cool video. We make a trip out to the Sabine every year for the white bass spawn. We fish south of Carthage. Hands down the most epic white bass fishing/catching I've ever seen. I fish Tawakoni a LOT since it's only 30 minutes fromthe house, basically the Sabine begins behind the dam of Tawakoni in NE Texas and the only lake between it and the gulf is Toledo Bend. Fork dumps into it, but doesn't impede it's navigation.
A buddy of mine found one of those cabins washed up on a sand bar one year when he was hunting some WMA land and using his boat to access it. Front porch was stock with firewood for the stove, the cabinets inside were full of canned goods, linens on the beds, like someone was living in it. Only it was sitting half on/half off a sand bar and was severely out of level. It had obviously broken loose during a flood and came to rest there. He was amazed how little damage it had sustained.
Psycho,
You are about 65 miles from us. We actually live on Lake Hawkins, right off Hwy 80. (Just always easier to say Tyler).
I know what you mean about the cabins. Our guys have helped others in rescuing their cabins, and barrels, after the river floods. It always amazes me what you see floating down that river. Boy do I love to jump the log jams!
And, yes, most have sleeping quarters, food, wood burning stove, etc.... After a good rain, the River Rats come out. If it is a weekend, the river will be alive all night long. Running lines, going from cabin to cabin, fresh fish fries, and, a beer or three. A lot of fun.
Lake Fork Creek is 2.5 miles from us, on Hwy 80. Three bridges cross over it. The wilderness preserve is on Hwy 69, right outside of Mineola. There is a bridge there as well, and a boat ramp.
We usually put in at the Hwy 14 river bridge just outside of Hawkins, and go down river to the Hwy 155 bridge at Big Sandy. Only 5 miles via Hwy 80; almost 10 by way of the river. Our kids barge is located about half way.
Just lots of fun!
Thanks for the comments!
