The Lirettes were fishing with permission in canals on private property. But choupique are found virtually everywhere in Louisiana, ranging from swamp and freshwater marsh bayous and canals to the state’s natural lakes and reservoirs from Toledo Bend on down.[…]
It is often said that Cajuns eat anything. This picturesque pair may be poster boys for that adage. Their Cajun accents were so thick that they could have been cut with a knife and served on a cheese tray.[…]
A few seasons ago, I had a great opportunity during bow season. I was hunting in an area where I had seen several nice deer the previous season, so I set up a bow stand there. One evening, just as light was fading, a very nice (for the area) 8-point stepped out into the newly-planted food plot at 35 yards.[…]
The humble choupique evolved during the Triassic Period, over 150 million years ago. Then, dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Triceratops roamed the land. […]
Kenny Meliet is a member of the deer hunting club that I am in, and has taken a deer on the opening day of bow season two of the last three years. The one taken last year was a 9-point buck taken on Oct. 1 at 9:28 a.m.[…]
1) For fishing with a cork, a 6-foot 8-inch or 7-foot light action rod is best.[…]
Bulky saltwater corks provide a lot of wind resistance, both when running or trailering a boat. The constant beating from the banging cork can damage line guides on fishing rods. […]
Specks will be moving into the interior lakes and marsh edges. Find clear water, and flies have the advantage. On calm days, start with poppers along points and cuts for bigger trout.[…]
That two different professional anglers can fish a new 12-inch worm completely differently — with both catching solid numbers of quality bass — is a testament to the new Mag 12 Buzz Worm from Mister Twister. […]
The key to a good deer management program is good habitat — plain and simple. The research that has been done measuring the impacts of good deer habitat is crystal clear on the subject: Good habitat provides the nutrition needed for optimal body growth and antler development.[…]
In early July, the fly fishing community suffered a great loss. Pete Cooper Jr. passed away after a courageous bout with cancer. He was 72.[…]
I am in the market for a newer GPS unit, but I am not sure to get one where the controls are activated via a touch screen or one that requires a rocker button. Of course, cost is a concern, but I am not sure which way to go. Is there a difference in weather protection? […]
Normally channel cats live six to 10 years, although longer life spans have been reported, typically from the northern part of their range.[…]
I’m reasonably certain that my quest for a shotgun to devote entirely to waterfowl hunting has come to an end.[…]
Black Widow Deer Lures is the only scent company that strictly collects and bottles fresh deer urine from the southern whitetail deer. Southern deer eat different foliage, browse, fruits and nuts then their cousins the Northern whitetail deer, and this changes the smell and glandular secretions in the urine.[…]

Main lake targets will continue to produce for a few more weeks, but Wally “Mr. Crappie” Marshall says the sooner you head to inside waters the better.[…]
