Danna: Geared to go
(Second of a two-part series) You can catch crappie with a 12-foot cane pole and shiners some of the time. But if you want to catch a lot of fish a lot of the time, it certainly helps to be geared to go. Combine the right equipment with the natural knack for finding fish like … Continue reading
Danna kidnapped by crappie
(First of a two-part series) More than 40 years ago, a man came to the back door at the Monroe News-Star/Morning World newspaper office and asked for me. He had something he thought I might want a picture of. He did have. I quickly loaded up a 24 shot roll of black and white film … Continue reading
Better listen…
John 3:16 16″For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Cold enough for you?
Think it’s bad here today? Wait until Saturday or Sunday morning. Not even a shiner wants to go fishing in that weather. When the temperature starts with a “2” I don’t even look out the window! Then Monday, it will be 66 again. The weather sinus doctors can only dream of. But things could be … Continue reading
Keeping “Pace” with D’Arbonne Crappie

$200 crappie hole!
Now, I have to admit. I’ve seen a couple of places on D’Arbonne that get fished 8-10 times a day during the peak of the spring fishing season. And there are some “community” tops out in the lake that get fished pretty regularly. But there was one big top on a southern lake that apparently … Continue reading
Teach the children
Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Four fingers
If hunters were football players, you’d see them walking around this week and the next holding four fingers up in the air. In football, that signals it’s the Fourth Quarter. The game is just about over. It’s now or never. In hunting, it’s the fourth quarter. Area 2’s long deer season comes to a close … Continue reading
Beach Ducks
The last place I would have ever figured to spot a waterfowl museum would have been on Virginia Beach. Well, I was wrong. On a recent visit, we spotted the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum from the beach. It was a quaint little place, full of old decoys, guns, shotgun shells and numerous other neat items. … Continue reading
