Upper limits

There are some vocal critics who are not happy with the new 25-fish limit for white perch on Lake D’Arbonne and one question they’ve raised is just how far up Lake D’Arbonne this limit applies.

Lake D’Arbonne: Was it worth it?

Take our what?

Okay, Duck Dynasty fans. The wait is almost over. The “new” season for Duck Dynasty begins Wednesday night, February 27. Mark your calendar.

The Super Bowl…of fishing

It’s the Bassmaster Classic, the Super Bowl of fishing, and the show that goes on is always world class. Bassmaster Classic fans can always expect a world-class fishing competition. But lumberjacks and Labrador retrievers?  Count on it — and much, much more.  With less than a month to go until the Feb. 22-24 Bassmaster Classic, … Continue reading

El Grande’ Pescado!

Even though my fishing buddy George has been out of work since late last year, we still haven’t been able to go fishing as much as we’d like. A lot of it is weather related. But it seems like George has picked up a whole new outlook on things and he is trying to bring … Continue reading
