Bring a bucket to put your fish in for the weigh in. All fish caught count, no matter how small. We don’t keep turtles or other things you might catch, only fish. We will serve jambalaya and hot dogs to eat after fishing while we are weighing and tallying the results of the catch. We will be giving trophies for the biggest fish and most fish in each age category. Also, we will be giving bikes to a boy and a girl in each age category. Every child there will receive a prize.

EASL Squirrel Rodeo Postponed to October 21-22, 2017
October 5, 2017 By
NOTE: Due to the weather expected with Tropical Storm Nate, EASL’s annual squirrel rodeo has been postponed to October 21-22. (It’s usually held the first weekend of Squirrel hunting season.) Per Byron Gautreau, chairman of the committee.
INFO: EASL hosts a very unique event on the opening day of squirrel season. It puts on a squirrel rodeo where entrants weigh in squirrels similar to a fishing tournament. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place “total weight”, and for “biggest squirrel”. All squirrels are donated, cleaned, and cooked up the next day at a Merle Gautreaux’s house. Every EASL member is invited to enjoy the squirrel stew — and the camaraderie of other members. There is card playing, tall tales told, hors d’oeuvres served, and sometimes a Saints game to enjoy. Todd Braud cooks up the stew, and other members bring the side dishes. The squirrel rodeo is definitely a very unique event, and one that everyone looks forward to in October.
Contact squirrel rodeo chairman Byron Gautreau for details at 225 936 9291 and see the latest EASL “Sportsman” newspaper for rules.
