Sometime in late October, Mike Louviere can envision 1- to 2-pound Florida bass being released in Lake Dauterive-Fausse Pointe, thanks to people who care about the future of the bass population in one of the heavily fished bodies of water in the Teche Area.

The 36-year-old Loreauville outdoorsman, a commercial fisherman and avid bass angler, has been planning the past few months on the inaugural Fishing for Fausse Pointe fundraising bass tournament scheduled to be held Oct. 1. It’s his baby and he’s serious about his goal to stock as many 1- to 2-pound bass as possible with the money raised in this coming Sunday’s bass tournament out of Marsh Field Boat Landing at Lake Fausse Pointe.
