Fishing
Fishing is like a box of chocolates. . .
Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’ll get“. Well, fishing on Lake D’Arbonne these days is kind of like that. You never know what you’ll get, like catching a glimpse of two famous TV stars trolling down the channel in their camouflaged bass boat trying to catch … Continue reading

No lip
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

Shaking my head
“If people don’t occasionally walk away shaking their heads, you’re doing something wrong.” I believe it was outdoor writer Patrick McManus who, speaking of fishermen. said that. I’m in agreement. So as I idled down the channel at Lake D’Arbonne Saturday afternoon, I realized that somebody was doing something right. A lot of somebody’s. Hundreds … Continue reading
Big ones “hit” up Corney
The white perch aren’t the only thing “hitting” in the water up Corney Creek. What do you do when a couple of 50 pounders going 60 miles an hour splash into the water near where you are fishing? Just keep on fishing. That’s what about 20 boaters sitting out in the channel near the Bernice … Continue reading
This week’s fishing report
Fishing reports here lately are about like the weather. Pretty good one day. Pretty not the next. This past weekend was a great fishing weekend. There were probably more people on the water Friday through Sunday on D’Arbonne than I’ve seen in quite a well. Then Wednesday, following the cold front and another dip into … Continue reading
Fishing for Hope
I’ve never met Alabama pro bass fisherman Randy Howell. But thanks to a $300,000 sack full of largemouth bass, I know about him now. And it’s all good. Howell won the BASS Masters Classic this past weekend on Lake Guntersville in his home state of Alabama. Other than he caught three sacks full of monster … Continue reading
