Title: First TX 2018
Post by: frugalangler on March 19, 2018, 02:49:19 PM: Well, we had our first club TX last Saturday, what a miserable day.

Twas about 43* at 5:30, 39* at 7:15 launch, and didn't go up a bit until maybe about 1:30, but I bailed out and pulled at 11:30 - about a 20MPH north wind made it nasty and the lake lies N-S, the only great bite lies on a southern bluff bank and the creek runs north from it about 2 miles, so the wind runs the creek and blows up against that bluff - cold and boat position just made for a miserable day.

Oh well, warmer weather to follow - I'm heading to TX Sam Rayburn area next week, warmer weather should be abundant, at least I hope.

I hope the weather in TX treats you better!

We have another Nor'easter blowing in here this week. Our 4th this month!

This one's supposed to drop another 5-8 inches of heavy snow on us. (fp)

I guess it's safe to say that we aren't having an early Spring after all :rolleyes:

Sam Rayburn and some other lakes in area, maybe Toledo Bend if we get bored! Be there 8 full days, note to self, take plenty of sunblock SPF-50!
