Nineteen and counting

I used to be a fanatic bass fisherman (No, Little George, I didn’t say fantastic, I said fanatic). I went every chance I got. I fished for fun and I fished in tournaments and everything inbetween. I bass fished just because I am. There was no thrill in the outdoors for me greater than catching … Continue reading →

Many thanks, Jude

There is a young man named Jude I would like to say “thank you” to. You see, he once again proved my theory. It’s a theory I often get laughed at for…no, not just laughed at — harassed about. It’s my “just one more cast” theory. Actually, it’s more of a fishing philosophy along the … Continue reading →

One of my favorite movie lines of all times comes from Red in the “Shawshank Redemption”: Red simply says: “Either get busy living, or get busy dying.” I think that’s good advice for you no matter where you are in life.

My dad really DID grow up during the Depression as one of eight kids and yes, he did walk to school from his small two bedroom wood house near Ward Four in the woods near Grayson. I’m not sure if it was ever barefoot in the snow or uphill both ways, but times weren’t easy … Continue reading →

More on catfish

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ June 2, 2015 ⋅ Leave a comment

If it makes funny noises when you grab it, has whiskers and slick skin, it’s a catfish (or a slick politician, but you shouldn’t get close enough to one of those to grab them anyway….) That’s all the identification that some people need. But just in case you are a purist and want to know … Continue reading →

Catfish time!

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ June 1, 2015 ⋅ Leave a comment

Catfish don’t get much respect. But they get invited to dinner a whole lot! One of the best things about fishing Lake D’Arbonne this time of the year is the abundance of catfish. You can catch them from a boat or from the bank. There are very few areas of the lake that don’t have … Continue reading →

They are selling NON ETHANOL GAS right on the water. It sure makes it easier than having to … Continue reading →
