Ba$$ Winner$
Gas at $3.49 a gallon is bad. Bass at nearly $1,800 a pound is good. Just ask Richie Moore of West Monroe. He won the annual Ronald McDonald House Ouachita River Big Bass tournament Sunday afternoon. He caught his 5.60 pound bass in the first hour of the tournament Saturday, but had to wait until … Continue reading
The good life at Eagle Point

Hot fishing with Cold Front Jones

Fish go on Spring Break!
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
