Red River bass red hot in August
If you’re tired of putting up with hundreds of boats that nearly wash your boat to shore while you’re fishing, then head to the Red River in August.[…]

Fishing in this hot, July weather is tough without shade. So I’ve picked one of the coolest lakes in the state — Turkey Creek, located just outside of Wisner in the east-central part of the state.[…]
In June, I prefer to fish Lake Claiborne in Homer because it has really good structure, like stumps and points, it holds numbers of bass, even though it doesn’t have a lot of big fish, and it’s fun to fish there.[…]
May is a good month to fish many lakes in Louisiana, but I prefer Toledo Bend because the topwater bite early in the morning there is phenomenal.[…]
I’m really excited because BASS announced that the next three Bassmaster Classics will be held on lakes close to my home that I know and love to fish.[…]
During the early part of March, the bass will be preparing to spawn, and later in the month, the bass will either be in the spawn or the post-spawn.[…]
My pick this month for catching monster February bass in Louisiana is Lake Chicot, a lake home to Chicot State Park, one of the prettiest state parks in Louisiana.[…]
In January, I’ll be fishing the marshes around the Bayou Black area, located between Houma and Morgan City, below Highway 90, where Kenyon Hill won the first BASS Top 100 tournament a few years ago.[…]
D’Arbonne Lake, near Farmerville, is really unique because it holds three different types of bass — the main-lake bass that relate to the drop-offs, ledges and creek channels and remain in deep water all year.[…]
I don’t know why so few anglers seem to love Northeast Louisiana’s Poverty Point. It’s loaded with trophy-sized Florida-strain bass, it’s managed for trophy bass and although crappie fishermen love it, many bass fishermen never have heard of it.[…]
Lake Providence, an old Mississippi River oxbow lake in extreme northeastern Louisiana, has plenty of good bass in it. In October, the shad really become active, and start moving up on the banks. The bass will chase and eat shad to fatten-up for winter.[…]
My No. 1 pick this month will be the Venice region because usually at this time of year, the Mississippi River’s down, the water has greened up and moving water will be at the edges of the passes.[…]
When the weather turns extremely hot, your best chances for catching bass will be on river systems. My pick for productive August fishing in Louisiana is the Red River and its five pools that run from Shreveport to Alexandria.[…]
My pick for July for catching plenty of good bass is the Atchafalaya Basin. I particularly like the area from Bayou Pigeon to the Shell Cut Trail.[…]
