Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, if I knew how to sing the song, I
would Frankie ran into something maybe who knows, who knows
around here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The music
wasn't working. But I get to go to work now,
and I'm feeling a little bit better about my voice.
It's almost back, almost back. Welcome to Sunday morning. Thanks

(00:20):
to you all for listening. If you don't know it,
it got pretty chilly overnight. Some places outright cold. I
got a photograph from Cap Scott just a minute ago
from what he calls in his description a very cold
deer blind. I'll bet it is cold in there this morning.
Just enough north wind, the northwest wind. Actually I had

(00:44):
Let me go here. I'll check and see exactly how
much wind he's got about where he is, and then
I'll tell you about much wind we've gotten other places
around here, because that's going to make a big difference today.
Oh no, it's got defaulting to the wrong page. You'll
that a windsurf thing, but I've got it. Let me
open this thing up a little bit. Yeah, down here

(01:06):
along the coast, pardon me, it's actually not terribly bad.
Moving inland to most of the major deer hunting destination. No,
it's not windy at all. I'm not worried about that.
Never mind. I see one two double digit wind values,
fourteen miles an hour at Rollover Pass what's left of it,

(01:29):
and ten miles an hour down around Lake Jackson. Everything
else is lower, almost dead calm over most of Houston,
and dead calm moving west all the way to San Antonio. Wait,
there's two miles an hour at the weed Ranch wherever
that is seven three two two five seven ninety Email
me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. I wanted to

(01:51):
kind of tee it up with the Texas Temperature game.
If somebody bold enough to play and hadn't snuck a
peak at any temperatures around the state of Texas. This
more yet play for another six pack of tickets to
the January or excuse me, the February eighteen through twenty
two Fishing Show and the George R. Brown Convention Center Downtown.

(02:11):
That's one heck of an event. And if you've never
attended one of these, you ought to yourself, if you
call yourself a fisherman, to go. There's just so much equipment, there,
so many manufacturers represented at that show. That's one of
the biggest draws to that show, as you get to
talk to a lot of the people who were responsible

(02:31):
for the r and d of a particular rod, or
reel or lure. There are boats in there, plenty of
boats to look at. There are a tip I think
they have some ATVs in there. I'm not really sure,
but the fishing show is pretty much it's you've got
the big auto boative show coming up right away in

(02:53):
this month over at NRG. And then we get to
breathe for a little bit and go in and dial
down to actual gear that we can put in the
boat we're going to put behind the truck that all
these shows kind of come together at a great time
to get you all decked out and geared up for spring.

(03:15):
And I've got a six pack of tickets for somebody
who wants to play that game. It's very simple. If
you listened yesterday, you know, if you've never listened it
and just are starting out and you want to play
this game, here's how it works. You will be challenged
by Frankie to determine which of you can come closest
to the current low temperature and the current high temperature

(03:37):
in the state of Texas. The person who has the
lowest difference in the two numbers how far off you
are on both of those, that's the winner. And usually
unless unless somebody I don't know, I don't think I've
ever not given away the tickets, Frankie, I come up

(03:58):
with some reason, I'll give him a second chance, answer
whatever it takes, because I want people going to that
fishing show just as much as I want to go
into the autobotive show, which is coming up. You'll hear
more about that in just a little while. I'll be
telling you all about it. We had that interview yesterday,
which was really nice. It was a replay actually from
Thursday's fifty plus. That's when I interviewed Rochelle. I can't

(04:23):
believe her. I can't remember her last name, Selenas. I
think it is Rochelle Selenas. Gave me some time and
explained exactly what they're going to have out at that
autobotive show, and man, is that going to be a
treat too. That's going to be a really good one.
Pardon me, A little scratchy, A little scratchy still. I
think it's because well, I don't know why right now,

(04:46):
everything's working fun. It'll get there. It usually gets better
as the day goes on. That's what it did yesterday.
Back to my notes I have in front of me here,
I was looking at the camera the which one is
that the saltwater recon cameras this morning, that's the ones
I was looking at. Well, actually I looked at two

(05:07):
different ones, and the saltwater recon is what showed me
what I want to mention right now, low tides on
the beach front at low tides everywhere, really had all
that north wind for the last day and a half
or so, still in that direction. Even though it's settled
down some a little bit more. It's kind of kicking
up a little bit on the coast right now, but

