We had a houseboat at Huxley Bay on Toledo Bend for 20 years. My dad would go sink a few boat loads of brush, cotton seed cake, dog food, etc. then wait a few days. He would check me out of school on Thursday, he would already have pounds of minnows, groceries etc. We would take the houseboat out and park in our spot next to the channel in 40ft of water.
We would hang 4 Coleman lanterns off each side, and fish 4 or 5 poles each side, bugs were horrible, but we always ended up with an ice chest or 2 full of crappie fishing most of the night.. Houseboat slept 8 with huge decks, we always had family or friends with us, sometimes 4 boats tied up to the houseboat. One night steaks, next night fried fish, always ate good.
We would pull the bass boat behind the houseboat, lots of times we would get up early and go bass fishing, or bream fishing, then have to help clean 100 bream. We would be on the water Thursday through Sunday before going back to land. Sometimes I would bring friends, when at dock, we would wait for the guides to come in. When they threw fish guts in the water, we would catch huge gar on steel leaders for fun, the gars stayed there. Those were awesome times.
Sounds like a blast!
