We are so fortunate here in Central Texas to have one massive chain of lakes fed by the Colorado River and others as this chain moves from northwest to southeast.

In another article, I talked about the major structure we find in Central Texas lakes and discussed the technique to use to fish buck brush. Today I want to talk about fishing a lake that has a lot of boulders, big old rocks, in them.

Well after being gone for a few months, it’s time to get back to work and get on with “Hook-Up” business.

We’re entering the third year of college football’s playoff system, and I couldn’t be happier.

First let me say this article has nothing to do with any corner in any city in the great state of Texas ... sorry! It’s about making wise decisions on bass fishing hooks.

In our last article, we discussed the things you need to do to prepare your boat for either a day on the water or a big bass tournament.

Put yourself in the position of a big old bass and think about how many baits you have seen go past your nose and how many you have really bit and found the point of that darn sharp hook in the corner of your mouth and based on the fisherman being such a nice guy he has released you back to …

Here in Central Tejas, within the highland lakes area, people are always asking me how fast bass grow. Well, a lot of that depends on Mother Nature and what she provides for the fish as far as shelter, forage, water levels, etc.

We have all heard the old expression “If you want to keep something alive, teach it to your children.”

So you decided that you are going up to Lake LBJ and see what you can do with the bass in all this heat.

Well, the August “dulldrums” are here and it’s so hot you could cook a 2-inch thick steak on the deck of your boat, lay the potatoes out to bake themselves and top it all off with the egg you fried on top of the motor.

Today I want to talk about Jerk baits, and when to use them.

The dog days of summer have been around the Central Texas area for several weeks now, and that means the new school year is less than a month away for many students here in Texas.

OK, you have the Buzzin, Wobblin, Propin and Poppin down when it comes to baits, so it’s time to move on to the Dartin and Frogin.

Today we are going to continue the top water baits study by looking at ways to use the next two types: the poppers and those with the props on either both ends or the tail end.

We all have our preferred baits. But I think most fishermen will agree that there is nothing more exciting than catching a nice bass on top water baits.

Well, it’s summer, and while you are out on the water I’m sure you have seen the shad busting the top trying to get away from those hungry predator bass.

Well, guys, summer is upon us and you know what that means as far as the bass.

Well, folks, the Texas summer has arrived with a vengeance! I know you’ve heard this before, but with what I’m going through, I can’t help but share some advice that will have some lasting value to you.

Well, folks, I have to start this article off with an apology.

Today, I want to talk about some fishing techniques that have come and gone, based on the newer baits and tackle, but still can be very effective today.

This is the third article about what you can do to make your boat more survivable for the fish you catch on Central Texas lakes.

Today, I want us to explore the title question on several issues. I know I sometimes I question myself if I’m doing the right thing.

Well, summer is right around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about what to do when you hit the lake this summer and you have the Blue Bird Sky’s and temps in the 90-plus range.

Boy, this year’s weather is something, isn’t it? How has it impacted on your fishing this year?

Warmer weather is here, and that means more people will be out walking their dogs soon. One of my biggest pet peeves is dog walkers who allow their dogs to approach other dogs without permission.

Sunday was a beautiful day, so my wife and I decided to head down to Salado to do a little shopping.

My wife and I have been married more than eight years, and it still amazes me how much we have in common.

Acupuncture is a relaxing experience. Surprised? Most are, since we do use needles. Consider it a natural alternative to Western medicine. We use short filiform needles and various acupuncture point combinations to treat the body of numerous ailments, such as chronic pain, sleep problems, em…

GATESVILLE — Coryell County this week joined the rest of the nation in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Cooperative Extension System.

GATESVILLE — History buffs like me are suckers for historical markers. The sight of one of the black plaques on a Texas building or roadside will cause us to pause for a quick history lesson.

GATESVILLE — The Coryell County Economic Development Board has postponed its budget pitch to the county commissioners on strategic planning so members can gather more information.

GATESVILLE — I’m not sure we can call this a pilot project.

We’re only two weeks into 2014, but I have to say it’s been a bumpy year so far. I’ve experienced lots of high and lows, excitement, disappointment, anxiety and joy.

My husband and I took a road trip last weekend. We travel very well together. He drives and I ride, and that’s fine with me. However, our road trips tend to be quite … quiet. I would prefer a little more conversation to fill the hours and hours of silence, but he’s just not the talkative type.

I’ve always believed that babies have the power to heal families. My mom is living proof, since her own birth healed a rift between her daddy and his father-in-law on the day she was born in 1932. Her grandfather came to see his new granddaughter, and that was the first time her mother had s…
