From Marsh and Bayou February 2025 Kayak fishing has gained popularity over the last decade. Some will, some won't, here's why.The number one reason people get into kayak fishing is the relatively low entry cost of the sport. In my case, I was road fishing on LA1 and could see feeding [...]
I'm constantly surprised to see people with nothing but popping corks on every rod. Then I see them at the fish cleaning table gawking at my catch. What did you catch them on is the first question, and I usually answer and sometimes even show them, only to see them loaded [...]
Any BCKFC event always starts with the prefish. Bad. Then everyone cleans up, hooks up and goes to dinner, well, at least 11 of us who were spending the night Friday. Then the officers met in the lobby of the luxurious Galliano Inn to sort and bag baits. At 7PM, as [...]
Lots of planning and discussions happen for months before Paddlepalooza. Al Chee was on it!Beside the being on the board thing, each participant must make accommodations, prep and load gear, and plan. Planning fishing trips in 20-30 mph winds is usually as easy as staying home, but not this weekend.My search [...]
Kayak fishing in January? Better be hardcore to fish with us!

Baits were still limited to those provided by [...]

Ran into horrible traffic caused by construction shift change and a wreck. Planned on launching at Joshua's but first light [...]

Got in bed Friday night around 8 to prepare for a long day of fishing. My son and his friends woke me up at 1030 whooping it up on the patio, lovely. Took me at least an hour to get back to sleep.SaturdayRolled out around 3 with full cup of coffee, [...]
Cruised down Thursday after work and yes, I stopped on side the road to cast a few times. I was utterly disturbed seeing a flounder and trout that a shore fisherman had left on the ground. Shameful! Rolled into Bridgeside right at dusk and was very pleased to see Eric Stacy, [...]
So this year Trout Challenge happened in spring, instead of fall, and returned to the east side of the Mississippi River. Tournament Nazi made Boundaries from Lake Ponchartrain to Delacroix, a huge area, certainly, but in all that real estate, only 5 launches were used to my knowledge, with 57 entries. [...]
