Knowing I was used to fishing for bass, specs, and reds, an old Cajun told me, "If you fish half as fast as you normally do, you are still fishing twice as fast as you should."

His degree will be PhDS - Doctor of Sacology

I had/have the same problem transitioning from bass/specs/reds. The best advice I got was, "If you fish half as fast as you normally do, you are still fishing twice as fast as you should."

My 2 sac-au-lait fishing buddies are both on disability and both Veterans. The youngster is a 77 year old Veteran of the Viet Nam war and our mentor is a 95 year old Veteran of The Battle of the...

Our politicians are like race horses - they have owners and handlers and respond to people hired to ride them and make sure they respond properly. As long as they produce, they are taken care of and...

Is the water over the dock at the launch?

When I got out of the Navy in 1972 I lived with my mother in law in Marksville for 3 months until I went back to LSU and fished there every day. I haven't been there in many many years but sure have...

Check with Mike at Greenwell Springs Marine. He frequently has rebuilt motors for sale - usually with a 6 month warranty.

I bass fished there today. The main canal is not gated nor does it have any signs. I don't know about the back half. Saw 3 boats sac au lait fishing there. None of us did any good today.

I tied a few streamers when I was in the Navy and doing a little fly fishing for bass and pike. As ugly as they were, I caught a few fish on them. What I discovered is that you get your money's worth...

In the Louisiana forum on Bass Boat Central someone posted a picture of a sign on a post in the middle of a canal that said, "Private Property, No Hunting, Fishing, Trespassing. He said it was in the...

I heard there is now a "Private Canal" sign in the main canal in the Orange Grove. Has anyone seen this?

A friend just went and they caught fish suspended 12' - 15' deep in 25' of water - over brush piles that are hard to find. He heard some were being caught at the bridge at the same depth. You can...

Bill was defeated in the House 58-38.

I also have mixed feelings but tend toward public access with proper limitations. Your concern was voiced by several people and at the close the author said he wanted to work with all parties to find...

The other thing I want to point out is that for the bill to have any chance of passing it is critical for the people outside the coastal parishes to get involved. The committee members from the...

I was at the meeting and there were passionate discussions on both sides. The testimony in favor of the landowners (against the bill) was compelling and almost all legally based. In my opinion it...

This bill, HB391, will be discussed by the Civil Law Committee on Tuesday, 4/10 at 9:30 in House Committee Room 4. Anyone who is concerned about access and can make it would help the effort. Without...

I appreciate the heads up but I will leave that to the professionals in the field. My experience defending a position amounts to using facts and logic trying to win emotional arguments at home. That...

Property owners do nothing to get the air to flow over their property. It has always been there. In the marsh and swamp, all the water was in the bayous and it was public. The landowners voluntarily...

There is another thing to consider with the canal issue. The map landowners use to designate public water also shows private water. There were no canals then. All the water and all the fish were...

If you have never been there, the early bite in Pirate's Cove has been in the back where the bayou feeds the cove - turn right when you come out of the landing pocket. There are some camps on the...

That will come after we get a responsible budget that addresses the greater good instead of special interests and doesn't contain any pork - shouldn't be too long.

Although a case could be made to charge deer and duck leases for exclusive access to public resources, the canal issue is somewhat different. The canals, water, and fish were not there when the...

South Toledo Bend State Park is also nice and there is a launch. There is still grass on the south end and around Easter slow trolling the outside grass line is pretty good. There is usually a lot of...

Made a bass fishing trip with my neighbor yesterday and we wound up in Crackerhead. I caught 2 nice sac au lait on a spinnerbait. We talked to 2 guys who said they had 12 really nice sacs. They were...

Speaking of cold weather, remember to trim your motor down to drain the water from the lower unit and pull the plug in the boat to let all water out.

They are still affected by tide, but its surrounded by private property on all sides.[/QUOTE]

If they were surrounded by actual property on all sides they wouldn't be affected by tides. None of...

One can make some interesting arguments about the early maps and the oil companies posting canals. The old maps not only show water claimed by the state but also water owned by the landowners. The...

With the idiotic laws passed by the legislature, how can anyone be sure they are in public waters unless it is a natural bayou?
