You all give mr Jeff Ball a mighty large Fishingtx welcome , we found him and his boys at Lake Aquilla last Sunday afternoon and they were just as freindly ah folks as ya ever want ta meet!! Why they gave us some crawfish and pointed us to all the good fishing holes in Lake Aquilla. We done run across that kind of hospitality every day so I invited them to come to our website and be part of the Fishingtx.com familia so join with me in making welcome Jeff AJKA Hoppy and his boys !!!Welcome Jeff

Sorry to hear about your ligaments in your knee, where do you fish at ??? Are you a catfish person or what ???
I don't get to fish much but I likes to come see what other people are catching and to read the stroies, they are a gas....
Of all the websites that I visit and they are quiet a few , this little site rocks with information and stories....
Has some real good guide articles and there is no feuding going on. I was welcomed from the very begining and have not gotten run of yet....LOL
Good luck with your knee and with your fishing....

Warden

Thanks everyone. I like to play in whitney around harbor master we catch from 2-15lbs over there. theres a old creek they like to sit in it ranges from about 20-40ft. Best of all theres a dock(lol) talk later

Warden
01-01-2004, 05:37 AM
"Ther's a dock" does that mean you don't have a boat?

Warden
01-01-2004, 04:09 PM

Warden

Gentleben
01-02-2004, 07:23 AM
Jeff that would be great if you and the boys could come, we do catch some fish, especially that mudcat and ****

Warden
01-02-2004, 09:21 AM
Probably just a tent, or something to sleep in. Depends on when you come . As we get closer, keep reading the post and you will understand how it works,
Gator can tell you a little what to expect for a first timer.

01-02-2004, 09:46 AM
well let me tell you bring the wife kids mother father because everyone is invited and it is a very family atmosphere. we sit around and listen to genleben tell whopper of stories about the one that got away and then mudcat shows us the whopper catfish he caught while **** shows us rookies where to fish and me being the biggest show them how to eat. you and the boys will have a time of your life i know me and my 13 year did my dad came and brother and brotherinlaw a friend and his boys and all can not wait for the next one so i highly recommend loading up and coming on down to the dog gone best fishing gathering in the state in feb

Warden
01-02-2004, 10:18 AM
gentle ben, mudcat and myself love to fish, who else would be on the lake in dense fog and heavy winds,
but who catches them big ones two at a time better than you, noone

Warden
01-03-2004, 12:22 AM

Gentleben
01-03-2004, 06:44 PM
It would be a real blessing to get to see you and the boys again, i think that meeting you and the boys at Lake Aquilla was a divine appointment and every time i run my carwfish traps i think about your boy playing with that big old crawdad. You all are good people and that is one of the qualifications to be part of our gatherings, we have a merry old time eat good and fish good.
Hope to see you soon, let em know, i will have pictures and directions to BJs on the board, you can come straight out of Hillsboro and thru Waco down thru Bryan College station and then you are almost here. Funny thing my brother in law that was with me that day just called , I told him you were coming down, he was happy that we became freinds that day.
See ya buddy!!

Warden
01-12-2004, 01:32 PM
Looks like we may have a lot of children,,Kids too...
How we gonna handel this.?
We could have a kids fishin contest, for about , say 3hours before dark. get all the kids in all the boats and go out all in the same place. what ya think, we need to promote kids fishin , also we need a kids section for the kids to post in thier own place???

We could do this sat night, may be a good thing right,? give them something to remember, they may want to come back.

Warden
01-12-2004, 01:35 PM
i have one boat that can hold twelve and another that can hold 6
they are there if you need them


and two or three good panfish and channel catfish holes we can put them on

Warden
01-12-2004, 02:06 PM
Thats what we need, don't y'all think it would be good?? now who is voluntering to help. we will need adult supervision,anybody know any adults,haha.
Those two boats should be enough, unless the parents want to do a father son\daughter thing in seperate boats . I would take a couple, as long as we didn't go out on the big lake, and we had enough life jackets,
WHAT Y'ALL THINK PARENTS? WE NEED SOME PLANNING HELP, WE GOTTA TAKE CARE OF THE KIDO'S.

01-12-2004, 06:30 PM
i got a bunch of those orange life jackets think i will bring them all rather have not need em than need em not have them kids round up sounds good can i get in see im a newwbe? ialways got room for some mo kids

Warden
01-12-2004, 07:15 PM
Ok , I think most kids have a rod and reel,but we might need a couple just in case. we need to try , when we get a little closer how many kids.
maybe we could have some people that don't fish,bring thier kids and go fishin next time, lets see how this goes.
i think everyone should get envolved with this, it's just for 3 hrs sat night before dark, we come in at a set time.

Warden
01-13-2004, 02:00 AM
I've got some jackets also got some poles and tackle I'll bring it with me okay. only thing we will arrive around 7pm friday but ready to fish sat. morning.

01-13-2004, 02:06 AM

Warden

i have 4 youth jackets, up to 90 lbs, 6 orange jackets, 8 adult jackets and 42 rod and reels, just bring the kids and one or two adults and we will go fishing.

Warden
01-13-2004, 12:35 PM

So everyone have the kids ready to go at 1:00 sat the 14th if you want them to go, I'll go on one of the boats, if you need help with the kids.

Warden
01-17-2004, 08:51 AM

Anxious to see you guys and get into some fishing!!

Warden
01-19-2004, 11:09 AM
Ben what were you gonna start the fish fry? I thought it was after 4:00 thats why we should get the kids out , so we could get back to eat fish. or we could fry fish all day, I'll bring 30 hot dogs in case us kids want some, mustard ketchup. What y'all think? We should decide so we know when to tell were leavin, so the parents will have the kids there, don't want to leave no one.

Warden
02-01-2004, 11:36 AM
I'm back my comp. became sick and had to order a reload program and now it's fine. The gathering is still on I hope so because we will be with each other for 14 years on feb14 and i'd hate to try to figure out anything else so lets fish.
