I knew I’d like him
Even before I drove to meet Logan Mount to go bass fishing on the Cane River in Natchitoches a few days back, I knew I’d like him. That’s because the first time I “saw” him, it was on the stage of the BASSMaster Classic in New Orleans in 2011. Mount was one of the LSU … Continue reading
Crazy good advice
What should you do while the world goes crazy? Try 2nd Peter:
The new “buzz”
Normally, I’m a Meriam-Webster dictionary kind of guy. I go with traditional definitions. But there’s one word where I may tend to go more with the Urban dictionary than old school. It’s “buzz”, defined according to traditional definition as “making a humming sound, like insects”. The Urban, or modern definition? “Anything that creates excitement or … Continue reading
Fish eating tips
No, I’m not talking about how to EAT FISH. I’m talking about what to eat WHEN you are fishing. Over the years, I’ve developed quite a scientific approach to eating while fishing. You can take the easy approach and eat cheese crackers and drink bottled water on the lake, but that won’t help your chances … Continue reading
Cooter and the tip of the week!
It’s hard to imagine anyone who has fished Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville during the last 45 years not stopping by Anderson’s Sports Center to get a bucket of shiners or a box of crickets or worms from Cooter Anderson. I can’t even remember the first time I did it, but I think it was way … Continue reading

This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from Him who can have enjoyment?” My Mom didn’t have … Continue reading
Bream or bust
Conversation with my down-the-street neighbor, Randy Tucker… Hey Randy, want to go catch some two pound crappie? “Naw, I think I’ll pass” How about we go try to catch a 10 pound bass? “I don’t think so. Thanks for asking” Well Randy, let’s go eat a big ribeye steak and a lobster, how … Continue reading
What is that down there?
These days you can spend thousands of dollars on depth finders, today called “fishing electronics” and see just about anything on the bottom of the lake or anywhere inbetween the bottom of your boat and the bottom of the lake. It’s amazing. You can even get “side imaging” and look out beside your boat. No … Continue reading
It was Tyler Wheeler’s Day!
Tyler Wheeler moved around in the crowd, watching the fish come to the scales manned by tournament director Dale Taylor and chatting with all the folks around, just like everybody else Saturday at Ludwig’s Marine. It was amazing. He was just one of the guys. The fishing was tough. The big bass are still reeling … Continue reading
Pray for those that protect
Pray for those that protect you. How often? How often do you want them available to protect you, your family, your town, your country, your world? Pray especially for those in the military, trying to preserve freedom and human rights in this crazy world. So many have left their families, homes and country to do … Continue reading
