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 (Apr. 23)

GOOD. Water Stained; 63 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Bass fishing has been slow with some early morning catching near areas with the shad spawn using DieZel chatterbaits. Once bass move off the shore, switch to squarebill crankbaits in 3-5 feet, or Yum dingers and flukes around grass, and frogs in the grass. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is moving rapidly into the post spawn pattern. Fish are loading up on brush piles, ledges, underwater bridges, road beds, bridges and post spawn trees in 14-25 feet. The fish are hungry after the spawn and they will bite just about anything you out in front of them. We are having great luck with small hand tied jigs but minnows and soft plastics will also work for the next few months until water temps heat way up. Seeing a lot of small fish this year mixed in so some days you will catch and release a lot of short fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
