May Day fishing report
Before we begin this week’s fishing report, think about this: For some reason, when we talk fishing, we almost always talk about the weather. Not only is it a determining factor in deciding IF we will go fishing, it is also a great, perhaps the No. 1, excuse for when we don’t catch fish. Sometimes … Continue reading
tSUnaMO
While 30-35 MPH wind gusts made waves on Lake D’Arbonne look like tsunami earlier this week, I was visited by several tSUnaMo. What’s a tsunamo? It’s like a tsunami, but it involves inhale/exhale action instead of giant rolling tidal wave action. Both can wipe out small villages or large food items in the blink of … Continue reading

Fish gone wild is more like, well, just fish gone… Okay, it isn’t that bad, but on Lake D’Arbonne bass … Continue reading

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
Will fish for bait . . .
The swirling current of the high and muddy Ouachita River turned the big bass boat around at an odd angle, then Trapper Munn gunned the engine and pushed the boat with he and his fishing partners through about 50 yards of flooded trees and thick bushes. A little banging around off this tree and that … Continue reading

D’Arbonne shows off
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
