Fish go on Spring Break!

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ April 25, 2014 ⋅ Leave a comment

I think I’ve got the fishing figured out this week. Things have been much slower than earlier this spring for bass and crappie, but I know what happened. They are all gone on Spring Break! Fish gone wild is more like, well, just fish gone… Okay, it isn’t that bad, but on Lake D’Arbonne bass … Continue reading →

Assassins, Kings and Crappie

If Lake D’arbonne were located in Winn Parish, folks in Farmerville would likely have never heard of Brandon Jennings. He would have just stayed home to fish. Brandon is from Winn Parish and is the founder of the Bayou State Crappie Assassins. He and most of his members have an affinity for fishing on Lake … Continue reading →

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.

D’Arbonne shows off

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ April 8, 2014 ⋅ 1 Comment

Lake D’Arbonne and its crappie population showed off this past week through some of the roughest weather and rising water that we’ve had in a long time. The fish provided good catches in a variety of ways, from jigging deep to jigging shallow; to trolling; to casting mini-spinners. The result? Hours of great fishing footage … Continue reading →

Wind, rain and Krappie Kings!

Some folks had a tough time catching fish in the changing conditions here lately. Some didn’t. I even got accused by one loyal reader of “padding” the fishing report, saying they were biting when they really weren’t. People were catching some good fish last week. I got good reports from several reliable sources. I responded … Continue reading →

Wind-aided fishing report

I got up early Thursday morning (Yes, George, before 9 a.m.) to try and get in a last minute fishing trip before the approaching storms hit. You know, fish always bite better before an approaching storm. I didn’t have to turn on any lights to see if the wind had kicked up yet. I could … Continue reading →

Fish here, fish there

It’s the time of year when fishing is great one day and then not so great the next. They are here today, gone tomorrow. The weather, mostly high wind, skewed fishing results a bit this week. The fish had been biting, then cold mornings and the wind slowed them down. Yesterday things were a bit … Continue reading →

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 →

Fisheries head: “Celebrate crappie success”

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ March 18, 2014 ⋅ 1 Comment

It’s only natural. Hundreds of fishermen are catching hundreds of Lake D’Arbonne crappie day after day after day. The boats are so thick in some areas of the lake that it seems like you could “walk on water” from boat to boat. Then, you start to wonder, are folks catching too many? Is all this … Continue reading →
