Eula Mae would be proud

Expect some Peachy catches

If last weekend’s Majestic tournament was any indication, contestants in this weekend’s Louisiana Peach Festival Bass Tournament on Lake D’Arbonne can expect some peachy catches! The big fish have been biting and so that should give contestants a good shot at good catches. The best catch will earn a guaranteed $1,000 first prize. One place … Continue reading
