Thanks to all who called , txt'd, or emailed a birthday greeting to me today!It is so nice to first have another birthday, and second, to actually show up on multiple people's calenders!
I decided to go fishing on my birthday, so went online and found a state park, Fairfield Lake, that I had never been to before. Six hours of Starship travel on two laners put me there into a super spot on the water on a special lake that has fresh water redfish. These are the fish with a black spot on the tail, and usually you find them as a saltwater fish. Great eating and fun to catch, they hit like a freight train and fight well.
This lake has them as a freshwater fish and the current redfish record here is 36 pounds! Also huge crappie and bass in this lake. You can fish from shore at your campsite with live shad (minnows). If you ever come here take spot 109, second choice take spot 67, both are waterfront sites and fantastic, we are in 109. All state parks have a best spot, come on a sunday afternoon when everybody is leaving and you can have the best spot. Always drive through a park before registering to find the sweet untaken spot.
Texas does a great job with their state parks, here is a link to their site to give you an idea of this park as well as others in the state::
Look at this great tree in the park, talk about losing your roots! Just shows a flash flood in Texas can be serious business.
Spanky says walking on the sand inspecting the catch is good back therapy! We may just have to stay here a couple of days!
