Capt. Chuck Uzzle - For The Record For the majority of our area students school is almost over for the year and the much anticipated free days of summer are now upon us. This time of the year that is tailor made for taking a youngster fishing. During the school year everyone is confined to schedules that only allow free time on the weekends, which coincidentally is when everyone else is free. The crowds are much larger on the weekends and who knows if the fish have figured out what Saturday and Sunday mean. It is awfully...
Dickie Colburn - For The Record “This Swim Bait is tough to fish through this slimy moss,” barked Marvin Denmer as he hurried his slime covered lure back across the surface.“I know this goo is in patches, but if you don’t hit an open spot, ninety percent of your cast is wasted.” His analysis was on the money, but our better redfish and flounder were holding in the small pockets in the slime and, while it was a lot more work, we were catching some pretty solid fish. Needing only two more flounder to fill their limits, I...

Kaz's Korner Joe Kazmar - For The Record With the 2016 major League Baseball season nearly one-quarter finished, our Houston Astros appear to be completely kaput as they continue to lose late leads with some boneheaded plays. Last weekend’s four-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park was proof-positive that Houston is merely handing over victories to the opposition. If the two teams were involved in a war against each other, the Astros could possibly be guilty o...

The Kentucky Derby ran Saturday at Churchill Downs like it has for the past 142 years without an upset, baseball continued on the major league, collegiate and high school levels and the PGA Tour event had an exciting finish Sunday afternoon.

Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record Surrounded by lightning and miserably engulfed by a driving rain, Redfish Elite officials and the seven finalists patiently sought cover while hoping to out wait the storm and get Day 3 of the tournament under way.To avoid having to cross the open lake, the anglers had trailered around the lake to a more protected launch in the back of Johnson’s Bayou. If anything, the conditions the prior day had proven even more precarious as a full field of anglers found themselves struggling to s...
Kaz's Korner Joe Kazmar - ForThe Record The merry month of May has sloshed into Southeast Texas and Southwestern Louisiana with hopes that things will get better for our Houston Astros, Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Kentucky Derby fans wanting another Triple Crown winner. As far as the Astros are concerned, their month of April went almost exactly opposite as it did last year, with Houston finishing the month with a mere seven wins and a whopping 17 losses. The Astros...

Captain Dickie Colburn - For The Record The pro anglers fishing the first qualifying tournament of the year on the Elite Redfish Circuit are back on Sabine. The Pt. Arthur Convention Center will host this event, but the anglers will be plying the same waters they fished in the Classic hosted out of Orange only two weeks ago. The tournament kicks off Friday morning. Even with the benefit of having fished the area so recently, I don’t see the winner posting a heavier winning weight than Clark Jordan brought to the scales.I d...
Kaz's Korner Joe Kazmar - For The Record I remember when I was a little kid growing up in Upstate New York and my father would come home from work at exactly 3:50 p.m. every day like clockwork. Before he sat down to drink the fresh cup of coffee my mother had perked and poured for him, he’d ask me if I wanted to throw some when he finished his traditional cup of coffee. What he meant was that he was asking me if I wanted to pitch to his catcher’s mitt-- something I never rem...
