Lake Bastrop again

I'm telling ya...  Lake Bastrop is really growing on me.

The trees around the lake are pine.  The shores look well established but there's huge stump fields and lots of brushy lay-downs. The lake itself has been around since 1964 so it doesn't have that "built in the last 30 years" look like some of the other lakes in the area.

RV Fishing Adventures?

So most of you know that Sarah and I are full time RVers and that we are selling our house (yeah! It's still for sale!), and some of you may know that we have been promoting RV Fishing Sites as something for people to use to find fishing sites.  Well, over the past few months I've been agonizing over the fact that using RV Fishing Sites as a means of something for people to follow our adventures was not only self serving, it really didn't make sense.

Enter RV Fishing Adventures.

Update and our Hike and Fish at Tejas Camp

water since it wasn't that long ago he lost enough
weight to stop having issues with vertigo!

Since this blog is turning into more of a personal blog than anything else, I am going to start making smaller posts with pictures much like I do on Instagram.  Of course, I will still be posting larger posts such as the Fishing or Actually Catching series I am still working through.

These pictures will generally come in two or three pictures and there may be several posts in a row over the course of a week. I'm hoping by posting like this I can get back into the habit of blogging more.  It's been so busy the past year not to mention life has been extremely distracting.

This is no excuse for not keeping my readers up to date, and I apologize for that!

No, we're still here!

Stop for lunch at Inks Lake.

Just an FYI to all those who might think we've dropped off the face of the earth...

Well, maybe we did, but actually I think we simply got too busy.  With the house still not selling due to complications we are still struggling with that problem after 3 months of not knowing what is going to happen, we are still in the same boat!  Nothing has really changed in spite of everything that has been tried.  That said, anyone in the market to rent a house in the country in Central Texas?  haha

On other fronts, we've gotten some fishing time in and were able to spend some time fishing a few fishing holes around here.  We focused hard on getting decent fish for the Yak Tribe tournament during the month of October (one reason we've been so busy!) and it helped put me in the top 20 overall and 3rd out of the bass only anglers. Sarah actually got all her 8 fish this time!  Woo hoo!

Keep reading to see some of the pictures we took so everyone can share some of the fun we had!

Fishing or actually catching? Taking it to the next level - Part 2

Was a tough day due to muddy water,
but still managed to catch something!

PART 2

Click here to read Part 1

Fishing can be a very easy past time.  You put a lure on your line and throw it in the water.  

For many fishing means putting a bobber and a worm on your line, throwing it in the water and waiting.  This is nice for that person who needs a stress reliever and is tired from working hard.  For those of us who work hard at sitting in an office chair, we need something more physically challenging.

Enter the sport of catching fish. This concept takes fishing to a completely different level that requires us to use our brains and try our best to outsmart a fish.

In this multi-piece article I will share with you some of the ways I find fish. If you are an armchair-fisherman and you want to take your game to the next level, the info here should help you do just that.

RV buying and why you need to research

Holding our new goTenna's in our 5th wheel.

Lately I've been talking a lot more about our RV lifestyle and less about fishing. This is mainly because RVing and fishing are becoming closely tied together for us.  As we are now promoting RV Fishing Sites, we are attempting to visit as many RV campgrounds where there is good fishing. On this blog we will be alternating between RVing and Fishing but I also realize that I am due to write a fishing article. The next one will be about fishing...  I promise!

....

We are ready for a new RV.  It's only been 2 years since we got this one, and we really like the layout for the most part, but there are very specific reasons why we want a new RV.  About 10 or 12 specific reasons... or maybe more by now.

You're probably wondering how someone can say "specific" and not be certain about the exact number.  Well, let me tell you how that works...
