In the top photograph, Eddie Krass shows off his catch but looking over his shoulder we can view some of the camps that once lined Hayne Boulevard. They include Six Little Fishes, Louis-A, Big Lou’s, and the Port Hole (formerly Amelia A). In the bottom photograph Helen Generos, a friend, Joan Bienvenu, and Harry Breaux enjoy boiled crawfish on the back porch in 2005. In the distance we see only Dan and Annette Rein’s Six Little Fishes. The others were destroyed by Hurricane Georges.

A volleyball game takes place in the lake along side Camp-a-Nella during the mid 1980’s. In this photograph can be viewed the remains of Sonny’s (which had burned), Red Jack’s, Chick-a-Dee, The Duke, and E’s and B’s among others.
