  • my 2 favorite girls
I just would ask every loving dog owner to please say a few prayers for my family, as I had to put down my 13 y/o black lab tonight. She has been having trouble breathing when she would get excited, as the kids and I got home from school I could here her barking in the house,as she almost always did. The vet said she probably expelled to much air and could never recover, her tongue turned blue,.... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana
I find it hard to believe that CCA is going to have their Trout Shoot out and not let any of the fish count for the STAR. Hey Sam B. open it up this Memorial Day weekend, and offer refunds to anyone on the east. I hate to tell my boy, thats a nice trout, but we cannot weigh it in for the STAR, he's been looking forward to the opening weekend since he got his youth packet. Just my one cent,.... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana
Just looking for a few opinions, I have a 1998 champion of which I bought new and have always carried boat insurance. It runs right at $36 a month. The boat is in good condition for its age, the motor of course has corrosion in some areas, the trailer will soon have to be replaced. I love the boat and have no plans to get rid of it any time soon. Should I keep paying the $36 or just take my.... Read More

I heard a 'rumor' that CCA is considering canceling the STAR this year. Has anyone heard this and what are your opinions. I personally think the star should start as usual, moving the start date to july probably will have no benefit, this spill is going to take years to clean up. If u can fish , then fish, if u can't then request a refund from CCA. just my 2 cents

  • my best so far
This one weighed 8.41 my best so far, I had a 8.2 a couple of years back. We weighed in with 5 fish weighing 18.81. She was caught on a watermelon red fluke, the bass are on the banks and doing their thing. I think it will stay good for at least 2-3 more weeks. She was caught in 6 mile, very good grass and plenty of it, good fishing,TH

What do use to cover up the seeds. I have been using a 4 foot 4x4 with some chainlink fence tied to it. It works ok but just wanted some ideas that may work better. I can weld something up if need be, so throw out some ideas and/or personal experiences. Thanks........

Deer Hunting in Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana
As I posted earlier I am going back to pennsylvania this oct. to get the meat haul started early. I shoot a cva optima .45. I use the shock wave 200 gr. now, but, I am not very confident as it performs poorly. I shoot the .444 now as it is legal in La. but, If anyone has any suggestions or comments as to bullet weight and accuracy please let me know. thanks, the speck/deer slayer....

Does anyone use these, bought them last year and have yet to draw blood. We are going back to pennsylvania this year for the muzzleloader doe harvest, and if there is time I will try and fill my buck tag w/ the bow. My broad heads are the 100 gr. 4 blade 1-1/16th I believe. I hope this is enough to take down a pennsylvania buck. Legal buck is 4 pts. on one side. Hoping for a nice 8 or better. .... Read More

I do not want to ask too.... Read More

He is from pennsylvania and as some of yall may remember, I went up there 2 years ago for the muzzleloader season and had a great trip,.... Read More
