Oh yes. I live 30 miles from the best walleye lake in Texas. I went there today and caught five eaters. 

Meredith?

I've had a rough few nights at my rockpile on Ray Roberts, then again I've only had an hour or so to fish for a couple nights. I don't think I'm actually having trouble finding fish by my standards, it's more about having as much time unconstrained as I had been. I don't fish as well when I'm feeling rushed. I'm going to try not to work for the month of March and try and get my confidence back a little bit.

Yessir. Buffalo lake is good walleye fishing too. I used to fish lake Palo Duro when it was up , but it has become a mud puddle after the drought.

I was in Dalhart for a work night this week and Meredith was calling my name...wanted to stop at some of the lakes on 287 but they're all dried up. I have tons of family in the central panhandle. Somehow I've never been to Meredith. We're having a memorial for my grandpa in May...I intend to bug my uncle to drive the male cousins around in the pontoon boat so I can get me one of them toothy bass ?

I have a broken off ultralight spinning rod that broke just above the first guide. I have attached an old Zebco underspin reel with 6 lb monofilament and tied on a 3/8 oz practice plug. It is known around our house as 'the cat exerciser'. 

 

It casts super easy using kind of an underhanded flip cast that will sling it into adjacent rooms of down a hallway. Cats love it, I also would let out a few feet of line and twirl in a circle like a lasso. That one would have the cat chase it until he had to stop. Have you ever seen a cat so winded that he had to pant to catch his breath?

 

I found that cats hate to see it disappear. That could be through a doorway, around the corner of a piece of furniture, etc. It just triggers their predatory response as they don't want it to get away.

When I feel desperate, I walk out of my house. single digit temps help you get over it.
