Save the date for Watermelon fun!
It’s never too early to mark your calendar for this: The 54th Annual Louisiana Watermelon Festival will be held July 28-29 in Farmerville. There are loads of activities for everybody and it’s always one of the busiest – and most fun – weekends in Union Parish. The Louisiana Watermelon Festival, sponsored by Union General … Continue reading
Burley & Bright
When it comes to tackle boxes, most fishermen today are familiar with brands like Plano and Flambeau. But few have ever used a Burley & Bright. That’s a shame because I don’t think any Plano or Flambeau box will ever hold up as good or as long as my grandpa George Kinnison’s old vintage 1940’s … Continue reading
God Bless America
Today’s post is long, but covers two topics not surpassed in importance by any other. Happy Fourth of July. And God, Bless America. It’s the the Fourth of July. It’s a pretty day outside. The temperatures are rising, but won’t get above 80 degrees. Inside, it seems a bit hotter as people discuss political differences … Continue reading

That’s especially important this time of year because a lot of fishermen are carrying around licenses … Continue reading

A little cray cray
Well, the weather was one of the hot topics the past two weeks, not the fishing, while I took a little break from the blog. Heavy rains around the first tropical storm of the season and a followup storm that seemed to come out of nowhere raised the level fast and high. Lake D’Arbonne reached … Continue reading
Thanks, Dad
Editor’s Note: Happy Father’s Day Weekend. We will be back with you on Tuesday, June 27. We are taking a little time off to let the keyboard cool off, charge out batteries, put new line on the reels and clean the smushed crappie bites out of the boat carpet. Be safe…and stay tuned. ****************** I … Continue reading
Seriously? Fish Fight!
You don’t have to go far to see the world going crazy, but now fishing, too? I don’t know exactly what happened here, but I know I’ve never been lucky enough to have a fishing hole worth getting in a fight over with somebody for it. Especially on the 190,000 acre Toledo Bend lake. This … Continue reading
I don’t even know what to say…
If you know me, you know just how serious this must be: Reading the information below left me speechless. So I’ll just share it with you. Todd Masson issued this report on NOLA.com today. Items offered for sale by former Wildlife & Fisheries employee match those missing from inventory, auditor says Click the link … Continue reading
