Sight Fishing from a Kayak

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. You are in charge of spotting the fish, getting in range, and making a cast all while not spooking them. Some days this is easy as kayaks give anglers the advantage of stealth. Other days kayaks can provide a bigger challenge. Wind and lack of sunlight can create adverse conditions when trying to ...

Garage Sale Gear Intake Instructions

Thanks for being a part of this year's Outdoor Gear Garage Sale.  See below for instructions on how to be a seller.  It's easy and fun! Guidelines: For this year, we are setting the minimum price you can charge at $5.  This means that if you have lower cost items you'd like to sell (like socks or fishing lures) you'll need to combine them in a ziploc bag in a combination that you would charge at least $5 for.  An example is if you have fishing lures you would charge $1 for, put 5 in a ziploc and that counts ...

Two O’clock Bayou – Falling in Love

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 ...

When in Doubt, Pause – An Adventure on the Backbone

Hiking is one of my passions, everything about it is engaging; from the burn of pushing through an elevation change, to the promise of a new perspective and view once you get there, to the art that nature creates, and yes – even the bug bites, which remind me of my trip. Leaving the mountains for what I thought was just flat land felt crazy. Then I discovered Kisatchie National Forest. 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 ...

Finding Topography in a Devastatingly Flat Landscape

Still being relatively new to the state of Louisiana, it’s landscape, and recreational opportunities I was pleased to finally get in a kayak and get on a body of water. It becomes immediately clear that topography does exist here in South Louisiana, you just have to get low — and slow — enough to see it. Lake Martin is a great introduction, and opportunity, for anyone living in Lafayette or the surrounding area to discover the calmness of gliding across water. The towering layers and depths that clusters of cypress trees create. The chorus of birds that envelope you as ...

Coronavirus Escapes – Fausse Point Edition

While stopping by Harold and Sarah Schoefflers house on our trip up Bayou Tortue, we hatched a plan for another paddle.  The plan was to head over to Lake Fausse Point, paddle the south shore of the lake and explore up Cotton Bayou looking for a few Iris's that we could plant in the front bed of Pack & Paddle. On Monday we got just the right weather and loaded up the canoe.  We were expecting partly cloudy skies with a southeast wind.  Perfect to put us on the lee shore keeping the chop at bay on this large, shallow ...

Escape the News: Bayou Tortue – Lake Charlo

Coronavirus has dominated our thoughts and lives over the last few weeks.  And rightly so.  This health crisis is affecting every part of our lives - including Pack & Paddle being closed as a non-essential business.  What's crazy is that Becky and I have been really busy finishing up offiice work, taking phone calls, answering social media, meeting some folks at the shop for a curbside pickup (thank you!!!).  We suddenly realized we had worked 6 straight days and needed a break. Tuesday morning we loaded our canoe on the truck (man I love a light boat!!!) and headed out ...
