Healing the land
I don’t know if you noticed or not, but I don’t make regular fishing or hunting stories the priority in Sunday posts. I take a moment to share some personal thoughts and observations tied to a Bible verse. We just entered into the New Year a few weeks ago. New Year brings new hope and … Continue reading

Dynamite, sweet tea and a fishing report
I think I’m ready for fishing season. I didn’t get any new USEFUL fish baits for Christmas, but I did get a Si Robertson bobble-head, complete with a gallon jug of sweet tea and signature plastic Tupperware cup. I also got two Redneck Fishing Lures. They are 10-inch long red sticks of fake dynamite! They … Continue reading
Lake ORKS
I’m a Lord of the Rings fan (and the Hobbit, even though movie lasts longer than waiting for George to set the hook when he feels a bass bite). The series is classic Good vs. Evil and I guess that’s why I am such a fan. I pull for Good. But every time I watch … Continue reading
It’s new! Eagle Point Boat and RV Storage

Starting here around Lake D’Arbonne, one thing he notices is a lot of expensive boats and RV’s sitting out in the elements in driveways and yards. In his travels, he has also seen a new trend in boat and RV storage … Continue reading
College boys hit tournament circuit
If they would have had a college bass fishing tournament circuit when I was 20 years old, I would probably have a picture of some big bass hanging on the wall instead of a college diploma today. That’s because I probably never would have graduated. I would have been fishing all the time. Seems like … Continue reading
A difficult fishing skill to master
One of the greatest skills in fishing doesn’t have to do with lures or techniques, boat control or finding fish. It has to do with overcoming a basic human flaw that has been developed to a higher degree in this day and time than any other before us. That is lack of patience. If you … Continue reading
Many big fish sure to be “caught”
There aren’t many fishing reports that you can know are absolutely true. But I gotta tell you, I know where more fish will be caught Friday January 25 through Sunday January 27th than any other place in north Louisiana. They’ll be caught…released..re-caught…and they’ll gain weight every time you hear about them. Where? The secret’s out: … Continue reading
In the beginning…
In the spring of 1957, when I was five years old, Alvin Green of Bernice was busy attending public meetings, convincing his neighbors to sell flowage rights on their family land and making countless trips to Baton Rouge asking for money for this area. He could have been fishing in his favorite spots along Bayou … Continue reading
