I have one of those tee shirts with a skeleton sitting in a boat the caption is some day my fish will come. For me its just the fun of being out. I have been sitting on a dock in the shade tight lining cat fish before gotten a bite and got aggravated cause I hadda put the book I was reading down to set the hook.
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry David Thoreau
I have a poster with that exact saying on the freezer in my garage!Quote:

Park and surrounding town and area.
It's 78 degrees and only 50% humidity and that beats the crap outa 95 and 85%. A short month ago it would take me 3 or 4 water breaks to mow the back yard I just did it in one lick. Now its time to shuffle the yard jewlery around and tackle the front. Busch beer is on sale 17$ for a thirty pack and thats tax included. Sure looking for wards to a few of those after I am done.
Cappy, go to Hemphill across the bridge in Texas. Eat some ribs at Hemphill BBQ and buy a coconut pie to go. By the way, it won't take long to check out the area.
Danny's right about that. Also Frank's tamale's in Zwolle.
If we make it and I hope we will we will check out the Louisiana side and definitely look into some tamales We will also be checking churches and washaterias, grocery and hardware that sort of stuff ohhhh and bait and tackle. Fire wood etc. When ya go and set up shop for a month ya gotta think about those things. If I have phone service then I can let yall know when I get there on da lap top and pick yalls brains if needed.
The Exxon station in Toledo Town (Toledo Town and Tackle) has a very good bait and tackle selection. One big store, separate cash registers though for some reason in the same building. You can't buy shiners and beer at the same register :confused:. Grocery store in same area right down the road. Hardware wise, you'll have to go to Many. I've been told there is a Walmart there as well - not sure where it's at (and don't care to know :rolleyes:). At the campground, around the cabins area, you'll see dry timber for firewood.
Cell phone service is off and on. Go next door to Wildwood Resort to connect if need be, they have satellite service, no password required. If you're going next week, check out the Zwolle Tamale Fiesta (40th year), pretty cool:

Cappy got to tell ya....if you dont drive around to Texas side and eat at Hemphill bbq and get some pie too your missing out big time
