Fishing fever grips South Plains as boats and gear move
South Plains anglers flood dealers with demand for boats and outboard motors amid windy weather. Senate Bill 140 hearing in Austin drew strong support from hunters and fishermen, urging Game and Fish Commission control. Lake Kemp crappie fishing yields high catches, with multiple crews reporting many crappie and bass in recent trips. The Lubbock Casting Club meets tomorrow and a Portage 10 Alaska movie is planned.
