By Brock Miller Sight fishing redfish is one of the most popular forms of fishing, but it can also be the most difficult. In a boat, you have help maneuvering and spotting fish if someone is with you. However, in a kayak, you are on your own.

Other days kayaks can provide a bigger challenge. Wind and lack of sunlight can create adverse conditions when trying to ...

Do you remember the last time you fell in love? I imagine we have all felt it at one time or another, albeit with a person, song, pet, smell, taste – or a place. Still relatively new to South Louisiana, I fell in love. about a half dozen times visiting during festivals. Lafayette’s food, music, people, community, weather, style; it is all so captivating and boundless. Moving here I had no idea what I was really getting myself into. However, every adventure into the Wild that so aptly communicates what South Louisiana is inspires me to fall in love,  again ...

The Backbone Trail was just as challenging and lovely as any I have ever done, maybe even more so, for many reasons we will get into in a minute ...
