A morning with the Poste Lafayette fishermen

Out before sunrise in a wooden pirogue, with a family that has fished this lagoon for three generations.

The boats leave at first light, when the lagoon is flat and silver. Lines, bait, a thermos of sweet tea — nothing else.

Our skipper learned from his father, who learned from his. He reads the water the way you read a street sign.

By nine the catch is ashore and cleaned. By noon it is lunch.
