July 20, 2009 by triman

Went fly fishing on Keith Lake this morning.  It is located just off highway 87 near Sabine Pass.  Didn’t catch anything, but had a great time paddling and checking out the few alligators we saw.  One was HUGE…about 10ft in length.   We paddled and fished for 3 hours and then the winds just got [...]

Cooks Lake Kayak Trip

July 19, 2009 by triman

Me and the gang headed to Cooks lake today for a canoe trip. Located literally on the edge of Beaumont city limits, the lake is an excellent local for an easy paddle trip. Took us an hour to get our Kayaks from our outfitter so we got started a little late. No worries, we had [...]

Training Woes
