This past week provided the good, the bad, and the ugly fishing action due to being locked into an unusually cold winter. But with a little more patience by anglers, the weather will eventually break into the “Texas Friendly” we are all used to. Despite the negatives, the anglers were able to land a few nice fish for their fish fry menus.
