SPRINGTIME FISHING CONTINUES TO HEAT UP

Good catches this week continued even though strong and variable south winds blew across our lake most every day. Solid catches of big tackle busting redfish were caught along the ship channel as well the south end of the lake. Most all of the trout that we are catching are in the 17 to 20 inch range but waders throwing Corkys and top water baits are landing a few big girls. I expect to get on the water very soon and the trout will be eating BIG TIME. Call the "DUCKETTS" at 888.762.3391 and get a boat booked to get in on some of that. Here are a few pictures from last week and you can see them all by clicking here.

THIS WEEKS YUMMY RECIPE

As many of you know this very simple recipe is very easy and very good. You can add different spices to make it your own taste. I like to serve it with Ritz toasted chips. They are very good and don't break up when dipping.

Cajun Caviar

• 2 cans blackeye peas, drained
• 1 med jalapeno pepper, minced
• 1/4 white onion, minced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/3 cup Italian salad dressing
• 2 tbs ground cumin
• HR&G seasoning to taste
• 1/4 tsp cayenne red pepper

Combine all ingredients. Serve chilled with your favorite chips or crackers.

My Thought – One of the best feelings in the world is knowing the your presence and absence both mean something to someone.

Have a GREAT week and remember "Ya shoulda been here Yesterday"