(05:27):
it's still not horrible, not like it's been in any event,
the water got pushed out of that bay to the
extent and even off the Gulf coast, even off the
beach front to the extent that if you were if
you had a bucket of rocks and you started walking
out the ninety first Street pier this morning, based on

(05:48):
the latest photograph I saw, you would have to walk
out probably seventy five to one hundred yards before you
would hear a splash when that rock kit. All you'd
hear before that was just a rock hit and sand.
It was. That's the farthest out i've seen that water

(06:08):
off that pier. It was a good seventy five or
one hundred yards. And the interesting thing about the video
that I was looking at is it revealed and I
don't think i've just I know, I've never seen it
out that far. It showed a really interesting bottom anomaly

(06:30):
on that west side of the pier, aside going down
towards San Luis Pass. If you're compass challenged, it really
if I were going to fish down there in springtime
when the trout were around, I would I would concentrate
my efforts in that area. It's a pretty good little
gut running through there that kind of funnels a little

(06:52):
bit as it goes farther out, and that would be
something anybody who's a peer fisherman, an inshore peer fishing
them and would certainly want to know about. It's the
same thing in the bays. You could ride around these
bays all day long right now, patiently and slowly and
looking at things you've never seen before, because there's so
much water out, and if you don't take advantage of

(07:15):
that in the summertime, you're missing fish in the spring
and fall, or you don't take advantage of it in
winter when you can see all that stuff, you're missing
out on fish you could fit catching spring and summer
and fall because you won't know where those things are.
In addition to finding little guts, in addition to finding
drop offs that will hold fish when water gets back

(07:37):
on top of them, you're also going to find stuff
that will knock the bottom off your boat if you
hit it in shallow water, and it won't take long
for the tides to come back in and cover up
what's out there. But if you can get out there now,
especially with the technology we have right now, you can
take your GPS system and just drop pins on everything

(07:59):
you think could bust the lower unit off your engine.
Drop pins on every little drop off, Drop everything you
see that's different that will maybe hold fish. That's where
you need to put stuff, or that's where you need
to mark. Get a little coffee. And me, I don't
know why I'm taking this one thing that the doctor

(08:21):
told me to take when my voice fell apart again,
and I get this just gunk in my throat and
we diagnose it now and I'm working on it. But
the thing that she wants me to take to kind
of dry that stuff up really dries it up, and
it dries out my whole everything from my throat to
my stomach. I think, mercy sakes, it's driving me crazy,

(08:43):
is what it's doing. You know what. Let's well, yeah,
we got to get somebody, wake up somebody on a
Sunday morning. I'm a six pack of tickets if you want.
As soon as somebody calls in and wants to play,
that's fine. I'll let it go for a little while.
I'm tempted, attempted to give you a hint, Frankie about
every five minutes off air until somebody calls give you

(09:07):
a total advantage, just a total advantage. Somebody's missing out
on a chance to take six tickets to that fish
and show to the bank right now. I don't let
people lose. That's the interesting part about it. It is
Sunday morning, though, and it's eight ten, and people are
on their way to church. And I respect that. I
know that the audience is a little bit smaller, but

(09:29):
and a lot of you actually are taking advantage of
these last days of the hunting seasons. Holy cow, well
most of you are not listening, Frank, or excuse me.
Scott is in the blind, and I appreciate that he
had a very successful day yesterday. Too good for him
and a client on this deer ranchy hunts. If you're
wondering about how much time you've got left for a

(09:51):
hunting I highlighted the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six
hunting season dates at Parks and Wildlife Department published back
in the fall. You want to hunt, have Alina's in
the North zone wherever that is, that doesn't enuntil February
twenty second. In the South zone, they might as well

(10:12):
just put year round. It says September one, twenty twenty
five to August thirty one, twenty twenty six. That, if
I'm not wrong, is the whole year. Mule deer season's over.
You can forget that pronghorn season's over, you can forget
that squirrel season. You could still go in the East

(10:33):
Texas zone until February twenty second, and then you can
kick off again on May first and hunt till the
thirty first. It's kind of like the late dove season
other open counties, it says you can go till August
thirty first, so knock yourselves out. Whitetail deer. The general

(10:53):
North season ended on the fourth, the South season ends today.
That's why Scott in a blind special late season in
the North zone goes until January eighteenth, that is today,
and then in the South zone it runs the nineteenth
tomorrow through February one. There's also a youth only late

