"The Official Getaway Capital of Texas" is Lake Whitney!

Today, I would like to share a great vacation spot with you. Lake Whitney has been officially designated as "The Official Getaway Capital of Texas"! Enjoy camping, lots of public access for fishing, lots of public boat ramps for boating, hunting, sight-seeing, scuba diving, wildlife, bird-watching, sailing, swimming, We have the color changes in fall, we have year-round wildlife, we have golf, we have facilities here for corporate retreats, hotels, motels, lodges, and other accomodations in both Hill and Bosque County, and much more. The natural beauty of Lake Whitney is one of the area’s many assets. The lake offers 225 miles of shoreline and 37 square miles of water, is 45 river-miles long, and is up to four miles wide. Whitney is all limestone, so it consists of all deep, blue water, and there is nowhere near as much watercraft traffic as other popular lakes. The lake was the place to go in the 1950s and 1960s, but then they built all those other lakes up in the Dallas/Ft.Worth Metroplex, and Lake Whitney was sort of forgotten. This lake is not overpopulated with people, so it is the perfect lake! I do hope that more folks get the chance to visit the lake. I love it here and it is a wonderful home too! I am a proud member of the community. Thanks, for taking the time to read my post!

Meet my little fishing buddy, Alvin!

I would like you to meet Alvin, my little fishing buddy. He is just the best fishing buddy! I do alot of my fishing alone, so I take Alvin with me. He lets me know if someone else is around. Nobody will be able to approach without me knowing about it. That is a good thing because I do alot of night fishing in a secluded area. My husband does not enjoy fishing anymore so I have come to rely on Alvin for security. I would like to encourage all of you to be aware of your surroundings while night fishing and fishing in the daylight hours as well. Women that fish alone have to be aware, more so than a man, but everyone should think about these things, men and women alike. Always let someone know where you are fishing and when to expect your return. Make sure that you have your cell phone with you and make sure it has a strong signal, in case you have to call for help. You just never know what might happen while you are out on your adventure. Alvin really enjoys going fishing with me. He stands watch as I enjoy my catfishing. He enjoys being nosey as well. He has to smell every bait that I use. He is so funny. He plays with the minnows, shad and other bait fish that swim around in the shallows. Just becareful that your fishing buddy doesn't accidently get hooked with stray fishing hooks.

Happy Fishing!
