This summer was a busy fishing season. Fishing is much more fun than blogging. I have a lot of lakes to catch up on in terms of reporting. So I attempt to build these in chronological order. I drove cross country to get to Fort Drum NY in June 2020. My arrival started a two …

The challenge is …

Caution: Kayak Rentals from Army MWR sites It had been a long week but I wanted to get out on the water. It rained hard that morning so I was out at Toledo Bend after a hair cut in Leesville and some lunch. I was serious about going after some catfish so the night before …
Toledo Bend #2 was a focus on catfish and it was not a bad morning. I rented a canoe and I was out to the cove I found on the first trip. Two nice channel cats and 5 smaller cats. Nothing fancy just worms, hooks and sinkers. What was unusual was a lot of the …
After some research on line, I found that the Army has a Recreation Area on Toledo Bend. The area has a boat launch, kayaks and canoes to rent as well as bass boats for rent. On the site is a sand beach and cottages and RV sites. I plotted my route and headed to the …

This week was the initial TELEWORKING week at Lackland AFB. Lots of changes to include making the home office better by finishing up my stand up desk (also known as a podium) and getting an up to date laptop to work with a supported operating system and do my part to protect the network. I …
After 18 months of shore fishing, I had some overtime and used it to get a new Kayak. Its a step up from the Eagle Talon sit on top from Dick’s but the price was worth the seat alone. This model has lots of room and is extremely stable. I have not attempted to stand …
The Medina River has stopped running the past 6 weeks due to lack of rain. The Hill Country got some rain so I went to check on it late in the dusk while our grand daughter was taking a bath. To my surprise the water level remained higher than I expected but not enough to …
