A friend wants to take his family fishing on Lake D'Arbonne with a guide service and isn't sure where to start. I told him I'd post on this board to see if there are any recommendations.

This would be a trip for 4 (husband, wife, 2 younger kids), and he would be interested in crappie and bream more than anything else. Do y'all have any recommendations that he could look into? And if so, what do you think the cost might be? Thanks, and I'll pass along any info.

They need to talk to a good friend of mine Wesley Miller of Big Sasquatch Outdoors.

He has a facebook page. He's been featured in Louisiana Sportsman magazine multiple times.

I’ve spent a lot of time at Darbonne. Actually, I own a lot on the lake.

I think this guy is a neighbor. Would love to hear about his guiding. If it’s the same guy, he was shite faced drunk every day by noon.

Wesley Miller is a great recommendation. Also search Lake Darbonne Guide service on FB. Forget his first name but last name is Young and he has lived on the lake all his life and is as good as they get IMO.

@Wesley Miller
@Nick Young
@William Whetstone

These are 3 men who guide on the lake. If they don’t have openings ask them for recommendations.

I fish Darbonne regularly, let me know if I can help you.

Xcoach. How can I contact you? I've a 6 yo son that loves crappie fishing. Im not that familiar with Darbonne, the few timesive gone we havent had much luck getting him on them. Id like to pick your brain on areas ive tried. I may be going to these spots at the wrong times of year. I recently moved to Ouachita parish, so I'm not familiar fishing lakes around here.
