Heading to red river pool 4 this weekend. Any tips on where to locate some bass and type of bait to throw would be real nice to know. It's only my second time there. Fell in love with it the first time. Thanks for any help.
It's that time again, and I will be introducing my new lab, Dru to the Gold Point Plantation's annual Dove Hunt in Dixie, La. this weekend. Got a call from Col. Adger and he tells me the power lines are almost bowed to the ground and the planted sunflower/wheat/milo has been bushhogged and burnt. He estimates that there are between 6 and 10 thousand birds in the one main field alone!

if caught on wma's most tickets are 370 for minor infraction's--go to the DA for that wma and ask for the 70 dollar fine which gives you a yr. to be a good boy without other tickets for that yr. then it goes back to normal situation--

Capt. Paul,
I have enjoyed your articles in the LA Sportsman for a number of years and now find myself in a position that I need your advice.
I have been using a Garmin 192C (fixed mount) for a number of years and it has stopped working. From what I can tell, GPS's are generally not worth repairing so I am in the market for a new unit. I am not overly technically inclined so I need a unit.... Read More

REPLACEMENT FOR A GARMIN GPSMAP 192
.
~ Captain Paul's response to: ~ Charlie Marable ~
THANKS FOR BEING ONE OF THE LOUISIANA SPORTSMAN LOYAL READERS.
Sorry to hear about your Garmin 192C no longer working. When first introduced, it was an impressive unit. However, when you get into your selection process, you will be amazed at the advancements that newer GPS units now have.
As you stated the 192C can accept supplemental map program downloads. As you stated, the Garmin MapSource U.S. TOPO is generally the first choice for those who venture into the coastal Louisiana marshes AND who need mapping images for inland lakes and rivers, etc. The U.S. TOPO (2008) and the newer TOPO U.S. 100K and their more detailed TOPO U.S. 24K mapping software.
The TOPO U.S.24K is sold by regions, but the other 100k version includes topo type maps for the entire U.S.
As a replacement, I suggest that you consider another user friendly Garmin unit as it will save you hours of relearning the instruction nomenclature.
Either the GPSMAP 431 or 521 series of units should supply you with a reasonably priced GPS unit with most of the “Whistles and Bells” that most users want.
Unfortunately, these units cannot accept your older US TOPO mapping software, so you will have to include the price of one of the newer mapping programs to get the most out of whatever unit you finally decide to purchase.
The GPSMAP 431 comes ready to go with preloaded U.S. Inland Lake map data. This option when used with a supplemental mapping program such as the BlueChart® g2 or the BlueChart® g2 Vision® will give you the inland and coastal coverage that you need.
Other units come preloaded with a variety of different mapping programs that may also suit your needs.
Check these suggestions out on the Garmin web site at www.garmin.com and or call the Garmin Support Section a 1-800-800-1020 and narrow down your selection considering price and features THEN visit a stocking Garmin dealer to get a “hands on” feeling about your selection.
There are other Garmin fixed mounted units that will also suit you needs, but these will generally fall into a more expensive option bracket.
By the way, I prefer to have the Garmin DVD version of the mapping programs when ever possible and not a download as a means of obtaining the software.
Narrow down your choice(s) and get back with me and I will be happy to discuss your options.

Went after them this weekend. Got on alot of hogs but only manage to get 2 boers. The hogs were busting before the catch dog could get to them, brush is getting very thick. It was also hard for the dogs to bay tight due to the thick briars and also hunting at night. But like I said we manage to get 2 and only got a photo of one due to us not having a camera with us on the first bay. But we had a.... Read More

I am trying to find a fishing map of Black Lake located near Campti, LA. Do you have one available or do you know where I might get one?
Also, do you know of a good online site for fishing reports of northern Louisiana lakes and rivers--Black Lake, Red River, etc.

Well, I stuck to it, and it finally paid off! After two weeks of nothing but hens, I finally heard the wonderful sound of a gobble this morning at day break. Actually, I had two birds hammering at me from opposite directions. It was probably pretty funny looking, watching me spin from one side of the tree to the other, not knowing which way to face, and for what bird. Finally after only a few.... Read More
