Thinking about crappie cash
My favorite outdoor writer ever was Patrick McManus. He wrote a monthly column for Outdoor Life magazine back when it was about real hunting and fishing. He also wrote some great humorous books. Outdoor Life put his musings on the back page, which is why, I think, someone coined the phrase “saving the best for … Continue reading
Not easy to hear
Proverbs 15:1 — “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.“ Sometimes, there are Bible verses that we don’t want to hear. Right? Like this one: But they are pretty easy to understand, aren’t they? The tough part of this is when to speak up and when not to. We … Continue reading

The four-year drain is on
The every-four-years-no-matter-what drawdown is on at Lake D’Arbonne. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) had earlier announced that the drawdown on the Union Parish lake would begin, September 8, but due to concerns over flooding in Hurricane Laura, which thankfully didn’t materialize, the lake drawdown is already underway. The drawdown is supposed to … Continue reading
America matters
Burning cities. Looting. Murdering. It’s against the law of man. It’s against the law of God. But the lost among us do not care. And those that stoke the fire of hate against our land do nothing to bring positive change. They only seek to destroy. Kneeling for the flag? The flag that represents the … Continue reading

Robert Carlile won the American Crappie Trail Ouachita River National … Continue reading
