    Default Louisianas Lake D'arbonne with Mel

Size:  64.0 KBGot out on Lake D'arbonne today with my buddy, Mel. We got on the water at the Hwy 33 launch about 7am. It wasn't long before Mel got a crappie on a shiner minnow and shortly after that I caught a bar fish on a jig and plastic. We started having trouble with the sonar units and found that the battery was dead. We still had the trolling motor batteries so we stayed close to the launch, which is where most of the boats were. We pulled out about 1 pm with 6 keepers, the biggest 13 1/2". Nice warm day, 70's and sunny with little wind. We cooked them up for dinner tonight and they were delicious.

    The reward for getting that roof done! Going out again today?

    I still chuckle at what your sister “thought “ Mel asked her.

    When are you heading home?

    Melvin makes that 13 1/2' fish look small. He's a big, wide dude. Not going today, they're having a ATV Christmas parade today in Bawcomville and Mel is driving a Razor with his granddaughter. Gonna help my son rip out some carpet and maybe install a shower door, then help one of his buddies move a freezer and some couches to his new house. Another beautiful day here, warm and sunny with light winds. Watch the main page, this is going on it 12/2.
