We are traveling to east Texas swamp country to Caddo lake for some camping and fishing on the oldest lake in the state. The shores of Caddo lake are lined with endless cypress tress that are filled will wildlife making it a great destination for any outdoorsman.

Back in the summer of 1980 after graduation from high school , my buddy and I put in at Jefferson, Texas and paddled a 16 ft John boat down the Cypress river to the Caddo lake. We camped along some of the small creeks. Had a great time. After that trip he and I left for Marine Corps boot camp.

LFG: A few years ago I put silicon bunk guides on my trailer bunks. Loading is so much easier with them. Easy to install, low cost, minimal upkeep, saves my back every time I use them. You might want to check them out. Thanks for taking care of Rob. We all need guardian angels!

Casey bjorklund: Hi Casey, how does he make that work? Does he cut the pipe in half? If so, what does he use to cut the pipe? Grandpas can make some amazing things. Make sure you take him fishing as much as possible. He’ll love it. I know because I’m a Grandpa and I love it when I fish with my grandkids. P.S. Let him catch one once in a while.🐟🐟

@larrystolzman9337 4 жыл бұрын

Casey bjorklund: Casey, you need to get out fishing. About 15 years ago I was starting a business and my boat didn’t leave the garage for over a year. I look back and realize that wasn’t my smartest decision. I’d love to change that. R&R is good for a person’s health.

Good for you Justin. Fishermen may tell tall tales but by far the nicest people when it comes to helping each other. I ran out of gas in my big motor so all I had was the kicker w a head wind 100th of a knot per hour I had at least 10 fisherman stop and offer assistance. I declined and just trolled w no luck. Didn't realize it at the time but heard it is required by law (wa.st) to aid assistance to a stranded boater.

Clear your camping area of leaves or your going to have ticks trying to sneak into to your sleeping bag and chew on the boys when your sleeping. The last time I stayed in a tent, went through a storm like that. Ended up floating around the tent all night in four inches of water on my air mattress. Went out the next morning there was a 1 1/2 foot thick tree laying across the camp site 2 feet from were my head was. Bought a truck, with a 8 foot bed with a shell ( sliding windows on the sides with screens, no bugs ) on it and stayed in there to never tent camp again. Memory foam bed ( heaven ) 100 foot treble light, fan ,cooler,Gatorade bottle to pee in. Oh and don't forget the Campfire Sandwich/Pie Maker Cooking Iron . Weekend Warrior camping experiences priceless
