Brownsville Tony Loc: Brownsville - Laguna Madre

When I came back from the Brown Water Navy of Viet Nam in 1970 they thought I needed a year or so to regain my equilibrium so they sent me to Goodfellow AFB to monitor some Air Force courses that the Navy was thinking of using. San Angelo has been a soft spot in my heart ever since that time. I spent most of my time hunting. Dove, deer, boar and rattlesnakes. Now, late in life, I've been presented with an opportunity to renew my relationship with life in that part of Texas.
I bought a boat in San Angelo although the popular saying of the time was "more dams on the river and less water on the dam sites than anyplace in the world." I check the Texas freshwater fishing reports once in a while to see if anybody is catching fish at Nasworthy, O.C. Fisher and I wonder if it might be worth looking at? I can't even imagine sleepy, little, San Angelo with 100,000 people, there were maybe a fourth of that when I was there. Matter of fact we were about 45 minutes late landing while they cleared a big flock of sheep off the runway. I've got some medical issues to clear up but we are seriously considering making a trip up there in the Oct/Nov timeframe to snoop around and see if I've got enough left in me to do it.
I'd appreciate any and all points of view.

A 16" crappie is still on my lifetime bucket list and there is a chance I could still do that. I busted 49 clays in a row in a local trap tournament and came in 3rd place. That too was on my bucket list but perhaps I'd better consider that a lost cause.....lol

Man, 49 in a row, WOW !!! On a good day, I'm lucky to get 15 or so. You were competing with a bunch of good shotgunners. That's a big ole crappie!! Good luck.

The two guys who went straight 50 had a sudden-death shoot off and the guy who ended up no. 2 missed on his 21st extra bird. We were younger and steadier then.
