Fishing report blew away
The dog didn’t eat my fishing report this week. The wind blew it away. Last record I have of it was as it passed through Kentucky headed north at about 62 miles an hour. Actually, there was no need to go stand at the boat ramp, talk to any fishermen or call any bait stands … Continue reading

Fishing secret revealed
A few days back I wrote about meeting Mr. Alvin Green, the only surviving member of the Lake D’Arbonne Commission that was in place when the lake was built. Today, I’ll share his best kept fishing secret. But don’t worry, he said it was okay. “I had a whole tackle box full of baits back … Continue reading
Last cast from the Boat Show
Here are a few takeaways from this weekend’s big KNOE Boat Show in Monroe: 1) I was amazed at the number of folks who came up to the lakedarbonnelife.com display and, when I handed them a card with our web address, they’d say, “Oh yeah…we live up in Farmerville” or “we live up on D’Arbonne” … Continue reading
Healing the land
I don’t know if you noticed or not, but I don’t make regular fishing or hunting stories the priority in Sunday posts.

Dynamite, sweet tea and a fishing report
I think I’m ready for fishing season. I didn’t get any new USEFUL fish baits for Christmas, but I did get a Si Robertson bobble-head, complete with a gallon jug of sweet tea and signature plastic Tupperware cup. I also got two Redneck Fishing Lures. They are 10-inch long red sticks of fake dynamite! They … Continue reading
Lake ORKS
I’m a Lord of the Rings fan (and the Hobbit, even though movie lasts longer than waiting for George to set the hook when he feels a bass bite). The series is classic Good vs. Evil and I guess that’s why I am such a fan. I pull for Good. But every time I watch … Continue reading
It’s new! Eagle Point Boat and RV Storage
Kenny Cobb’s work takes the Farmerville resident all over north Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Starting here around Lake D’Arbonne, one thing he notices is a lot of expensive boats and RV’s sitting out in the elements in driveways and yards. In his travels, he has also seen a new trend in boat and RV storage … Continue reading
