Trip to Vansickle, Texas and Lake Tawakoni on May 14,2022 - 05/15/22 01:29 PM
Vansickle is a little town just north of Quinlan. The pastor of the Baptist church there asked me to come to a men's function, have a fish-fry lunch, give a devotional, and share the Mepps technique with the men. The pastor, David Upchurch, was in the youth group with my daughter in the early 1980's, and I used to take him white bass fishing on Lake Livingston back then - using the Mepps method of course. After the meal, the devotional ("All of the truths of the Gospel are in one verse of the Bible (John 3:16)), and the Mepps talk and demo, I took the pastor and one of his members - Nathan - fishing on Tawakoni. We fished from 3:30 to 7:50 PM and caught 43: 40 white bass, a cat, a short hybrid, and a 25 3/4 inch hybrid. Fish were harder to find and harder to catch than last week. The best spot was Wolk Creek Humps - the easternmost hump. Here are some pics of the day:
