Taking the boy fishing

[father of 4]

Tuesday me and my Son have decided to try out Lake Kickapoo. The lake is out side of Wichita Falls Texas. They have cabins that supply everything except the linnens and food. They are $50.00 a night and require 2 night stay. They have a great fishing barge and are very friendly. One of my great friends and Retired Fire Fighter from here in Paducah caught tons of crappie there as well as some good catfish. He highly recommended it and had some great pics to prove his success there. Looking forward to seeing him whoop me at fishing. I dont know about you guys but seeing my kids catch more fish and bigger fish than me is WAY more fun than winning. It is great to see their faces light up when they beat old Dad. If any of you guys are interested the number to call there is (940) 525-4431 Tell them Gordon, the Fireman from Paducah sent you.

Well we went fishing and Stayed 3 nights at Lake Kickapoo. It is outside of Wichita Falls, Texas. We had a couple of cool fronts come thru and slowed the crappie down a good bit but we still had a great time. The bigges Crappie was 14 1/2" long. They sure do taste good lol. I tell you what folks this was my first time to Lake Kickapoo but it definately wont be my last. It is the closest feeling to being at home I have ever had without being at home. The cabins are great. They are not very big but they are nice. One has a seperate bedroom with a full sized bed and a futon couch that folds out into a full sized bed. Thet other 3 cabins are open accept for the bathroom and have the bed and futon plus a twin bed. All cabins come with a full sized Fridge, stove & oven, sink, microwave, toaster, and coffee pot. Also a full sized bath. They are $50 a night on weekdays, or $100 for 2 days which is the minimum for weekends. If you stay a third night it is $30 more and 7 days is only $200 Also the main thing is everyone down there will treat you like you have known them for 20 years. It was truly a great and memorable time. Oh and by the way my motor on my bass boat decided to ness up while we were there (float on the carb I think) we had to row that thing 3/4 of the way across the lake before we saw a boat that could pull us. Darn that boat weighs a lot lol. Good thing is I had the long paddle and my boy had the short one. He had to paddle 10 to my one lol. Heck he needed it lol. As you can tell guys I had a great time. We only came home with 2 1/2 quart bags of fillets but Boy it was fun..... Oh I hope I did this darned pic thing right.
