Fisherman recounts epic January bass haul and treasure tale
In a Wimberley Mill column from February 2, 1970, Tom Haley and the author recall a January fishing spree with eight bass weighing fifty pounds, plus tales of a buried gold stash from grandmother Hughes’ era. They press future trips, note worming and cold-weather tactics, and close with a humorous Austin Bass Club plan for fishing trips and family talks.
