Elshout and Price: Dynamic Bass Duo
When you are my age, you learn to appreciate experience. That’s just one reason I know that Martin Elshout and Mark Price of Ruston are good fishermen. Combined, they’ve got 100+ years of bass fishing experience. If that isn’t enough, all you have to do is read bass tournament reports from around the area to … Continue reading
Help clean up behind the dumpies
Since this is a family oriented web site, I can’t put into words what I really think about the poor, unfortunate, dump (oops, I meant dumb) “people” who litter. It’s kind of like they missed the lesson on growing up. I’ll just leave it at that. Fortunately, there are good people who try and clean … Continue reading
Fish here, fish there
It’s the time of year when fishing is great one day and then not so great the next. They are here today, gone tomorrow. The weather, mostly high wind, skewed fishing results a bit this week. The fish had been biting, then cold mornings and the wind slowed them down. Yesterday things were a bit … Continue reading
We interrupt fishing season
We interrupt fishing season to bring you this important report: The internet has opened up a whole new world that I could have never imagined.

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. No, the fish didn’t jump over the spillway or hide out under boat docks. Mother Nature cut them some slack Wednesday with 35 mph North winds which whipped up enough waves that even … Continue reading
Hook, Line & Sinker
The first time I met Bob Mitcham, he had so much fishing equipment it took a 25-foot step-in cargo van to haul it all around. I mean, he was into fishing Hook, Line & Sinker. Of course, in those days some 30 years ago, it was his business. He ran a route in that old … Continue reading
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
