East Texas Winter Fishing

A chilly but beautiful day to be on the water.  Bright blue sky's, brisk breeze, and fish needing little enticement to get the hook!  Bill picked Lake Palestine for today's adventure.  We trolled with deep diver lures due to the colder water temperature.  Bill was ready to head towards coffee and land, with his limit of fish, after only a couple of hours on the water.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is about more than food, so I'd like to take this opportunity to give my thanks to everyone that's gone fishing with me so far this year.  I've had a blast!  I'm also thankful for my wife, who gets up at 4:00 am to make my lunch and always makes sure I have enough water in my cooler.  I need to give thanks to the Game Wardens who make sure that the places I fish are safe for myself and the people in the boat with me.  I'm especially grateful for my job; being outdoors, teaching new fishing techniques, showing kids different kinds of fish and how to tell them apart.  So get back to your family, turkey, and pie......And be thankful!
