Fishing season opens!
Fishing season officially opened this weekend! Or at least, that’s what it looked like (no, we don’t really have an “official” fishing season). After weeks of blustery weather, Saturday and Sunday provided spring-like weather for the fishermen and they responded just as you would expect. Every launching ramp and parking area on Lake D’Arbonne was … Continue reading
Patience, Spring, Eagles
It’s a rare occasion that I turn to the Famers’ Almanac. But I did today. My question: When is Spring going to get here? Apparently the Almanac and Punxsutawney Phil both agree with what we already know — we had a long winter, and it may not be over yet. But there is hope. Spring … Continue reading
College anglers hit the Bend
WEATHER ALERT: No, this is a good weather alert. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend and expect our lakes and launching ramps to be very busy. Be courteous and be careful out there!

Not only did 135 people show up to help cook for, guide and just plain support the 10 wounded veterans that took part in the hunt, enough rabbits even took part to provide meat for a rabbit stew! I’ll let Louisiana Hunters … Continue reading
Two many minis?

Fishing report ( kind of )
There was something strange on the lake Saturday: Boats. Then Sunday, they pretty much disappeared again. And it wasn’t because everybody went home to watch the Super Bowl. True, the white perch have been biting for the brave at heart who follow them every day. But fishing pressure on most area lakes has been extremely … Continue reading
Crappie.com, part 2
Part 2 of a 2 part series Nobody has been more surprised about the astounding growth of Crappie.com, which today bills itself as “America’s Crappie Community”, than founder and owner Ed Moes. After spending quite a few hours on the home page and the various forums. I understand why it has grown so. It’s a … Continue reading
