Bass-fishing reports from Venice have been pretty crazy, and Prairieville angler David Cavell said it’s better than you’ve heard.
“When (the water) turns green, it’s how many do you want to catch,” Cavell said.[…]
Steeped in a mixture of legend and historical fact — with some folklore thrown in — the Mermentau River in Acadia Parish just might be a pearl amongst many fishing gems in Southwest Louisiana.[…]
Rat-L-Traps are absolute fish catchers. There’s just something about the lipless crankbaits that bass and redfish love — or hate, whatever. They just crunch them.[…]
When it comes to fishing lures, the tool is only as effective as its delivery system. That’s why DeFoe takes great care in selecting the right tackle for his balsa crankbaits.[…]

Accomplished Helena, Ark. bass angler Derward Mauldin has heard that question many times before in his boat when he’s fishing with a Delta Lures buzzbait during tournament action in Arkansas, Mississippi or Louisiana.
