Never got around to posting these
I thought I posted these earlier this year. One is a 128" eight point; and the other is a 10pt. (an obvious cull). The last picture is on the way to the taxidermist in January.

Dodge diesel
I am considering buying a Dodge 2500 diesel with either the 5.9L or 6.7L engine. Wanted to hear any opinions from owners who had good or bad experiences with them. How durable is the engine and the transmission? I am still too concerned about Ford's diesels and can't find any GMC's that are priced right. Thanks in advance.

Handgun Hunting
How many handgun hunters do we have in Louisiana? I saw some reports last year that were tough on handgun hunters. I agree the gun used (9mm auto I believe) is not the best choice but archery hunting used to have the same stigma. I have attached the tools of my choice and some results. Handgun hunting gives me the same excitement as bowhunting. Besides pulling the pistol up on a rope is a consideralbly lighter than the rifle and bow I have. I will post pictures when this site is repaired.

450 Rhino APG

Yamaha Rhino 450
Guys... I'm in the market for a side by side unit and will be purchasing one shortly. It looks as though the Rhino 450 will suit my slow driving needs to and from the deer stand. My question is... Are the Yamaha 450 motors a headache to start in 20 or 30 degree weather? Salesman keep telling me they are harder to start in the cold vs. the 700 Rhino, but I'm not sure if they are just trying to make a more profitable sale or they are refering to the "cold" we will never see in the south. Any comments on the Yamaha Rhino 450 would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Agents stopped the charter boat, "The Captain Charlie", which was occupied by 18 paid fishermen, the captain and one deck hand. Agents boarded the vessel to conduct a creel and license check of the fish and persons aboard. Upon receiving consent from the captain of the vessel, agents allegedly found 27 ice chests holding 909 red snapper.

Inshore Fishing Rockefeller Refuge in Southwest Louisiana

Drinking in the Refuge?
While crabbing and fishing by boat can you have beer in your boat. I know the driver can't/shouldn't be drinking but what about the other people in the boat. I don't want to start the debate of if it is safe or not. On my last trip someone crabbing next to us told us that we could get a ticket for having too much beer in out boat while in the Refuge.

Sailing for Hopedale Redfish!
Thursday Skip Marks and his son Phillip and daughter Alex was not going to let the windy forecast stop them from fishing, Skip has fished with me for 9 yrs now and we always catch and have a great time. Well WINDY was not the word today GUSTY was more like it. We stared out with 18-2 mph winds that quickly went to 25-30 no exaggeration. Redfish the most protected water I could find was the only option today. First pond things started off great with 3 nice reds in the box pretty quick. But the rest of the day was to be battle with the wind and redfish. The reds were scattered and far in between. But we hammered the shorelines and flats with gold spoons and LSU spinners and put together a goo ..... Read More

Hopedale Report
Back again Wednesday! Different crew and weather along with the outcome. Headed straight to where I left them yesterday but the wind was up and the bite was slow. No problem for these guys’s are regulars and experienced fisherman. Charlie, Sam, and “RED FISH GENE”. We worked the same areas plus some picking up some nice trout but not the numbers until the wind’s drove us into the marsh. Where Gene could put his redfish skill’s to work, he loves to hear that drag running. We worked some protected lakes and put some reds in the box. The weather was pleasant and we all enjoyed the day fishing. 26 Trout 5 Reds CAPT GENE DUGAS RATHER BE FISHING ADVENTURES 985-640-0569 www.ratherbe-fish ..... Read More

Big Boar Down!
Snooks and I headed up to the lease Monday to try and get some work done on our foodplots. We left town at 3pm and drove onto the lease at 5:30pm! We wanted to try and sneak in a hog hunt while there. We geared up and headed to our stands hoping the hogs weren't already there. I was barely settled in my stand when I hear BOOOOOM!!!!! I received a text message from Snooks saying "Big Sow Down!" He said they were already at his feeder when he got there. I settled in hoping I would soon have some action myself. Wasn't long and I heard a branch snap! Then I heard footsteps in some water. Then it was quiet. I waited patiently. ::) Then out of nowhere. There stands a Big Hog in the brush to ..... Read More

Hopedale Report
Finally got a little reprieve from the wind Tuesday morning. Mike, Gary, Scotty, and Steve took full advantage of the conditions. With the winds down I was able to get out in the outer bays and work the Rigs, Reefs and points for the speckled trout. We jumped right on them but it took awhile for the bite to develop and before long fish were flying in the boat. But the winds picked up around 10:00 forcing us to the marsh where we found some nice trout on the upside current of the points. Great day with a box full of trout with some good guy’s and regular customers. They will be back again soon. 76 Speckled Trout 1 Bull Red CAPT GENE DUGAS RATHER BE FISHING ADVENTURES 985-640-0569 ..... Read More

Saxon's boat captianed by Capt. Jay's trout and reds Proud out-of-staters.  They'll be back!

Saxon Maine's trip day 1
Didn't let the winds discourage me today as Saxon Maine came in with a 7 man crew to sample La's great fishery. Had Tommy and Danny on my boat and we completely slaudered the reds at my first stop, catching well over 50 reds total with, I think, 9 perfect RedFish Tour reds at 26.78" and weighing from 8.1#s to 8.88#s. Threw them all back and tried to keep just the 20"ers for dinner tonight. Called in Capt. Darryl and he promptly finished off his boat's limit at the "spot". Capt. Jay, not being the patient one, took Saxon and guest on a trout hunt and caught 30 with 7 reds.(picture of only Jay's boat) All fish caught on the East Side out of Lloyd's Buras Boat Launch on plastic and dead st .....

Inshore Fishing Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana

Tides moving...fish biting... Right?
I'm heading to Lake Barre area in the morning and was wondering if the fish are only biting early, or just when you find them. I'm planning on leaving from Gonzales around 330 to get to the landing in Lapeyrouse on 55 for sunrise. Also, I see that the rising tide is from around 3 to around 10 or so. With that long of a tide will it still be good towards the end. Otherwise, is the fishing better on the rising/falling tide in that area? Or as long as it's moving? With the SW winds I know alot of water will be pushed up, possibly making the rising tide stronger. This is my first time going to this area...Any extra advice would be greatly appreciated!
