Fishing/Canoe trip

Over spring break, my brother, brother-in-law, and I went on a canoe trip. My brother-in-law (Todd) took his solo ride-on-top Cobra fishing kayak, and Seth and I rode in a 16' Old Town Canoe that we borrowed from someone.

We launched into the San Marcos River at Palmetto State park. We launched on a thursday morning and we paddled/fished/camped until sunday afternoon. We traveled 25 miles (river mileage) to Independence Park in Gonzales, TX. A word for the wise: If you are going on a canoe trip in the future, make sure that you don't plan your mileage as the crow flies. Apparently, the mileage stated on the Texas Park's and Wildlife website is NOT river mileage, but a strait line shot. We only made it about 1/3 of the planned distance.

All in all it was fun. Seth got sun burned on the leg pretty bad.

Rooster Tail Fishing Lure Apparently, when the bass are feeding thats where they go. It took us until the last day to figure it out. Also, fish by the moon. The excellent times are when the moon is directly up, and 12hours from directly up. We found this to be true. All the fish that we caught were on little rooster tail like spinners, except for Todd.Todd was using a fake looking minnow with a spinner on the front.

Website Design and Dance hall

Well, its been a long time since my last post. I hope the faithful readers will remain strong and keep reading even though I don't post often. Anyways, I designed a webpage for a family friend: Kendalia Halle. Check it out and let me know what you think. I welcome any comments from anybody about anything. I'll even except criticism. I am not good at web design, so any comments will be helpful to me. Well, here is the link again: Texas Dance Hall.

Kendalia Halle is actually a really really nice place. If ya'll are ever in the mood for good live bands and dancing, then you really should check it out. Also, my Dad usually is the bartender, and my family goes quite often to dance. If you want to go, and you know my family, call us and we'll go with you.
