Recipes in Southeast Louisiana
I'm planning on building a smoke house sometime between now and next winter . I've been looking around at different designs on line and not really settled on how I'm going to do it yet .

So if anyone has some pics of theirs , or any tips they would like to share , like what works good or not , I would greatly appreciate it !!

  • Jigs
The day started out great with bright sunshine and calm winds . When I put the boat in the water , around noon , the sky clouded up and the wind started howling ! Not good ..

Not much clean water to be found either , everything is still pretty muddy .

I only caught 13 but was glad of that considering the poor fishing conditions . It's good to see fish made it through Isaac also .

  • Slim , Laitin , and Austin .
  • Box shot
Tough day on the water today .. We fished the tickfaw , blood river area . My buddy Kent (aka slim) and son Austin fished with me and my son Laitin , we started out around 10:30 and didn't quit until around 5 .

We covered a lot of territory and hit some old honey holes that didn't really produce as well as they usually do . We mainly used the same ole brown and orange crawfish colored jig ..... Read More

Freshwater Fishing in Southeast Louisiana
Just my opinion here , but this should be the best weekend so far this year for those of you that like to fish sacalait . The weather should be dang near perfect and the water temps should be climbing back up for the slabs to start moving up in the shallows to start their spawn .

I use dark colored jigs mainly in the spring because most of the water I fish is still a lil dingy . Blue/black ,.... Read More

  • My son and nephew holding up a few .
  • Couple more
  • Nephew with a big swamper
We went in Maurepas swamp and hit a few ridges and canal banks where there were briars and found a few rabbits . Looks like a lot made it through the storms pretty good . We did see a lot of coyote sign , guess they have to eat too .

We ended the day with 7 rabbits and a few catfish off the trot line . But it was a nice day and we had a great time .

Deer Hunting in Louisiana
For those of you that use the doe in heat doe pee .. Do y'all leave the dip sticks out over night , or do y'all pick them up after each hunt ? I've always picked them up but a buddy said to leave them out because it may make a buck hang around .

End of story, now move on
Guys, this horse has been beaten to death, and then beaten again. So I'm locking the thread.

Move on, and let's talk some hunting and fishing!

  •  Was the Camp at the mouth of tickfaw
  • Camp 1/4 mile from lake on tickfaw
  • Idk if this one got away from a trapper or the storm got him
Put in at the public launch on tickfaw this morning . Went down to the mouth of the river looking for a few trout or croakers . Didnt get a bite .. Tryed shrimp on bottom , sparkle beetles , and chrome rattle traps .

Decided to ride to south pass to the mouth of lake P but the stiff east wind turned us around . On the way back we stopped by jones point throwing rattle trap . We caught a few.... Read More

Hunting in Louisiana
I was wondering anyone's personal opinions on the survival rate of deer in Maurepas swamp and Joyce WMA . I'm sure it's wiped out the whole rabbit populations . Any high spot or log for these animals to cling to is probably full of fire ants and moccasins . There are deer that were living on the edge of the swamp and high land that makes it but I'm guessing that's a small percentage . I am.... Read More

Freshwater Fishing in Louisiana
Just heard from a reliable source that freshwater fish were starting to pool up in the shallows , gasping for air , down the Amite river . Apparently these fish are about to die .

My question ... Is it against the law to scoop these fish up with a dip net ? They will only die and rot away ...

Archery in Louisiana
I have an old lightening flight PSE . I bought it used about 15 years ago and it was in great shape then , and still seems to be in descent shape . The last time I changed the string was about 4 years ago . The string still seems to be in good shape and I keep it waxed pretty good . At what point does the bow become to old to shoot ? Do the arms just all of a sudden break when it gets old ? It.... Read More

General in Louisiana
My beagles have always been kept in a kennel . I like running a small pack because they're easier to get in and out of a boat , so I only have 4 dogs . Will it make a difference in how they run if they're kept in my back yard just running loose ? They've been in my back yard for a couple weeks now and from what I can tell they just lay around like they did in the kennel . I haven't ran them in a.... Read More

Does anyone hunt three rivers with a boat ? Just wondering if there is a launch or do you just launch by the camp ground or what ? Any information would be greatly appreciated .

Had my son and two nephews down from destrehan for the frog rodeo . We left early to get to our lil area and put out a few gar jugs until it got dark . Got there around 4 and it was on . A gar on almost every jug ! The biggest one around 50 lbs. As it got dark we wanted to start catching frogs but every time we turned around we saw one of our jugs swimming by .

Eventually we got all our.... Read More
