I took vacation Thanksgiving week to catch up on some chores and, of course, make a few duck hunts! I went out with my son Monday (Nov. 23), and the very high tide from the Saturday storm put water over the transom of my boat.[…]
Baton Rouge’s Patrick Kelleher is a father, husband, bowhunter and (for those who know him) the luckiest guy in the world.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I’m hoping to buy a houseboat in Lafitte, close to Joe’s Landing, across from Cochiara’s Marina, and moving it to Lake Maurpas close to the Amite River.[…]
The words “I didn’t think that anything so ugly could ever win an award” really caught my attention.[…]
Kudos to the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.[…]
I like fishing in December with football games on TV, waterfowl and deer seasons taking place and most of Louisiana’s lakes clear of fishermen.[…]
Think of this brand-new jig as a bass fisherman’s dream version of an all-terrain vehicle. It’s an artificial lure that acts alive and apparently looks delicious to bass, fished shallow or deep, around rocks or wood and anything else they tend to hang out on.[…]
Well, I think we lucked out in the coastal marshes this year. Comparing the marsh to last years’ dead zone, I would say we’re way ahead. Last week, as Hurricane Ida nosed its way into the Gulf, I was still celebrating the great hunt that I had been on with Paul and Mike Woods during the youth weekend.[…]
Well, after a very good last couple of weeks of October, the deer movement has gone to close to non-existent. My hunting buddies from all over Louisiana and Mississippi and I were having great hunts from Oct.15 through around the first week of November, and all of a sudden it turned off like a light switch.[…]
I am the youngest of four children, and my dad was not a spring chicken when I was born. As a result, most of our quality time at home didn’t involve a ball and glove, it was more like a rake and a wrench.[…]
Guy LeBreton (a.k.a. Guy L) is a 38-year-old diehard duck hunter from Lafayette. He is a Mighty Lion from Lafayette High Class of 1990 and graduate of ULL in 1994.[…]
Born and raised in St. Bernard Parish, Mike Herrmann Jr. earned a bachelor of science degree in biology from Southeastern Louisiana University after graduating from Chalmette High School.[…]
Largemouth bass are the most popular freshwater recreational fish in America, in spite of the changing face of the fishery. Gone are the days of a bass fisherman being pictured as a grandfather in a rowboat with a grandson or contemplative pipe-puffing angler patiently casting a clunky wooden topwater plug with his old knuckle-buster.[…]
When speckled trout are biting, really in a feeding frenzy, they will bite on anything.[…]
Capt. Paul:
I recently purchased a Garmin 545s. Is there a way to mark spots, tracks and bodies of water on my computer then transfer them to the unit?[…]
The AR-style rifle has come into its own. First designed by Eugene Stoner in .308 caliber when he worked for the Armalite corporation, the aluminum receiver guns were the stuff of science-fiction films, far ahead of their time.[…]
