Working on the water is a way of life
If you grow up “down the bayou”, working on the water is a way of life. And it’s not a far jump from working on fishing vessels to working on other vessels, like tugboats. My older boys grew up fishing for our table, not commercially, but they both still ended up working on oil industry…
Termite’s 2.4 Pound Trout
It seems the trout are still making their way up into the lake I like to fish the most, Lake Decade. Termite and I fished from one end of the lake to the other and picked up a few trout at every spot. Termite caught the most trout today and the BIGGEST trout. I was very…
Hunting and Fishing in Maurepas Swamp: The Sportsman’s Perspective
Idling slowly among the cypress knees in a shallow-draft boat, one can only imagine what the Maurepas Swamp would have looked like 100 years ago—before the Great Flood of 1927, before the leveeing of the Mississippi River, and before the virgin cypress were cut down and hauled out to be milled for house and boat…
How about a closer look at my front porch decor?
It’s draped in green right now, with a few other colors mixed in. The jasmine vines that creep up the posts are in full bloom and smell so deliciously sweet. As we take a closer look, we see that flowers and leaves have mixed and mingled and made wonderful friends while decorating my front porch…
Spring is busting out all over in Bayou Country
Seeing is believing, so they say. First, I saw with my own eyes, and now you get to see through the lens of my camera. I live in the most marvelous wonderland called coastal Louisiana. These images all come from the marsh near my home, taken yesterday between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. on private…
Fall Fish Tales
The past month has pretty much been a fishing dream! I’ve fished four times and have another trip planned this Tuesday with Dotter and MuzicMan, meaning I will have fished with almost all of my children and their significant others in a month’s time! I also made a couple solo trips, which I haven’t…
You got some great shots Wendy. Eagles are making a great comeback nation wide. We have seen so many in our travels. They are awesome birds we never tire of seeing.
They are really awesome birds. Thought of you day before yesterday, saw 3 osprey on the way back in from fishing.
I would’ve run off the road slamming my brakes seeing one of those magnificent birds!!!!! I know they winter here around Caddo and Lake O The Pines, but have never seen one except when we lived in Alaska…saw them all the time…..and was ALWAYS in awe of their powerful presence and breath taking beauty……You have inspired me to start watching for them locally. May have to run over to the lake today for a peek.

I still have family up that way, but I don’t get up there nearly as often as I’d like. Always enjoy your comments. That bird was GORGEOUS! Oh, did I mention I saw 3 osprey coming back from fishing Thursday?
