Can’t duck success
It just keeps getting better. Because the Robertsons are a part of our area and the Duck Commander name has been known around here for 30 years, I think it is especially interesting to keep up with the Beardy Bunch. In case you missed it, they were actually up on Lake D’Arbonne at Ramp Road … Continue reading
The good life at Eagle Point
I’ve been blessed with many memorable days in my life. One of them centers on a little one-acre piece of hillside on the edge of Lake D’Arbonne in a development called Eagle Point. It started to take shape as I was fishing out on the lake and seeing the preliminary work being done on the … Continue reading
Life on the Edge
If you love the woods and water in Louisiana, it would be worth your time to check this out: Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) will broadcast the complete “Alive! In America’s Delta” series beginning this Wednesday, April 30 at 7 p.m. with the premiere of the “Life on the Edge” episode. The six-part series presents a behind the … Continue reading
Welcome, Wood Marine of Ruston
We welcome a great new sponsor to lakedarbonnelife.com, Wood Marine of Ruston. Owned and managed by the husband-wife team of Jody and Jodi Wood, they opened the business in 2011 and their motto pretty much sums up their philosophy: “Helping you get on the water and stay on the water”.

On Friday, April 11, Hunters for Heroes will host eight disabled veterans from Fort Polk WTU at Wild Wings Lodge in Downsville. On Saturday, they will be treated to … Continue reading
Help clean up behind the dumpies
Since this is a family oriented web site, I can’t put into words what I really think about the poor, unfortunate, dump (oops, I meant dumb) “people” who litter. It’s kind of like they missed the lesson on growing up. I’ll just leave it at that. Fortunately, there are good people who try and clean … Continue reading
We interrupt fishing season
We interrupt fishing season to bring you this important report: The internet has opened up a whole new world that I could have never imagined. It puts people in contact with each other who would have never met otherwise. This is also true with fishermen! I’ve written about Ed Moes, the founder of crappie.com, a … Continue reading
Yes, it’s them again!
Lake D’Arbonne is under attack from above by my favorite waterway nuisance. Again. Extreme cold weather sent lake Orks further south weeks ago, but they are back. Don’t get me wrong, I like birds. But these aren’t birds. They are bad actors, apparently secretly gathering for a remake of an old Alfred Hitchcock movie. Hello, … Continue reading
Lake on ice
The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. That pretty much sums up what we’ve been facing the past several weeks. If the ice and snow from yesterday didn’t do anything else, at least it got a … Continue reading
Heroes complete rabbit mission!
Saturday’s Hunters for Heroes rabbit hunt in Morehouse Parish was a successful mission. 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
