Car Show Season in East Texas




It's car show season in East Texas. On Labor Day weekend, the Winnsboro Cruise-In Car Show took place. It was a super hot day but there was a great turn out with several unique cars at the show including a Delorean, a Shelby signed by Carol Shelby himself, and many more unique and vehicles. The car show took place at The Deport and included door prizes for all entries. September 14th is the Rains County Fair Classics Round the Square car show and starts at 8am in Emory. September 21st is the Classics in the Park Car Show at Jim Hogg Park in Quitman. The car show is sponsored by the Lake Country Classics Car Club and the Greater Quitman Area Chamber of Commerce. Last year this was an incredible car show with 102 vehicles entered. Dale "The C" Cummings was there playing 50's and 60's music and there were a variety food options available. The Classics in the Park Car Show will be open for registration from 9am to 11am. The show will take place from 9am to 2pm with awards at 2:30pm. Entry fee is $25 per. T-shirts and dash plaques are provided to the first 75 entries. Vendors, food and live entertainment will take place again this year and the Stinson House will also be open for tours. All classes are judged by independent judges. A People's Choice and Kid's Choice award will be voted on by attendees of the car show. Hopefully the temperatures will be more representative of Fall for this show, but no matter what there are sure to be some beautiful vehicles there to marvel at.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 11)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.38 feet above pool. Morning bass bite is good on main lake points with topwaters. There is a good bite with frogs and buzzbaits around grass or flooded weeds. Target points and flats mid-morning with square bill crankbaits in 3-5 feet of water. Midday the offshore bite has been good with fish on road beds, points, high spots and hard bottoms. Carolina rigs are best in 15-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at midday when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Drop a clouser on an isolated cover for black bass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet, clousers are a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing on Lake Fork is heating up just like the temperatures. The fish are really ganging up on the structure in 14-32 feet. White crappie are in timber and brush piles. Black crappie are loaded up on rock piles, tire reefs, brush piles, laydowns, underwater bridges, road beds, docks and regular bridges. Not every structure has fish on it, but the ones that do tend to have a lot. Still seeing tons of fish just under 10 inches but the larger fish are joining the smaller fish more and more each week. Crappie are still biting minnows, hand tied jigs and soft plastics. Reports of some crappie biting larger bass baits when anglers are fishing in areas with a large concentration of bigger crappie. It is a great time to get out and load the cooler with some tasty slabs. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
