Lake life
Eat, sleep, water
Today, Lake D’Arbonne stands at 80.6 feet, about six tenths of a foot above pool stage. Projections are for it to stay above pool for the rest of the month. That’s pretty unusual for June. But it’s a good thing. A full lake not only looks better, but it’s good for the fishing, especially upstream … Continue reading
Yikes!
Want a very vivid illustration of why you don’t stand underneath a tree during a lightning storm? This video is from the US Parks Service of a tree beside a park in New York. It shows a pretty big tree being turned into matchsticks by a single bolt from the blue… ***** ANY QUESTIONS … Continue reading
Get away from it all
One reason we go fishing is to “get away from it all”. That’s a great way to do it. But it is just temporary. There’s another way to “get away from it all” in a more permanent, life-changing way than fishing. Following the Lord brings true joy, whether today we are on top of the … Continue reading
Special fishing weekend…
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries invites Louisianans of all ages to fish for free this coming weekend without a fishing license on any of the state’s public waters. While fishing isn’t exactly free — at least on this weekend you can do it without a license! Louisiana offers miles of shoreline and a … Continue reading
Iron Man bassin’
I remember the day when I fished in the “Majestic” Bass Classic on Lake D’Arbonne. Barely. It was long ago when my hair was darker colored and more abundant…and I moved a bit faster. I’m not even sure it was called that then, but I do remember paying my entry fee and trying to fish … Continue reading
Cricket crazies
I bought a box of crickets the other afternoon to go bream fishing, but when I got home the wind had picked up and so I left the cricket box in my garage. I also bought four new styrofoam corks and six new bream hooks. I just left them in the bottom of the cricket … Continue reading
Get Godly
Phil Robertson cuts through the politics and gets to the point… You can watch the video on this site and see all his remarks. 2 Timothy 3:1-9 “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient … Continue reading
Fishing “pressure”
Believe it or not, this kind of bad weather is sometimes good for fishing. When the weather warms up, fishing can get a bit tough. But when we have the threat of thunderstorms and even rain like we have and will have for a few days, one of the major components in fish biting turns … Continue reading
A really big splash
Congratulations to a couple of local fishermen who recently made a big SPLASH on Toledo Bend! Ray Albritton of West Monroe landed a fish of a lifetime to win the Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash on Toledo Bend. More than 3,000 fishermen took part in the tourney that offered a total of $500,000 in cash … Continue reading
Drinking and boat driving don’t mix
Drinking and driving don’t mix. In a car, boat or anything that moves. When they do mix, bad things happen. Louisiana only had one reported boating fatality over the Memorial Day weekend. I say “only one” because sometimes on holidays there are more. And with school out and the lakes filling up on the weekends … Continue reading
