Pending World Record Wahoo - Small Fry Girls by Scott Avanzino (10/12/2006)
[Venice,LA] So much for swordfish,..forgot all about them..This is a fish we have had our sights on since this summer when I had another girl just miss beating the current 48 pound wahoo by 3 pounds..that and her mom touched the rod while she was harnessing up so we know the rules no help..Noelle is no stranger to offshore fishing having landed a small backfin tuna a month before her 3rd birthday as her first offshore fish.

Got Em Again by Gene Dugas (10/10/2006)
[Hopedale,LA] Finally turned that corner and got on the fish. Bernie, Charlie, Joe and Cory were my guest today. I headed toward the outside to work the edges of Black bay to try for the bigger trout today. After few hours with only 17 in the box I turned back toward the marsh it was 9:30 and I was a little worried I may not find good bite this late.

[Shreveport,LA] Most of the bass have come out of the grass and pad mix using a V&M Pork Shad(super fluke) in colors of watermelon/red and junebug fishing them over and through the hydrilla and pads on the creek and slough edges. Texas rigged watermelon candy/chartreuse tail High Tails(brushhog) pitched along the edges of the creeks is working well. A white Bow Bend Buzzbait fished over the pads has caught some real decent sized bass also.
