Hi, this is Virginia with the report for April. Yes, April and yes, that means another good fishing season so don't wait to long to book. And yes, folks to the left is the Great Fred Garcia with the Fort Worth Police Department. And yes, Jimmy he really put it on you this time and every other time, too. I don't know if this is true or not but that is the rumor going around. Mike did say that is a direct quote from Fred but I don't think Fred would really say that. Do you want to go fishing or just need a reason or just need a gift idea? Not to worry!! What's better for that special someone than a fishing trip on beautifil Lake Texoma. You know you could drop hints about you going too, just to make sure they don't have all the fun. It is the perfect time of the year to come and see us and you can find the prices on our faq page (this website). Give us a call and ask for Virginia 1-800-593-3368 or better yet email me. Fishing is so good and weather is so cold but that's why they invented coats. Mike's customers have been catching lots of stripers and most are over 20 inches. Mike said the fishing is as good as it gets and that means this month is going to be hard to beat. So in other words: it is a great time to go fishing. If you are looking for a unique gift for that person who has everything, you have come to the right place. We offer "gift certificates" that are good for one year from the time of purchase. The weather will warm up, the bait will be hard to catch, the fishing will still be only awesome thats all and I don't see how it could be much better than being awesome. Now is a great time to go have some fun with your family and friends. No excuses, this is a great sport for kids, family and friends, so come on and go FISHING. You catch the fish and Mike and Phil does the "cleaning". That simple. We are doing winter catfishing trips this year and have been very successful. In Feb., the biggest catfish pulled was fifty pounds. Good size, huh. They bait jug lines, do some striper fishing in between running the jugs and it is a two day minimum. By the way, for all of you that have already gone fishing with Mike and Phil and have pictures that would would like to see on our website, email them to me and I will try my best to get them posted as soon as possible. By the way, please check out the new pictures that I added and GOT RIGHT. No kidding we work really hard to make sure you enjoy your fishing trip with us, even to booking your lodging and you can also catfish on our dock. We work hard for you because we naturally want your business BUT, we also want you to come back and you won't do that if you had a lousy time. Here is just a sample of what Mike, Phil, Gary, and Scott do for your trip. They get around 3am the morning of your trip to get bait. Not just any bait, it has to be a certain kind and the right size, too. They also carry just enough (they know how many they can carry) in their own tanks so the bait will stay fresh. They know exactly where to go, what time of the year is the best, what the stripers will hit and how deep they are and lastly they know where the big stripers are going to be and also where to go for the "box fish". They also can tell you just real close what to expect certain times of the year. By the way, I can too. No, we don't know it all, we have been just been doing this a long time. I didn't hit the surface of the trip itself, like how they bait your hook, take off the fish, rebait the hook even help you get the fish in the boat. I didn't even get to the equipment, which I tell Mike he doesn't need any of it because he can smell the stripers out before the fancy equipment has even seen the fish. They put a lot of time and effort into each trip to make sure you have fun. Sure anyone can go fishing but with a guide you can have FUN going fishing because he is doing all the work. Besides doing all the work they also supply all the tackle and keep track of how many fish you and the other members of your party have caught. (It can get pretty fast and furious sometimes). So come on, give us at least one chance to show you we mean business. The picture to the left is Chad Robinson's group from Paris, Tx. and I am pretty sure they had fun, just ask them. Right guys? The picture to the right is Logan Wright and he came all the way from N. C. to put it on the Apache crew even Grandad Fred. Boy did he ever put it on them! Way to go Logan. You can be catching fish like these if you will call me or send mea email and I will start putting together YOUR trip of a lifetime.         ATTENTION: DEER HUNTERS Drum roll please:::::"GUN DEER SEASON"::::::::::: Is anyone out there that is not going deer hunting because they don't have a place to hunt? Well, then shame on you for not calling us because we have the land and a great number of deer this year. We had a excellent season last year and Mike has already seen big bucks this year so don't wait to book and get left out in the cold. We have a new motion camera that we just put on one of our leases. It takes pictures of any kind of movement and I mean any kind of movement. Now, how cool is that? I mean, it will take pictures of all the wildlife, people (just ask Mike and Gary), even spiders. We are already getting some great deer shots. (no pun intended) Of course, Mike and Gary are having so much fun with the camera that the first couple of rolls were of them trying not to take pictures of each other or themselves. GUESS WHAT? I have got some deer pictures! The pictures are in the gallery section, page 5. ANOTHER NOTE::::I have recent pictures of deer just posted them and they are some beauties, too. AND ATTENTION: FISHERMEN AND FISHERWOMEN Know someone who has a birthday? Need gift idea for Mother's Day (guys don't laugh because there are a lot of us women who would love have a fishing trip for a Mother's Day gift) or Father's Day or just a gift? HERE IT IS the gift of a life time. Also mentioned eariler, we do gift certificates and it is good for a year so you buy the gift and they worry about booking before the year is up and gone. All kidding aside, this is a really good gift for that special person (even if it is for you). This is a gift that won't be put away never to be seen again. So don't miss out, give us a call. Mike and Phil are drifting with bait now in 20 to 40 foot of water and they are catching good size quality stripers. This time of the year they are using bait. They have been pulling in stripers up to 18 pounds. Now that the water is cold the fish are more active. It is a good idea to bring a cooler with drinks and then you will have something to take your fish home. It is a very good idea to bring plenty of warm clothing because "you can always take it off but you can't put it on if you don't have it". This picture to the left is of Matt Stanley and Danny Bruce of Ft. Worth. Yes, they know The Great Fred Garcia and since they do know Fred there is a small war going on at the Ft. Worth Police Dept. Who's is biggest? How about you send me an email voting on the fish you think is biggest. I will post the winner on this page next month so vote for your pick. Bet you would liked to have been there having fun. Right? You can, it isn't to late, I promise. Why not just pick up the phone or better yet you are on the computer anyway so why not email us? Didn't get enough of fishing? Then, while Mike and Phil filetand clean the stripers, you can fish on our cleaning dock for catfish. This is what I like to do when they come in from a trip. The catfish are biting good now and I have pulled in some weighing up to 15 pounds but have seen bigger ones. So what are you waiting for? Just watch out for the PINK POLE OR the YELLOW POLE!! We have also got another adventure for the strong and brave, it is called a HOG HUNT!! They are Russian Boar mixed with Feral. These hog hunts are very successful with the customers. I guess it must be a rush or something, in my case, it would be fear. The success rate is at right a 100 percent. The interest shown and the number of days already booked for hog hunts is unbelieveable, so don't wait too long to book your trip. Hog hunts that are available are in Antlers, Ok. which is in south east Ok. There is lodging available or you can camp or bring your RV, all you need to do is call me and I can set it up for your trip. We also have hog hunts available in Paris, Tx. If you are still interested or thinking about it or just haven't made up your mind then email or call me for more information. Want to hog hunt and go fishing? Boy, do we have a deal for you. Now are you interested? Email or call me and I will tell you the details. Come on, what are you waiting for? We are waiting for your call and I check my email every night. OK, OK maybe not every night. P.S. We will be doing the Texas Hunters Extravaganza in Ft. Worth, Tx. we hope to see you there. The show is Aug.20th thru Aug. 22nd. Come by and say Hi and of course to book your trip. P.S.S. To all of our customers and to be customers: Thank you for your business! It is not to late to book YOUR trip of a lifetime.
