Inshore Fishing in Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana
A beautiful morning in the marsh ! Plenty droves of bluewing teal this AM and all the reds we wanted. Didn't leave the camp until 7:45 andback for 10:45 with 15 nice reds. White spinnerbaits and LSU chubs worked best in the duckponds. Greg Givens joined Deadeye Chris and I with a good time enjoyed by all. Great weather for the Labor Day weekend. Good luck fishing.

  • Ben got things going right away with this red.
  • Derek was doing his part to fill the box.
  • The big drum put up a good fight and were released for next time.
What a great day to be on the water Sunday was. Scott Foret and his boys Taylor and Ben wanted to get in on some of the great fishing action Dularge is having right now. My son Derek came along to help out. Our first plan was to look for trout then if time permitted chase a few reds. Checked the buoys at 4:00am and went to plan B, redfish! Felt like Drew Brees calling an audible as our new game.... Read More

Enjoyed a great 4 day weekend at the camp with family & friends. We fished the previous 3 days and today was no exception. The reds were eating up in the ponds this AM as I was joined by my son Chris and his friend Richard. We left the camp at 7:30 and back for 10:45. Catching in excess of 20 pond redfish was a blast with LSU chubs and white spinner baits doing the damage. We released every.... Read More

My dove hunting plans on Saturday did not materialize so there was nothing to do but go fishing. Not a bad move as we caught 100 trout and left them biting. Mostly 12-14in. fish but I'll take it for trout in Sept. Bayou chubs in various colors including all 3 of the brand new colors along with the LSU worked very well. Dead eye Chris Lake, Alex Gravois & Jessie Luquette whacked the trout .... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Vermilion Bay in South Central Louisiana
Planned a trip to Vermilion bay on Saturday. Weather man called for wind but no rain till the afternoon. 3 miles from the ramp I shredded 1 of my rear tires, limped to the ramp. Water was very high with the water flooding into the parking lot at the ramp. I should learn my lesson when they call for 13-15 mph winds. I decided to fish Marsh Island and had a very wet trip across the bay with.... Read More

Bass Fishing in Chicot Lake in South Central Louisiana
Photo Album
  • Chicot State Park lake record bass: 13.63 pounds
March 1997
  • Glass Replica of Chicot State Park lake record: 13.63 pounds
  • Top fish: 10lb bass caught out of Black Lake.
Bottom fish: 9 1/4 lb bass: Crooked Creek Record.
I caught this 14 pound bass in Chicot Lake in March 1997. Once we drove to Ville Platte and back to Chicot for the official weighing and recording for the bass, it was recorded as 13.63 pounds and was indeed the lake record. I was also nicely surprised with a $1,000 check in Chicot State Park’s Big Bass Contest for the 1996-97 season. I released the bass and the park issued a glass replica. I.... Read More

  • These are the tires that I'm wanting to run on my new bike.
I hunt in the Atchafalaya spillway and we have a lot of bottom land. The guy that has the lease says that he only wants factory tires on our bikes because mud grips tear up the land. Last year with factory tires, we couldn't get to the back of the lease due to all the water and mud, so I think you need more than factory tires. I don't think the mud tires tears up the land as bad or more than.... Read More

I have an La Traveler that has set up for 2 yrs with a full tank of gas. What is the best way to dispose of it? In the past, I have mixed fresh gas with some old and gone with it. Thoughts on mixing in some Stabil water remover, pumping out half that gas and refilling with fresh ETHANOL FREE gas???

On friday I had the pleasure of taking Capt Will Wall and his best buddies fishing Cocodrie style. First up was the mangroves and they didn't disapoint us at all. We stacked 35 in the box pretty quick and decided to go deep to catch some jacks and any odd ball fish we could find. We were supposed to go deep dropping but it seems Capt Hunter slept in with all of the deep drop equipment. No.... Read More

We managed about 10 bass fishing any cuts with moving water with a bandit crankbait and spinnerbaits. There was not much tide movement in the marsh. So we headed out to Lake Mechant and hit the flounder honey.... Read More
