Dickie Colburn - For The Record It is rare indeed when most Plan B’s save a trip for me in the face of 20 mile per hour winds or for that matter, simply when the fish suddenly abandon a pattern that has been very good for several days. I have always scouted enough water to have a few viable back-up plans and up until this past Monday, believed that I had exploited most every possibility. It didn’t take the wind long to crank up Monday morning and the lake was white capping before local anglers had even netted their shad and...
Astros Looking Ahead to Biggest Game in 10 Years Today Joe Kazmar - For The Record While the sellout crowd was trying to decide whether to dance in the aisles of Minute Maid Park Monday afternoon or to just do the celebrating in front of their seats, they were unaware of the reception the Kansas City Royals’ hitters were planning for the Houston Astros’ bullpen the final two innings of the game and perhaps the season for Kansas City. After being limited to just two runs (which came on an early two-run homer) and a couple of...

Keeping a smile on your favorite hunting buddy's face is important so having a gun that fits is crucial. Chuck Uzzle - For The Record Texas hunters do everything big and that includes purchasing their firearms. Now the bigger is better theory has some merit but not when it comes to smaller hunters such as women or children.

Dickie Colburn - For The Record “Go figure,” said Jamie Diggs as he finished the last of his coffee while staring at the black water in the bayou lapping against the top of the dock.“We have had a solid week of north winds strong enough to keep us out of the open lake along with a good outgoing tide and this water still hasn’t dropped an inch!” His pre-dawn assessment was right on the money and it has not made figuring out the big trout any easier in spite of the user-friendly conditions.Unlike the water soaked spring an...

What we are babbling about is the Houston Astros, who...

Anglers of every description ready themselves with the latest technology and gear in hopes of finding flocks of gulls working over schools of hungry speckled trout and redfish. Shiny fiberglass cruisers masquerading as bay boats are stocked up with an array of tackle that would make most anglers drool with envy. It is the same scenario in each bay system any and...
ORANGEFIELD – A night of celebration turned into an exercise in frustration for Orangefield as the Bobcats fell to Houston Worthing, 35-31, on homecoming night.
