Lake life
Exactly !
A few weeks ago, I walked out on the back deck overlooking the lake with a friend.

Answers were — “looking at the water, the sunset, the boat dock, … Continue reading

Krappie King and the shallow bite
Saturday’s third television report about Lake D’Arbonne and the surrounding area on Krappie Kings TV was just as entertaining as the first, and it was fun to watch show host Karl Kalonka and his local fishing partner, Brandon Jennings, catching D’Arbonne’s big crappie shallow. The majority of fishermen on D’Arbonne seem to like the deep … Continue reading
