I remember those days. The Texas shrimpers would hit Big Lake cause we opened our season before Texas did. We had a 20 ft. flat with a 90 Merc.
We hit the areas around the mouth of the bayous and I can remember catching a lot of grass in the nets. I haven't seen grass in Big Lake in years
either.
I also remember the lake being deeper, the old jetties sticking up a lot higher and Jr.'s cut was just wide enough for one butterfly barge.
