Two of my November stories fell victim to some odd timing by Mother Nature. A feature about catching trout in the low and green Mississippi River at Venice has to contend with uncharacteristic high and muddy water. A feature about catching bass at D’Arbonne Lake may help anglers later this month, but the lake was actually closed for a while because of high water. Sometimes Murphy just have to have his way.

1. Freezer Burn – Sure November’s temperature can be chilly, but the action at these four Venice spots is smoking hot.
   
   
2. Lazy Anglers – This month on Lake D’Arbonne it pays to have a week work ethic.
   
   
3. Public Intoxication – Looking for ducks on WMAs? You won’t be disappointed if opening morning finds you on one of these.
