Park it: Fish. Eat. Sleep.
I love the t-shirts that say, “Fish. Eat. Sleep.“. I have always wanted to be able to do that, and have some friends who think that is all I do. But I can only dream about it. But if you want to give that a shot, there is no better place to try than at … Continue reading
140 limits
The Red River produced 140 five-bass limits for anglers in the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS) Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open Thursday in Shreveport. After some rough weather earlier in the week, it was a picture perfect day for fishing the Red. The Red River’s dropping water level created problems for several of the … Continue reading
BASS = SHOW
When the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS) comes to town, you can always expect a show. That won’t change this weekend in Shreveport on the Red River as the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open is held today through Saturday. The winning pro angler will take home the champion’s trophy, $10,000 and a Triton boat … Continue reading
Maxi Mini Cats
What’s a maxi mini cat? Well, maybe this will help. I went down to the boat dock just after daybreak a few days ago and was straightening up a few things. It was pretty calm, so I picked up a MINI cast and put a worm on it and tossed it out close to one … Continue reading
Celebrating Earth Day!

It’s more than fishing…
But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? … Continue reading
Pet Duck
Some days, it just doesn’t pay to read the newspaper. It can be, as one of my old friends says, “confusitory” (that is a state of wonder mixed in with confusion and a small hint of doubt of whether you should have gotten out of bed this morning or not). But back to the paper. … Continue reading
This week’s fishing report
There’s a reason they call it fishing, not catching. Some folks are fishing. Some folks are catching. And what seems like sure fire “catching” one day, doesn’t turn out that way the next. That, plus the fact that “the bite” is 3-4 weeks later this year than normal, just about summarizes the area fishing report. … Continue reading
