This spring was one of the best in a long time in Sabine Lake. I had friends that were limiting on the LA shoreline fairly quickly. Then the rains hit............

The three big floods back to back to back slammed the lake. It took a while for the water to flood the lake but it finally pushed most of the saltwater out. That pushed the specks toward the jetties and maybe offshore. If you could find them there, you could do fairly well but it did not appear to be consistent. I went two weeks ago to the jetties and then the first rigs. We got nothing at the jetties and about 27 between 3 different rigs. I have had worse days. Back the very next day and we got 60 at the near rig alone. 

I fish a dock at night in the ship channel and by this time of the year we have been getting good stringers for a few years. I guess due to the freshwater, we have not even seen a fish under the lights until about three weeks ago. Now they are starting to show up. Not great but they are there finally. I am guessing that they are heading back up into the big lake now also. 

It just looks like those really historical floods slowed the fishing and pushed many or most of the fish out. It also appears that it is finally coming back to normal.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
