Christmas Ideas for the Fisherman in Your Life

For those of you who have the avid outdoorsman (or woman) in your lives, and are trying to find the perfect gift for Christmas..... You can give them a fishing trip!  One that they can plan to their schedule and on their favorite lake!  What better gift to give than something outdoors AND something you know they won't exchange!

The weather is great and so is the fishing

We are having unseasonally warm weather here in East Texas and the lakes are low but the fishing is great. The fish are holding in big groups and making for some good fishing. Easy to find and  in large numbers to be caught. I know a lot of people are hunting this time of year, so the lake is not busy and allows for the good fishing spots to be open.  There's going to be a bass fishing tournament this weekend at Lake Palestine, but other than that, the lake has been really quite.  Take advantage of this wonderful weather, and let's go fishing.

Lake Palestine, 10/31/10 and still warm

This time of year is not usually my busiest due to the weather, but this year, in East Texas, it's still warm.  Not too warm and with a breeze.  The high was 81 with occasional winds about 10 mph.  Lake Palestine is a little low due to lack of rain, but still accessible.  Most of the fish caught were schooling.  We got some nice sized bass.   I know a lot of people think that fishing is over this time of year, but it's still going strong here.  So check the forecast and go fishing!
