Plenty of light
If it wasn’t so hot, I’d really love this time of year. I still like it, though. Why? There’s plenty of light. It’s light enough to fish at 5:30ish a.m. and isn’t too dark to fish until 8:30+ p.m. If you like to do things outdoors, that’s pretty cool. Light even gives us a special … Continue reading
The Lake Mulligans
About two weeks into the first “test drives” of my website, lakedarbonnelife.com, in late 2012, two friends tried to help me spread the word by sending emails to all their friends and people who owed them money trying to help me boost my early readership. They provided morale and financial support. Both encouraged me to … Continue reading
Gator Getters
About ten times a week, someone comes to this site because they have “Googled” Jeromy Pruitt or David LaDart of “Swamp People” TV fame. Since I’ve written about them, people end up here by the search engine. Season Four of “Swamp People” is currently underway and the two area gator hunters are making their mark. … Continue reading

Kendall Parent of West Monroe delivered the first place catch to the scales, an 8.33 pound largemouth that netted him $3,190. That’s almost $400 a pound! He caught the fish Saturday morning and weighed it … Continue reading
The fish catch a break
The little dock was empty. The ice chest was there. There were rods in the rod holders.The yo-yo’s hung ready. It was the major biting period. The weather was beautiful. But nobody was home. Lucky fish “caught” a break!

There were two teams of winners as the 7th season of the North Central Louisiana division of the Fishers of Men came to a close last Saturday. The FOM final touranment was held on Caney Lake under overcast skies and temperatures in the mid-70s. The tournament winners were Craig Parker and Dusty Mobley, who weighed … Continue reading
At the bottom of Wham…
There’s probably a treasure trove of stuff that’s been dropped into Wham Brake over the past 60 or so years. Only bad thing is, it’s probably rusted, covered in years of silt…or worse. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend attempted recovery at this point. But if you have ever wanted to see what the bottom of … Continue reading
