Annual Grand & Lofty tourney set
It’s time for all you bass fishermen out there to start getting ready for the annual Lake D’Arbonne Grand & Lofty bass tournament. Well, maybe that’s not they call it, but that’s what Majestic means!

Catfish head stew
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
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!
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

300,000 Florida bass!
There are some really good bass fishing holes on D’Arbonne. Some of them just got better. But it may take a while. And there are some new ones out there, too, if some of the 300,000 largemouth bass fingerlings decide to stay close to where they were released into the lake this spring. The last … Continue reading
Just one of those days
Some days are just not made for fishing. Monday was one of them. In fact, this whole holiday weekend was a challenge. Some folks caught some fish — white perch, bass and catfish. But it was hard work. Monday actually started off as a pretty nice day, but storms skirted across different areas of the … Continue reading
A moment, please
Today is a solemn day. It should not be sad, just solemn. It is Memorial Day. Memorial Day is an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, to honor men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day in the years following the Civil War, it … Continue reading
Prayers needed
Thursday night, a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agent was shot and seriously wounded while on routine patrol. I’d like to ask our readers to take a minute to pray for him, his family, co-workers and friends. And also, pray for the other agents and law enforcement personnel who put their lives on the … Continue reading
