Hot fishing with Cold Front Jones
I’ve been fortunate to go bream fishing a couple of different times recently with Dr. Ray Jones, an old friend who I haven’t seen for many years until recently. I got to witness again first hand his prowess with an Uncle Buck’s bream pole at Cheniere Lake and got to see the stark reality of … 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?

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

I turn this space over to Brent Wade, director of the tournament trail, for the rest of the story….

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
A blessed Easter to you
