We’ve gotten some good reports of success from bass fishermen this past week, despite not-so-good water conditions on area lakes. Several big fish and good stringers have been caught out of D’Arbonne and a couple of tournaments this past weekend on other lakes show they’ve been hitting there, too. Kel’s Cove on Lake Claiborne was … Continue reading →

I don’t play golf. I used to. I could hit the ball a long way. I just never knew which direction it would go. I don’t follow golf and I don’t watch golf. I know more about the Crappie Masters than the Augusta Masters. But it is hard to not be aware of defending Masters’ … Continue reading →
