and $50,000, will be stocked today in three power plant lakes for

Calaveras outside San Antonio.

Resaca de los Cuates – Lake Mohave
The Resaca de los Cuates, located in the
lower Rio Grande Valley (extending 63 miles from Rancho Viejo to just
south of the Arroyo-Colorodo inlet), is simply infested with largemouth
bass. Latley I have pulled at least one four pounder on every trip
(catch and release only – remember kids, you can’t keep ’em all). The
resaca was last stocked in 1990 by TPWD with over 110,000 largemouth
fry. Since then, due to time and a sheer lack of bass anglers down
here, this resaca (spanish for oxbow lake) is teeming with large bass.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a trophy bass out there somewhere.
Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Fishing in Iraq – Lake Mohave
This is the real story of what a little support from home means to the
troops. I came to Iraq about 15 months ago and things were pretty hot,
mortars and rockets were pretty much a nightly thing and you didn’t get
much of a break from the war. The Camp I’m working out of is right on
the edge of Baghdad and surrounded by man made lakes on one of Saddam
Hussein’s many Palace complexes. Here in Middle East, water is precious
commodity and controlling it a sign of wealth and power. That’s the
reason all of his palaces were surrounded with lakes, especially right
in this area. When dignitaries or others would fly into Baghdad
International Airport he wanted the lakes and Palaces to be the first
thing they saw from the air, and being a fish lover (so I have been
told) he stocked them with Carp, all kinds of Carp. We have gold carp,
Silver carp, Black and Brown Carp. We have big Carp and little Carp.
The only variety of Carp we can specifically name is a Grass Carp.
Trying to look up fish on the internet isn’t as easy as you might
think. All we can find are scientific names with pencil sketches.
