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.[…]
There’s an old saying that goes something like this: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.[…]
This summer, like each summer for the last dozen or so years, we will get our annual report on the size of the Gulf of Mexico “dead zone.”[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I would like to get GPS coordinates for Central and Breton Island. If it makes a difference, we usually launch at Breton Sound Marina.[…]

Raise your hand if you’re in favor of coastal restoration. O.K., unless my LASIK-improved eyes deceive me, that includes all of us. We all support coastal resoration, right?[…]
This is the time of year when speckled trout fishing really heats up in the major bays and along the coast. In these high-salinity areas, specks prowl relentlessly, and greedily feed day and night all through the warm months.[…]
You’ve probably read it a thousand times. Read it once more here, and realize your rights to own firearms can hinge on the upcoming Supreme Court interpretation of this particular amendment:[…]
