Having just returned from Fort Worth, I am reflecting on an interesting week of fishing. It's the pinnacle of the year for bass anglers. The weigh-ins each day were held at the new Dickie's Arena and the Bassmaster Classic Expo was held nearby at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Over 150,000 people were estimated to be in attendance. I was proud to be in the Media Center press room to get first access to the anglers after they weighed in their fish.

With the spring temperatures, boaters will soon be out in force. The winds are forecasted to let up later this week. Authorities have always cautioned the public about picking up hitchhikers on highways and in the case of boat rides, it’s more about the tiny invaders known as the Zebra mussel. An expert once likened the mussel infestation in water pipes coming out of a lake to plaque build-up in a person’s carotid artery.

It is definitely feeling “springy” this week as the Spring Break approaches for the area schools. I found a hummingbird flag hanging on the front porch which means those ruby-throated gems — the hummingbirds — won’t be far behind. My wife is performing her spring ritual of rummaging through my man-cave for a can of bright, red, spray paint. The weather elements during the past year were a little hard on the finish of the family hummingbird feeder.

Years ago, just when I thought I had dabbled in about every legal outdoor activity, my better half asked if I’d ever heard of Richard Carr, who used to own Buried Treasure Antiques in downtown Fort Gibson. My wife went on to say Carr, at that time, had a wonderful shop with all sorts of interesting antiques but he really enjoyed “bottle digging” and collecting.
