Well here it are a brand new day right on the border of Mexico. How close do ya say? Well 'cord'n to my estimations, I would rekon bout 2 mile from where I'm camped.....right across the Falcon dam, give or take. Now the reason I brung this up is that Falcon Lake is dangerous place to be bass fish'n. There's pirates in them waters. Steal all your money if'n ya can't out run pirate speed boats. Ain't been much in the neews for the last couple years of such occurrences, but I betcha a dollar, they still out there look'n for an easy take. Like a "bubba boat". That why I don't go out there when the wind could blow me to the other side.
Need I say more. I'm think'n Joey was right. Somebody sneeked down there and move my rock.
For all ya engineer people, how much water came into the lake over night? To help ya out a bit, the lake is bout 35 miles long an' probly average maybe 2 mile wide. That rock was bout 6 inch thick....or something like that (water level came up bout 4 inch).
Today started out same as yesterday, no sunshine. Low last night was 58 degs.
While I was at the lake yesterday, I went off track'n again. You know, just to see what critters may have visited the shoreline for a drink. Weren't a new track one. Same ol' ones what was there the day before. Speak'n of tracks, I'm think'n that other track was a girl coyote....long finger nails ya know. But then, somebody suggested it was a Chupacabra. Now what kind of nonsense is that? Everbody know there ain't no such thing as a Chupacabra. Sheesh!!! I rekon I ain't the only one that don't know nuttin bout critter tracks.
I was just sit'n there look'n out across the lake. Just mind'n my own business think'n bout that 14 pounds bass I gonna catch up. A hour later I waked up. I were actually watch'n a little boat out there fish'n in the same place I see all them fish jump'n the day before. He never catch a damn thing.
In the State Park is a little butterfly village. So's I stop off an' take a look. Yup, there was butterflies fly'n all over the place. Little ones what would'n sit still for a photo opp. So I says to hell with it. Stupit butterflies.
Now if'n I was a butterfly, this is where I would hang out. People take my picture....stuff like that.

ReplyDeleteAccording to google maps you are straight line 2.54212 miles from Mexico give or take a few inches.
Thanks Barney. I were sure but I was close enough I rekon. I see the weather is pick'n up up there just like it is here. Only you catch'n up tooo many fish.
DeleteNo water left where the 277 bridge is. The fish done gone to deeper water. Thinking I need to go to Rough Canyon.
DeleteHey BB you need one of them 75mph bass boats, get to your spot fish and haul ass back that will work. In fact I'm trying to trade my Georgie-Boy Pursuit for one of them very boats. Had a offer but the guy's wife said get the money honey....LOL
ReplyDeleteDon't rekon I would ever want to go that fast in a boat. Now where the hell do you rekon I would put a 75 mile a hour bass boat in "da house"? Sheesh!!!
DeleteCome on BB you got to triple tow it like them oil burning 5er do...
DeleteI saw a program about the chupacabra, which featured a shot of a live one, that made a believer out of me! Now are you telling me there ain't no such thing?
ReplyDeleteI from Missouri honey, ya gotta show me first. Probly if'n I did see one I still wouldn't believe it.
DeleteI'd have to paddle pretty hard to stay out of pirate clutches. I'll stay on land.
ReplyDeleteWell Duck, I got me a hunnert horses power troll'n motor, but I don't rekon that would be enough neither.
DeleteLooks to me like the water is rising up nicely! Why don't ya just wade out there to the fish? When they swim up to see what the heck is coming in the water, you might catch 'em!
ReplyDeleteWhere they been jump'n, I ain't gonna be wad'n out that far. Bout 150 feets from shore. And I would probly drown out that far anyhows.
DeleteMaybe one of them innnertubes with a seat for fishing could be my next "boat".
DeleteAt Lake Amistad you don't have to worry about no stinking pirates!
ReplyDeleteAll we have to worry about is keeping enough water to keep the fish swimming. It looks like it all is headed for Falcon.
