Two recent trips in search of more crappie fish fries confirmed what I suspected to be the case. In order to consistently catch white perch off of your brush piles, you still have to do your homework! Allen Hogan, a heck of a bass fisherman, has owned a camp on Toledo Bend since 1969 and recently decided hustling crappie was much easier than staying on top of quality bass.“Actually,” said Allen, “it was more a case of old age catching up than losing my fervor for hunting bass.” A former guide himself, he hired a couple of cra...

She didn’t even know for sure if she had been raped, since she had no...

Seriously, you know I use just a wee bit of alcohol in some of my cakes to make them more moist. No one likes dry cake. Much of the alcohol content cooks out of any food, but not 100 percent of the alcohol product. I just use it as a texture softener. Anyway, this cake recipe comes originally from a tried and faithful book I bought at Walgreen's some years ago, "Cathy Mitchell Presents Dump Cakes and More." I have somewhat modified it. The cake mix does save some time. Equipment needed: 12 or 10 cup Bundt cake pan, sprayed wi...
Many years ago I became acutely aware of the fact that the word “good” is relative and used bridge the broad divide between “bad” and “great”. “Good” is indeed encouraging, but it remains a word to be taken with a grain of salt………especially when it comes to fishing! In the case of Sabine Lake trout fishermen, even catching a few trout is considered to be “good”.Prior to Harvey’s arrival, however, the current catching would scarcely rate above the shadows of “bad”.The only complaint anglers ever had in Junes of the past w...
