Enjoyable
The brief description of lakedarbonnelife.com on our home page says, in part, “People pursue outdoor activities because it’s fun, entertaining and enjoyable. That third part — “enjoyable” — can mean catching a bunch of fish, shooting a big deer, or just paddling down the bayou in a canoe, riding around the lake in a pontoon … Continue reading
The crappie limit
There’s a bit of confusion about the crappie limit on Lake D’Arbonne this Fall. Here is the story: * There has been a recommendation to lower the limit of crappie to 25 per fisherman per day on Lake D’Arbonne. That means 50 crappie per day for two fishermen. * The recommendation passed in the Louisiana … Continue reading
Don’t blame the Bluebird
Bright orange and gold light the eastern sky well before the sun is even close to showing itself. A streak of blue, growing more dominant as sunrise nears, adds to the majesty. The brisk morning lets the heavy dew live a little bit longer. There isn’t a cloud in the sky. The day ends that … Continue reading
Adversity = good fishing
My friend George and I know about adversity. Adversity builds character. Adversity also builds good fishing trips. Sometimes when we go fishing and there isn’t enough adversity provided by the natural order of the way things happen, we are just down right ugly to each other. That does it. It really works. The fish think … Continue reading
They’re schooling…
Today’s fishing report: They are schooling on D’Arbonne. OK, not the fish….the fishermen! About a dozen or so spots this week could double as a used boat show on the lake as white perch fishermen chase their favorite prey on the lake. Most fishermen are concentrating on the old river channels up the D’Arbonne and … Continue reading
Lake low…and busy…
Today’s business includes rounding up as good a fishing report for the area as possible so I can bring it to you in this space tomorrow. Sometimes fishing reports are a week or two old, or the information isn’t that useful (like the fishing report that is hand printed on an old wooden barrel top … Continue reading
It’s like spring…in reverse

Best catch ever!
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than jewels. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. — Proverbs 31:10 I have a little wooden sign that hangs over my computer desk that … Continue reading
Bow knows deer
I’ve never been inclined to bow hunt, In fact, I’d rather catch a nine pounder fishing than kill a nine pointer hunting. But that’s just me. Thousands of Louisiana sportsmen (and women) bowhunt every year. From early reports, this has been a great year to do that so far. There is a good deer herd, … Continue reading
