Well my family and I made it to Texas 11 days ago. We are in a bnb until our manufactured home is finished.
Fished lake Hawkins, about 30 minutes north of Tyler, a few times without hooking a fish. Had a few bites but no real takers. Is hard to fish this spot from shore as the vegetation is thick and extends a good 50 feet. A few little pockets of open area.
Can't wait to find a spot and gives Bob's jigs a proper workout and catch some fish!
Probably head to the Hawkins dam soon and Tyler state park.

Wish me luck!
