I have no idea why we as anglers are constantly trying to complicate things, always re-inventing the wheel and adding corners. In our never ending quest to catch more and bigger fish we often stray down the path which we think leads to discovery only to find that out that if we had just read the street signs we’d be in much better shape. Over the years it seems like we have become so detailed and specific that the average fisherman suffers from “paralysis by analysis”. Fishi...
LC-M beats Pirates The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin' Bears came away with a huge win to open District 10-4A Division 1 play this past Friday night as they held off Vidor, 16-12, at Pirates Stadium. Vidor took the lead when quarterback Daigan Venable hit receiver Landon Jones in stride for a 46-yard touchdown and a 6-0 lead after the failed extra point attempt. LC-M responded midway through the second quarter when the Bears made the most of a short field and only needed...
We have all heard the saying “time flies when you are having fun” but there aren’t many times you can actually watch it happen. The 16 day early teal season will come to a screeching halt on September 29th just about the time the biggest migration is forecast to enter our part of the flyway. By all accounts most hunters saw a healthy influx of new birds beginning this past Saturday and the numbers have continued to build in many areas. To our east, across the state line into...
One tradition with the West Orange – Stark Mustangs includes feeding the Varsity team on Thursdays. The Mustang parents pair up and make sure the team has a meal, along with desserts, Gatorade and water. Recently one Grandmother Tara Moore approached Casa Ole to see if they could sponsor a night. General Manager Ingrid Arevalo stated that this would be great because this would coincide with their "Feed the Team" Initiative. Landon Floyd's family and Faye Jones Prewitt (...
Week 4 Recap and Week 5 previews Orangefield beats Saints The Orangefield Bobcats seem to be rounding into form as the start of district approaches this week, as the Bobcats defeated the Lake Charles St. Louis Catholic Saints, 28-7, with a balanced offense and stout defense. The Bobcats scored two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns, while rolling up more than 430 yards of offense, while the defense limited the Saints to 140 total yards on the night. Running back Mas...
Consistent hunts and good numbers of birds have been the norm for many local waterfowlers enjoying the early teal season so far. Opening weekend of early teal season can best be described as a classic case of "have or have not". For many hunters it was one end of the spectrum or the other and no in between. Rarely will you see birds as concentrated as they are right now and that pattern doesn't look it will change any time soon. If you were one of the fortunate ones who were...
In what has become a highly anticipated yearly ritual, wingshooters from all over Texas will make there way to the fields and marshes as the 2024-2025 waterfowl hunting season officially gets underway Saturday. The teal season opener has become a real gathering of sorts, almost a social get together if you will. Hunters eagerly awaiting each new hunting season head to the fields for their first taste of what is in store and this one looks promising thanks to some recent...

The West Orange-Stark Mustangs took an early lead but could not hang on as the Bulldogs scored a touchdown as time expired and left West Orange with a 14-13 victory this past Friday at Dan R. Hooks Stadium. The Mustangs scored on their first possession of the first quarter when quarterback Marcus Turner Jr. found receiver Ja'mikael Davis open on the left side for a 16-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 lead. Both teams traded possessions, but it was Nederland threatened a short tim...
The sleek silhouette coasted over the tree line with that familiar darting flight pattern, the volley of shots only confirmed the obvious and the dove continued on its way toward the stock tank to get a much needed drink. This scene is played out thousands of times in the state of Texas as hunters take to the field suffering the effects of a long off season without much, if any, practice. Shooting these fast flying birds is enough of a challenge without any other...
It doesn’t make any difference if you’re a hunter or a fisherman because this time of the year has something for everyone and it’s all good. The brief cool down from near triple digit heat has both hunters and fishermen alike thinking of what’s in store for the coming weeks. The very first hint of hunting season starts with teal and dove season in September and if you look at the calendar it's here. Hunters of all shapes and sizes flock to the field to take advantage of the...
Bridge City High School hosted the Rick Miller invitational Cross Country meet Saturday at Claiborne West Park in Vidor. The weather was beautiful for running, but someone had parked a 40’ gooseneck trailer in the middle of the 5k track, forcing officials to adjust the 5k to a 3200M race instead. The boys didn’t seem to mind the shorter race. Here are the results: Girls: Varsity Two Mile Run: 1. Addison Richard, Sr., Hamshire-Fannett, 12:59.58; 2. Lilliana Sellers, Soph., Lumberton, 14:03.53; 3. Raylee Millard, Jr., Tar...
Locals only or Worldwide? “Pssst…..hey buddy? I got what you need, GPS coordinates, reef names, secret spots full of shell guaranteed to give you what you’re looking for. I got it all.” In a wide eyed frenzy the unsuspecting and overly enthusiastic angler who’s hungry for information does exactly what you would guess, he buys it all. Anything for an edge and everything for a big fish. The quest for these big fish drives many folks to extreme measures and often different...
As if Kamala Harris' record wasn't already bad enough considering her disaster at the southern border, being voted as "the most liberal Senator in congress" by Gov Track, her history of convicting hundreds on marijuana charges, being a supporter of defunding the police and raising bail money for protesters during the riots in Minnesota and promoting the "woke agenda" she now has added attacking the Second amendment to her resume'. During her past failed attempt at becoming...

Chance Hobbs took advantage of a late afternoon summer bite.

For only the third time since 1957 an explosive Bridge City Little League 10-year old All-Star baseball team has won the State Championship. The young players outscored opponents 106-10 through district play, sectionals and last week during the State Tournament in New Braunfels, Texas. The last time Bridge City brought home the State Championship was in 2016. "It was a great ending to a perfect season," said head coach Johnny Dishon. "This is a special group of young men. We...
The list of "honey do's" posted on the refrigerator is a dead give away, the longer the list the better the fishing is at the moment and vice versa. Every now and again it's a must to get off the water and get caught back up on things around my house that have been pushed back to the point of being ridiculous. You know the fishing is good when you are cutting your grass at night with the help of a q-beam mounted to your riding mower. Don't laugh, I know some of you will employ...
Say the words “sight fishing” and a few thoughts that immediately pop into your head are “tails” “clear water” and “shallow”. None of the previously mentioned words conjure up thoughts of the upper coast of Texas, sight fishing is a lower coast activity and can only be done down there. Well if you subscribe that line of thinking then you have either have a rude awakening coming or you are cringing at this article because you have already figured out how good this style of fish...
The winningest high school football program in all of Texas is West Orange-Stark. The history of the Mustangs' success is now available in a book "WOS FOOTBALL, A WAY OF LIFE" written by their long-time coach. Cornel Thompson had a up close sideline view of the West Orange-Stark Mustangs during most their first 45 years of winning football as first an assistant coach and then as their head coach before he retired in 2021. Thompson has completed a 424-page compilation...
