Columns - November 2018

  • Big water locales perfect for kayaks
    Louisiana has several great freshwater fishing lakes that offer a variety of species like bass, bream and catfish. Also, don't forget the excellent crappie fishing (white perch in North Louisiana, sac-a-lait in the South).
  • Capt. Paul’s Fishing Edge for Lake Borgne
    As a longtime fisherman of the Lake Borgne area, I had a vast library of locations to fish - and more than 160 of these are included in the Lake Borgne Edge file.
  • Cooking with ‘cajun spice’
    Buddy Callahan looks like anything but a Cajun with curly blond hair, fair complexion, a stocky build and a grizzled Van Dyke beard.
  • Crackin’ Craw
    If you want to catch bass or redfish, you better get crackin'. Kaplan-based artificial lure manufacturer Zach Dubois, who specializes in soft plastics, has watched the fairly new Crackin' Craw - a crawfish imitation -; take the bass fishing world by storm. And to his pleasant surprise, it's also become a go-to bait for redfish along the coast.
  • Creature Feature: The little shad is a good shad
    In this month's Creature Feature column, Jerald Horst tells you everything you wanted to know — and more — about differences between gizzard and threadfin shad.

    A good 5-gallon bucket has multiple uses as hunting season cranks up this fall.

    Louisiana’s 2018-19 duck season begins on Nov. 10 in both the West and Coastal Zones. The first segment runs through Dec. 2, and reopens on Dec. 15 for the second split, which ends on Jan. 20. 
  • New Mississippi deer rules and regs in place
    It's finally November, and we all know what that means: For my fellow members of the deer hunting community, the last nine months have slowly and steadily built up to right now. Untold amounts of toil, sweat and treasure have been expended to get to deer season.
  • Seafood Bible: Cooking with ‘Cajun spice’
    Buddy Callahan looks like anything but a Cajun with curly blond hair, fair complexion, a stocky build and a grizzled Van Dyke beard.
