captain Doug has a special kind of Cajun ingenuity.

Prayer for Alligator Season

Heavenly Father, watch over every hunter, guide, and captain as they journey through Louisiana’s marshes and waterways.
Grant them wisdom, steady hands, safe passage, and protection from every danger they may face.
Through the intercession of Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers, guard all who travel by land and water.
During hurricane season, place Your loving protection over our homes, families, communities, and coastlines.
Calm the winds, quiet the waters, and keep destructive storms far from our beloved state.
Bless this alligator season with fellowship, gratitude, and safe returns home. Amen.
