Crappie condos
If you own property around the lake and want to attract some spring crappie within casting distance of the bank when the water in Lake D’Arbonne comes back up, now’s the time to get out there and put up some crappie condos.

Not today
I figure just about any day is a good day to go fishing. But not today. Not around here. There is no doubt that one of the best times to catch fish is BEFORE an approaching storm or front. Not many will argue that. However, there is some doubt, but I have always found that … Continue reading
A crown of glory
“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.” — Proverbs 16:31 *********** Today I want to share one of my favorite outdoor poems with you that those of you out there who have earned your gray hair will understand. It’s entitled, “Fish with me as I grow older…” … … Continue reading
Fishing report
Fishing reports this time of year are just about as useful as football game predictions. But we’ve had several requests for information, so here’s the latest we could gather: D’Arbonne crappie — Fishermen are still having some success in the channel. The weather this week messed up the fishermen and the fish a bit. One … Continue reading
Coot parade

A new north Louisiana Christmas Tradition is most certainly born, and will be shared with the whole world. I think this falls … Continue reading
Lake work
I have a sneaking suspicion that if you want to do any work down on the lake while it is down, you better not wait too much longer. Today’s weather is a good indication of what we may be facing a lot of in the next month to six weeks and it won’t take a … Continue reading
Lucky ducky day
I was sitting out in the duck blind when I got the call on my cell phone. “You are going to be home by noon aren’t you,” my wife asked. “I’m sure I will. Why?”. “Well, I hired some guys to come clean the ducks,” she said. “I’ve been wanting to do it for a … Continue reading
A real good reason….
There are lots of good reasons for attending church. Here’s one: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another” — Hebrews 10:25 Here’s another: I scouted the area…I searched out the best location for my tree-stand . . … I trailed the herd . . . … Continue reading
