Why the fish aren’t biting
Have you ever seen those day-after-Thanksgiving pictures of droves of crazy shoppers pushing and shoving in line outside J.C. Penney anxiously waiting for the doors to open so they can bust in on the big Black Friday sales? Well, they aren’t lined up at the boat ramps, but that is kind of what the fishermen … Continue reading
ChaChing fir$t; then KaBoom…
Okay, hunting season is pretty much “in the books”, so I guess it’s okay to discuss this. If our wives see it, they’ll forget about the costs outlined below before next hunting season…I hope.

The amazing Glynn Harris
Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve enjoyed reading Glynn Harris’ outdoor reports on northeast Louisiana. HA! Now Glynn’s probably looking for me!

Fit for a King
The last time I won a crown, I was six years old and was named “Prince” of the big Morehouse Parish Cotton Festival in Bastrop (A lot of my friends are now rolling in the floor laughing now, I might point out. Really laughing). Except for Dr. Carl Turpin. He still hasn’t forgiven me for … Continue reading
