Speckled trout on fly? To quote Si Robertson, it’s on like Donkey Kong! A game plan for putting a nice mess of fish in the box starts off with poppers around sunrise, switching to weighted flies like clouser minnows and charlies under a VOSI around mid-morning, then finishing the day with poppers near sunset.[…]
In stalking, a hunter’s height can actually work against him because visibility is sometimes better closer to the ground, especially when there are thick bushes in the targeted area.[…]
The Biologist, Christian Winslow, has some tips for prospective hunters:[…]
On the west side of the Mississippi River, Bourgeois has many options, with some good walkable islands with either shells or a hard sand bottom scattered from Barataria Bay to Timbalier Bay.[…]
The Ghost Minnow we used to catch trout on this trip was the same one Capt. James Wilson used to put together 30 straight limits of speckled trout.[…]
“On days with wind, say a brisk north wind blowing 15 to 20 mph, I’ll fly out here and land in the cove, and we’ll have Breton Island all to ourselves,” Bourgeois said. “Boats won’t make that run from any port in those winds and seas.[…]

Watch this episode of Sportsman TV to see us take a trip to Hack Attacks’s camp on the Mississippi River in search of a trophy whitetail buck.[…]
“This island is just a long, beautiful stretch of shells, about a mile long,” Bourgeois said. “Once you step off the island into the water, the depth drops off fast and steep, so we don’t even wade in the water here.[…]
The particular area that produced all these limits of speckled trout for Capt. James Wilson is a part of the Clovelly Oil Field. The canal that comes out in the middle of Little Lake is a part of it, but the other part, where we fished, is the south end by Brusle.[…]
Hunting out of a pirogue is a great way to see and slip up on more game if you have a creek running through your property or lease, but a pirogue can also serve as a great way to scout for places to hunt on the land.[…]
Join Blake Shelby (Marketing Director for PSE) as he discusses the arrow weight and how it plays an important roll in Bow Hunting.[…]
To say you’re hoping for a hurricane to blow through South Louisiana just to make the fishing better would be a tad bit insensitive.[…]
Men, it seems — more specifically fishermen — like to mess with Mother Nature. North America is blessed with hundreds of suitable species for fishermen to catch, yet the pursuit of superfish for anglers to chase has led fisheries biologists to cross breed many naturally occurring species.[…]
One of the things that make slipping up on game in a pirogue possible is silence.[…]
Often putting to use his resources as general manager of Honey Brake at the Louisiana Delta Plantation, Drew Keeth is a staunch supporter of the annual LDWF youth weekends.[…]
