I had been looking forward to fishing with Jay Stone for quite some time. I’ve known he was a really good crappie fishermen and his success on Lake D’Arbonne with fellow Duck Commander celebrities John Godwin and Justin Martin is well documented. I got to spend some time fishing with Jay recently and while fishing … Continue reading →

Roy Rogers probably never had a kayak (although he did have a Jeep!). B ut if he did have a kayak, he’d have probably named it “Trigger”. Okay, so you don’t remember Roy Rogers? And you don’t know what this has to do with Union Parish? Well, it’s all tied in to “Happy Trails“. Union … Continue reading →

One thing that you can always count on from the crappie.com guys is a good fishing report. Following this weekend’s annual gathering on Lake D’Arbonne, I got the same encouraging report I’ve been getting from local fishermen. “There are an enormous number of little crappie being caught out in the deep water,” said DocWaldo. “I’ve … Continue reading →

A limit of crappie fun

I have a feeling that if the crappie.com folks came to the lake and found it dry, they would still have a good time. In fact, no matter how many fish they catch, they always limit out on fun. That’s just who they are. But these guys are great fishermen and didn’t find Lake D’Arbonne … Continue reading →

So God made a cormorant

Forgive me, Paul Harvey (originator of “So God Made a Farmer”….) It was the ninth day, and God looked down on the Paradise he had created and said, “I shouldn’t make everything so perfect. Man needs some challenges to go along with thorns and sour berries and poison ivy”. So God made a Cormorant. “There … Continue reading →

Where’s DocWaldo? D’Arbonne, of course!

If you saw DocWaldo fishing on Lake D’Arbonne, most of you would never know who he was. That’s because DocWaldo is from Bossier City and nobody knows him by that name except his crappie.com internet buddies. His real name is Mark. But DocWaldo is a big fan of Lake D’Arbonne and a key component in … Continue reading →

Bassin’ with George….or John Brown?

Posted by darbone1 ⋅ August 19, 2014 ⋅ Leave a comment

My fishing buddy George and I hit Lake D’Arbonne in search of summertime largemouth bass a couple of days ago. Anybody can catch fish on topwaters at daylight or on a worm right before dark, so we weren’t challenged by that. So we went at 2 p.m. in the middle of August in an East … Continue reading →
