I went up to the camp today to repair a water line that broke due to the freeze. The raft is still there. the top is brown and come of the stuff underneath is brown also. But unfortunately I saw some...

I had a phone conversation with a neighbor up there and he sent e a picture of the bayou iced over. Hopefully this killed a bunch of the salvinia. We got two more nights of very cold temperatures to...

Well last night it got down to 1 or 2 degrees. Tonight it will be back down around 17. I am real hopeful that last night did the trick. I would be willing to bet the lake is frozen in front of my...

For the last year we have been really plagued with Salvinia on Black Bayou at Hosston. It is so bad you cannot see water from my dock. It looks like I need to mow around my dock. I talked to the...

The ship you served on CV31 was decommissioned in 1971 and struck in 1998. She was then scrapped. The ship that was on fire LHD-6 was laid down in 1995, launched in 1997 and commissioned in 1998. Two...

Hope you got the lifetime one. It is a great bargain at $50.00.

Don,
We are back down to a fishing level now. It is still high but not too high. Right now I am planning on a trip next weekend.

Gene,
It is fine. All the camps around the lake are up a little bit. MY camp is probably 20 feet above the water line. My dock is under right now but that does not hurt anything. If it gets high...

Over five feet of water going over the spillway at Hosston. I sure hope it takes a lot of the salvinia with it.

With a permanent license deer tags are free. All you have to do is walk in , hand them your license and they will give you your deer tags.

For $50.00 you can get a permanent license. I got one as soon as I turned 60. So now I do not have to remember to renew it.

I just harvested a bunch awhile ago. I plan on taking them to the bayou this weekend.

Well I use amdro mostly. Takes a few days but it gets the hill. If I need a quick knockdown I use an ortho or Bayer dust. However for a deep kill you need a bait like Amdro.
Today I harvested a...

I do not think Black Bayou is closed. I was up there Friday and the water was at 17.3 but this evening it had fallen to 13.91.
It is dropping fast. I would not hesitate to put a boat in at this...

I have been told that a tablespoon of plain yellow mustard will also stop leg cramps.

I have used a product called Marine Goop with great success. I have an old jon boat with some loose rivets and an extra hole or tow. This stuff went on easy, hardened quickly and has worked for...

Recently I noticed I needed to replace the bunks on my trailer. I chose to do something different than most and am now glad I did. I had previously added plastic glides to my bunks to make it easier...

I am hoping this cold weather has put the hurt on some of the salvinia here in North La.

After looking at the weather forecast, I decided to make a quick trip up to the camp at Hosston to make sure everything was ready for the hard freeze predicted. Due to work and having the flu I had...

This thread reminds me of something my uncle told my about my dad back in the 1940s. He would use a coleman lantern placed down inside a metal 5 gallon pail. He told them it really kept him warm.

Well on Black Bayou you dont really have much of a choice because the whole lake is shallow. Right now it is even shallower due to lack of rainfall.

That's more than I have caught lately.

I hate to hear that. I am hoping this cold spell with temperatures below 20 will put a hurt on the salvinia here on Black Bayou.

Up here on Black Bayou a stick steer works best for me. Especially if I am fishing alone. My SeaArk allows me to get into tight places in the trees or try places in open water. To me I like not...

Welcome from Louisiana. Join me on Black Bayou sometime

I carry a J frame 38 loaded with CCI snake shot when at the camp and Speer Gold dots for two legged snakes at all other places.

I picked two gallons off of my trees last week and put them up as preserves. So I am all set for the winter. Now I go out and eat a few off of the trees every day. I enjoy my figs for sure.

Mine were nice and fat looking on a Friday evening. I got busy that weekend and did not get to check them again till Monday. They had stripped the tree and left . So I wil ahve to wait for the next...

Well I understand that they are good for several things. I know they are good for bream and they are also very good for catfish. I do not know about white perch but I will find out if I get to try...

It depends on how fast they grow. I would not be surprised if you had a few next year. However I would really look for them year after next. It would probably help to fertizie the trees some. If we...
