$5 bass boat
You think Subway’s $5 footlongs are a good deal? How about a $30,000 bass boat for $5? Come this spring, some lucky ticket holder will have just that. I would encourage you to buy a ticket, but I already bought the winning one from Association of Louisiana Bass Clubs regional director Steve Cagle at the … Continue reading
Threat to my spring fishing!
There’s an ominous, real and present danger threatening my spring fishing. It could affect you, too. That’s why I’m letting you know about it so you can plan ahead. It started with a simple trip down the road and ended up with a face-to-face encounter with the enemy of spring fishing. They sounded harmless at … Continue reading
Tech, ULM get Bend bass
ZWOLLE, La. – The Lamar University team of Quinton Evans of Orange, Texas, and Colby Ogden of Kountze, Texas, won the FLW College Fishing Southern Conference tournament on Toledo Bend Saturday with five bass weighing 19 pounds, 6 ounces. Their win qualified them for the 2014 Southern Conference Invitational on Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Three area … Continue reading
Fishing season opens!
Fishing season officially opened this weekend! Or at least, that’s what it looked like (no, we don’t really have an “official” fishing season). After weeks of blustery weather, Saturday and Sunday provided spring-like weather for the fishermen and they responded just as you would expect. Every launching ramp and parking area on Lake D’Arbonne was … Continue reading
Patience, Spring, Eagles
It’s a rare occasion that I turn to the Famers’ Almanac. But I did today. My question: When is Spring going to get here? Apparently the Almanac and Punxsutawney Phil both agree with what we already know — we had a long winter, and it may not be over yet. But there is hope. Spring … Continue reading
College anglers hit the Bend
WEATHER ALERT: No, this is a good weather alert. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend and expect our lakes and launching ramps to be very busy. Be courteous and be careful out there! I hope the fish are ready to get as active as the fishermen! ******************* College Football’s over. Baseball had its season … Continue reading
Taking to the bow
I am amazed at the number of people the past decade that have taken up archery, both for hunting and just as a shooting sport. I’m also amazed at the number of young people who have taken to the bow and arrow. It’s a great sport and when compared with playing with a X-Box, it’s … Continue reading
Lake on ice
The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. That pretty much sums up what we’ve been facing the past several weeks. If the ice and snow from yesterday didn’t do anything else, at least it got a … Continue reading
Heroes complete rabbit mission!
Saturday’s Hunters for Heroes rabbit hunt in Morehouse Parish was a successful mission. Not only did 135 people show up to help cook for, guide and just plain support the 10 wounded veterans that took part in the hunt, enough rabbits even took part to provide meat for a rabbit stew! I’ll let Louisiana Hunters … Continue reading
More about the Crappie Assassins
The word “assassin” conjures up a tough image, but Brandon Jenning’s new area fishing group called “Bayou State Crappie Assassins” is pretty simple to explain. They are looking to have fun and have their sights set on a special kind of victim – crappie. Their weapons are high powered jig poles loaded with lead — … Continue reading
