As most know it gets brutal in Texas in summer. We have been lucky this year so far with temps still not at 100 constantly, but what's the difference really when its 95 or 100 its still a beating. I had work to do on some stands and fence so I gathered some help and got a little work out of them with promises of some fishing in a nice cool river. In the hottest part of summer I worry more about staying cool than catching tons of keeper fish so any fishing I can do in the water and swim too is …

Jambo’s BBQ and an old story
Its the 4th of July Holliday weekend, its hot, and I just don't wanna be outside longer than I have to so I was looking through some things and found an article I wrote for a traditional bowhunter magazine a couple years ago but never sent it in, partly because I'm lazy but mostly because I realized I'm not writer. I just scribble things down and try not to bore too many people. So I decided to post this article and a BBQ place I found with a man size sandwich. Remembering My First I would …
Ask Me What I like About Texas
I'm like Gary P. Nunn and like everything between the Sabine and the Rio Grande too so when the in laws come down from Detroit I'm gonna show them everything I can there is to love about my state.

I called Johhny Stevens over at Eagle Mountain Lake and told him I wanted to take my brother in law and sister in law fishing and he said its been slow but we will …
Eagle Mountain Lake
I had high hopes for our trip this week to Eagle Mountain Lake but the wind had other plans. Wind is the weather I hate more than any, I can take cold and even rain but hate wind. A little wind is nice it makes the channel cat hang out on the points and usually easy to catch but this amount of wind is not fun. You need to be in the wind where the fish are but you want to be back in a cove where the fish aren't so you have a decision to make. Me, Alex, Catman Brandon, and Mary Ann were looking …
3 cafes 2 fish and a carnival
The plan was to catch limits of fish, win every prize at the carnival, and eat good food along the way, well I tried. I started by stopping in Weatherford for breakfast with my sister and brother in law at Main St Cafe. I was impressed, it was a cool little place and the wait staff was great. I had a charizo omelette with ranchero sauce, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy, and of course black coffee and sweet tea. Next stop Graham for fishing, flea markets, and carnival. Cason couldn't …
