Boat & Outdoor Show this weekend
Early season boat and outdoor shows are supposed to be a cure for “cabin fever”, giving everybody a chance to get out and do something after a long winter. But events like the KNOE Boat and Outdoor Show this weekend just make cabin fever worse for me! It makes me want to get out and … Continue reading
Fit for a King
The last time I won a crown, I was six years old and was named “Prince” of the big Morehouse Parish Cotton Festival in Bastrop (A lot of my friends are now rolling in the floor laughing now, I might point out. Really laughing). Except for Dr. Carl Turpin. He still hasn’t forgiven me for … Continue reading
Duck, duck… going, going

Fishing, not catching so far
If Les Miles had been fishing for crappie (I know, I know…it’s still “white perch” to most folks around here, one of my good friends reminded me last week), I think he might have described the fishing the past couple of weeks in a fashion similar to this: “Just so ya know, these fishermen have … Continue reading

Welcome back, Mr. Sun! “The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call … Continue reading
Traffic stoppers
If you still need a waterfowl hunting “fix”, you can always go after geese this month. Louisiana has a special “Conservation Order” season for “light” geese in which many of the regulations are lifted. I’m not going to try to explain them to you but if you want to hunt them, read up on the … Continue reading
Cure for the Common Cold
Okay, this won’t make you stop sneezing or clear up your red eyes, but this cure for the common “cold” will help make you feel better when it’s yucky cold outside. You know, like recently? It’s cold. It’s wet. And the leaves need raking, the boat batteries need charging, the Christmas decorations need to … Continue reading

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will hold a public hearing on Caney Creek Reservoir issues, including an overview of aquatic vegetation issues and the results of recent fish population sampling. LDWF established a comprehensive management plan for Caney Creek Reservoir in 2006, which provides annual public hearings to update the public on ongoing … Continue reading
Hint: 14 pound bass
Which one of these is true: 1. It’s too cold and too early to catch lunker largemouth in north Louisiana 2. Big bass only hit jigs and big spinnerbaits early in the year. 3. Poverty Point is a great lake, but it has probably peaked out for lunker bass 4. David Houston caught a new … Continue reading
