Venice bass are back following Hurricane Isaac November 21, 2012 at 3:00 pm It is hard to think of catchy line to announce the news about Venice: Bass fishing is making a comeback. Several club tournaments and reporters are beginning to see an upswing on Venice bass. Hurricane Isaac did a number on the lower Mississippi Delta, but Mother Nature has a way of repopulating an area. Immediately after the storm, reports were dismal to total devastation. But never underestimate the power of the mighty Mississippi and the amount of sediment, food and fish she moves in a few short months. |

Redfish piled up in Sabine Lake 
November 15, 2012 at 7:00 am “That’s what’s so fun,” Capt. Robby Trahan said as he reeled in the chubby marsh red. “You can get so excited just watching them when you see that wake.” And that’s the gist of the outing we had when sight-fishing some prime eastern Sabine Lake marshes on Friday (Nov. 9). As we arrived through the cut into the first pond, redfish scattered everywhere. |

Traditional archery is a growing sport May 31, 2012 at 2:01 pm It wasn’t too many years ago that if you shot a bow — a compound bow — you were among a select group of hunters who loved the pursuit of that extra challenge. It seems now the trend is even going one step farther. More and more archers are taking up the sport of traditional archery. No release, no rest, no sights, just bare bow and instinct. The challenge and, consequently, the reward, doesn’t get any better than that. |
| Pre-season tactics for bow season August 16, 2011 at 4:18 pm It’s August, and bow season is only several weeks away for most of us. If you’re like me, it seems to take forever to get here, and the next thing you know, you barely have enough time to get ready. For me, pre-season scouting is important for a few reasons. Of course, the most obvious of which is to look for deer sign, but another is to reacquaint myself with my old stomping grounds. There’s nothing more depressing than sneaking stealthily to your favorite spot on opening day, only to find that you zigged when you should have zagged, and now you’re walking around in circles, getting hot and stinking up the place. |

| Time to get ready for bow season! August 16, 2011 at 2:48 pm If you ask any bow shop owner when the kickoff of pre-season bow prep is, I’d bet they’ll tell you it’s soon after the Fourth of July weekend. That’s when the light switch is turned on. So if you’re reading this now, and you haven’t started already, well, I guess you’re as late as I am. How do I know? Because I should have written this article a month ago. Guilty as charged. Nevertheless, there’s still plenty of time, but if you want to avoid a last-minute scare of unpreparedness, don’t wait any longer. Get your bow gear out and begin to tweak it for success. |

So where does archery fit into this picture? Well, do you want to kill a buck with your bow? No, seriously, do you reeeeaally want to kill a good buck with your bow?

| Treestand routine November 04, 2010 at 9:40 am Shooting technique, form, practice and practicing in the situation similar to your hunting setup can be great preparation for hunting success, but at the moment of truth the rubber meets the road. Can you handle the heat? |

| Practice for bow hunting October 15, 2010 at 4:22 pm We’ve all heard the old saying that practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. What does this mean for archery, and more importantly, archery hunting? Is practice simply getting the old bow out and making sure you’re sighted in prior to opening day? That can be a costly mistake. |

| Archery shooting techniques September 23, 2010 at 4:22 pm Many enjoy archery and bow hunting because of the increased challenge and heightened sense of accomplishment through taking game with a bow.
