Louisiana Great Outdoors with Don Dubuc

On today's show, Don gets together with his field reporters on this post-Thanksgiving weekend to see if we are truly sitting in "the best fishing weekend of the year" as well as how you can stay safe when in your deer stands and duck blinds, a Bad Boys story that sounds similar to mythical tales cowboys and outlaws, and how if you've got bait, water, and a rod... you should be able to find Trout around Grand Isle. Later on, Don hears a wonderful song about Turkeys and their gobbling ways, maximizing your time across the waterways of Louisiana this...

This hour, Don opens up diving back into some Turkey talk with Dr. Anthony Zuppardo, who wrote and produced a song, "Gobble Gobble Gobble Goes the Turkey" which teaches kids a bit about Turkey's and their history in the US, Mike Gallo dives into making the most of the time on the water, Brendan Bayard sounds off on the differences between a top water and twitch bait, Mike Smith joins us for another update from the blinds as Duck season slows down, but will it pick back up? We also hear from Ryan Lambert, who got left in the dust...

Don rounds out the program with our very own Capt. Kirk Stansel from Hackberry Rod And Gun who is out at the duck blinds where things have sadly been lackluster this morning, Trout fishing has been great and Flounder is getting ready to re-open!

Ryan Lambert from Cajun Fishing Adventures drops in to sulk about being left behind as the Duck hunting has been so good in his neck of the woods, the top boss was left behind, so how good has the blasting been, if the casting afterwards has been just as strong as we are hearing, and how Ryan cooks his mirlitons for his Thanksgiving festivities.

Don calls up Mike Smith of laduckhunts.com, to dive into how his Thanksgiving weekend of duck hunting is going and we get some live action from the blinds.

Don is joined by Brendan Bayard, from the BCKFC, recap the a week of Thanksgiving fishing with Trout taking the largest portion of the bag sizes, the differences between top water baits and twitch baits, and everything we should know about Hobie Saltwater Series Championship next weekend.

Don gets together with Mike Gallo of AAofLA.com, to discuss the ever present goal of moving away from smaller fish to target bigger fish as the fishing has been incredibly plentiful this past week, the fishing steps that you should always be repeating to maximize your time on the water, and how you can get in touch with Mike to get a loved one a fishing trip as a gift!

Don sits down with Dr. Anthony Zuppardo to discuss a lovely song he made about 20 years about detailing the history of Turkey's in US and some nutritional info about them!

This hour, Don looks back at the busy week behind us as Thanksgiving has come and gone bringing good times with family, great food, and tons of hunting and fishing updates and reports throughout Louisiana from the likes of Robbie Campo in Shell Beach on staying safe in the deer stands and duck blinds, a Bad Boys story that takes us back to the days of cowboys and outlaws, and Daryl Carpenter tells us all about how if you've got bait in the water, you've got Trout... it is just that simple.

Don calls up Daryl Carpenter from Reel Screamers Guide Service, to discuss the fishing ahead of us during one of the biggest fishing weekends of the year with Trout and Redfish at the top of the list for many, and how you change over your baits this time of year.
