I hate to admit this in front of my Arkie buddies, but I am from Texas. I am proud to be from Texas but, some people act silly when they find out you are from there. Though I never did fish Patman lake, My Grandfather told me many stories about it. He used to take me to Lake o the Pines when I was a boy. Toledo Bend and Caddo Lake are some of my old stomping grounds too. I love to hear reports from there and welcome to the Arkansas board.
