It’s official. Fishing season has begun in East Texas. By that I mean that the crappie are beginning to spawn. For those of you that may not know what a crappie is, it is a fish that usually weights about a pound or so. They are flat with all the eating meat on their sides making them easy to filet. Fish lovers say that crappie are the best tasting fish ever. I would not know, but will take their word for it. Oh, and it is pronounced krä peʹ, not how you just said it.
The way to tell when fishing season starts is to drive almost any highway, road or dirt trail that has a crossing from a creek or cove from the lake. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and golf carts line the path. Locals know where the fish come to spawn and they turn out in droves. I have not seen it first hand, but I am told that near the metropolis of Chandler, there are times when the line of vehicles on both sides of the highway stretch for miles. This has to be a game warden’s dream come true. You don’t have to chase them down to see if they have a fishing license. You got them all in one place.
Why does fishing season matter? Just try to get something repaired.
You have to wait until August.
