Lake life
Just a friendly little fishing competition!
It’s time for the third annual Les Miles vs. Nick Saban fishing derby, sponsored by lakedarbonnelife.com Alabama vs. LSU. It’s intense, even in fishing. Fishing is supposed to be fun, but as Nick Saban throws a rod out into the lake, it’s obvious his contractual obligation to fish isn’t sitting well. “I don’t have time … Continue reading
Over ruled?
Two steps forward, one step back. “Two steps forward one step back” is an old catchphrase about a tale of a frog trying to climb out of a water well. For every two steps he climbs, he falls back one step, making progress slow at best. Today, some folks cynically say “One Step forward, two … Continue reading
Big buck leader
This in from the Union Chamber of Commerce Union Parish Big Buck Contest: “We have an early lead in the Big Buck Contest. Marcus Johns of Ouachita Parish bought a Big Buck ticket at the beginning of the contest and was hunting in Union Parish. He did not purchase the ticket because he thought he … Continue reading
Crappie Assassins visit D’Arbonne Saturday
Some say crappie are the new bass. In other words, while bass fishing was trending for decades, the number of new crappie fishermen and expenditures on crappie equipment is about to catch up with the bass boys. I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but by spending time on the lake, I’d have to agree. … Continue reading
A free hour?
What would you do if you got a free hour? Sleep through it? That’s what most Americans do Sunday morning when we set the time back on clocks (at 2 a.m.) as we go back to Standard Time, whatever that is. And it’s just like everything else that seems “free”. You have to pay it … Continue reading
Tech, ULM place high at FLW
The price of ribeye steaks is outrageous these days. But what about an ounce of largemouth bass at $1,000? Don’t ask Louisiana Tech’s Matthew Loetsche of Many and Caleb Boudreaux of Doyline about it. They came in two ounces out of first place in the FLW College Fishing Southern Conference Invitational tournament on Sam Rayburn … Continue reading
Happy Trails
Roy Rogers probably never had a kayak (although he did have a Jeep!). B ut if he did have a kayak, he’d have probably named it “Trigger”. Okay, so you don’t remember Roy Rogers? And you don’t know what this has to do with Union Parish? Well, it’s all tied in to “Happy Trails“. Union … Continue reading
Crappie.com fishing report
One thing that you can always count on from the crappie.com guys is a good fishing report. Following this weekend’s annual gathering on Lake D’Arbonne, I got the same encouraging report I’ve been getting from local fishermen. “There are an enormous number of little crappie being caught out in the deep water,” said DocWaldo. “I’ve … Continue reading
A limit of crappie fun
I have a feeling that if the crappie.com folks came to the lake and found it dry, they would still have a good time. In fact, no matter how many fish they catch, they always limit out on fun. That’s just who they are. But these guys are great fishermen and didn’t find Lake D’Arbonne … Continue reading
Peace beyond understanding
Taking part in the activity pictured above is a good way to gain understanding of what the Bible verse below means: ******** “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts … Continue reading
