First redfish ever was a good one! Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record Two short weeks ago I was convinced that we had turned the corner as far as the “trout catching” was concerned on Sabine lake.A mini-drought of sorts that had parched local lawns had also yielded a much clearer lake with higher salinity levels. Catching trout was simply a matter of locating them and locating them was simply a matter of finding a mixed bag of terns and gulls riding herd on schools of sha...

She always had something good for snacking. When I saw my friend Joni Smith post this recipe...
