The real Phil deal
The first time I ever met Phil Robertson to talk about writing an article about his new Duck Commander duck call some 40 years ago, the first words out of his mouth weren’t about duck hunting. “Haddox. Do you know Jesus?”, he asked. I did. He did, too. I’ve never forgotten. This video is a … Continue reading
“T-poles” subject of yo-yo rules
This spring, I received several emails and had at least a half dozen conversations with fishermen on the lake about the growing use of artificial “T-poles” for yo-yo’s out in the lake as it grows older and stumps continue to disappear below the water line. It seems that there are a couple of popular white … Continue reading
2013 crickets are here!
I got a good chuckle when I rode by a popular area fish bait store a couple of weeks ago and the sign out front said, “2013 crickets are here!” First of all, I have tried to figure out how you tell a 2013 cricket from a 2012 cricket and I can’t google up an … Continue reading
Yuck’s Day
I woke up to YUCK Wednesday morning, spent most of the day with yuck and if the weatherman is right, Yuck will be here Thursday for a while before saying goodbye. Yuck was a misty rain, a thermometer on the back porch reading 40 degrees, an 18-mph northeast wind, lime green mush everywhere from piles … Continue reading
Three eyed fish
I recently read about a unique catch: a three-eyed bass. To quickly put any rumors to rest, it was caught in a private pond in Missouri, not in Wham Brake. The fishermen didn’t even notice the third eye until they started taking pictures and discovered the third eye located on the bass’ gill plate. Biologists … Continue reading

Bobby Milner landed a 10.32 pound bass to win first place and $4,000 prize money in the annual Fishers of Men Easter Big Bass Tournament on Lake D’Arbonne Saturday. Milner, of Coudrant, weighed in his first between 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. Saturday to claim the top prize. Second … Continue reading
A record, by George!
April 1, 2013 — I knew we shouldn’t go fishing on Easter Sunday afternoon. But I rationalized that if it was okay for kids to hunt boiled eggs, it was okay for me to hunt a few bass. So my fishing buddy, George, and I went for a while. But I never, never never meant … Continue reading
He Has Risen
Mark 16:6 And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

Easter Weekend Fishing Forecast
As we fished around Lake D’Arbonne Thursday, I noticed two very distinct patterns. First, fishermen are found just about everywhere. Second, fish are being found just about nowhere. We fished right through the “major biting period” Thursday morning and the only bite I got was me nibbling on a bag of Cheese crackers. But that … Continue reading
