Fisheries head: “Celebrate crappie success”
It’s only natural. Hundreds of fishermen are catching hundreds of Lake D’Arbonne crappie day after day after day.

Fishing or catching? Both
I knew something would slow down the unbelievable number of white perch being caught on Lake D’Arbonne and sure enough, it’s happened.

Boy, I wish fishing partners George and Little George were more like the baits that leading BASSMaster Classic finishers used last week – no LIP !!!! I get “lip” for everything from my casting ability to the size and number of fish I catch. The top producing baits of the world championship tournament this year … Continue reading
A 16 pound bass?
Is there a 16-pound bass in Lake D’Arbonne. Probably. Is this the best time of the year to catch her. Definitely. Will I catch her? No way. Big bass. Huge bass. The very thought sends anglers scrambling for their gear, even if it is a better day to sit in front of the fire and … Continue reading