(11:16):
season that ends today and a muzzleloader season that started
back in January fifth. On January fifth and ends today.
Chachia Laka. I know everybody's wanting to hunt those chach
ilakas well. You've got until February twenty second to do
it in the four counties where you can. That's Cameron Handalgo,

(11:36):
Star Willison and that's it. Well, season runs to twenty
eighth on It On on Migratory Birds. Duck seasons are
just we've got one more week, one more week, and
I want to I'm going to bring up again at
some point in this show today what's going on up
north with the cornfields, the flooded cornfields that have just

(12:00):
annihilated our duck hunting down here it's horrible. Oh Aaron, okay,
let's see what's up Aeron. Hey, good morning? How how
he is the voice show Man? The voice is gonna
be It's getting better, believe it or not. It's not
as bad as it was yesterday. It's just it's kind
of just. It's just dry this morning. It's not scratchy,

(12:20):
it's not painful, it's just dry. So you're you're wanting
to play the temperature game. Huh, let's go. That's fine.
I haven't given Frankie any clues, and I trust you.
I know I can trust you to not not fudge. Okay,
So do you want to go first or second?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I'll go first.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Okay, hold on, let me get this page back up
so I can be accurate. Oh and I'll even I'll
even refresh it. Oh yeah, fired up, Frankie. We have
to endure this first.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Are Oh are we.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Already passed that? Okay, that's fine, all right, Umm, you're
gonna go second, Aaron. Frankie. Okay, Frankie, what do you
think is the current low temperature in the state of Texas?

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Man, Well, if it's as cold as it was this
morning here, I can only imagine that the low is
probably pretty low. So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Frankie is an hour long show. That's all we got three?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
What three?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Three degrees? Three? Oh god, Aaron, what do you think
is the low temperatures state of Techs Man?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I know du Montson and dal Harder up there are cold,
but not that cold. I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Sixteen, all right, Frankie, high temperature in the state of Texas.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Okay, let's go with I'll go with forty.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Forty Aaron, high temperature in the state of Texas at
this moment.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm gonna go, Lena, go forty seven, forty seven.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
He says, this was a good battle, much better than
I thought it would be. When it took Frankie fifteen
minutes to figure out there's Houston in Alaska, maybe he
was thinking of that. Okay, So the actual low temperature
in the state of Texas at present is twelve degrees.
Twelve degrees that's up in the Panhandle, and you guys

(14:33):
knew that. So Frankie, you missed that one by nine. Aaron,
you missed it by four. The high temperature in the
state of Texas forty five. Frankie missed it by five
for a total of fourteen. Aaron missed it by two
for a total of six degrees, a single digit win
for Aaron. Sorry, Frankie, Wow, you're doing better, but Aaron hadgerman.

(14:57):
Aaron drives all over the country, he's all he's very
well versed. And how cold it is outside his truck
right here? You got your traveling again, aren't you. Yes, sir,
it could be Norfolk next and then I'm so excited
we are going to work uh in Puget sounds wow wow,

(15:20):
oh wow man. Yeah this time of year.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Ye, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Well with a month, God, you know that's not going
to make any difference.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, well, then a month.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
It'll be in February, I know.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
But I can still get out there and fish. Right,
you have any connections out there? Know anybody up there?
Don't have any suggestions on what I should do.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Let me tell you a secret. There will be There
will be at least two or three Alaskan outfitters at
the fishing show. Okay they can die yet. Yeah, I
met one last year. I can't remember his name. Super
nice people though, and they welcome anybody and everybody who's
willing to come up there in the winter time. I'm sure.
All right, I'm gonna put you on hold Aaron and

(16:04):
let Aaron or let Frankie get all your stuff, and
if you want to call back later in the show
you want to talk some more, I can do that,
but I gotta take a break now. We're running kind
of late stand by. Yeah, I mean, yeah, we'll talk
about that too. All right, I'm gonna put him on
hold frank if he wants to come back and talk
after the break about the Texas. Texas are wide open,
fair game to talk about today. Holy cow, they're playing

(16:27):
for not all the marbles, but a lot of the marbles.
On the way out of this break, real quick, old
Cubanos Cigars. That's my buddy, Manny Lopez. I have gotten
to know Manny. I really enjoy speaking for him. I
can truly say that he's one of the one of
the most straightforward, good people I've met in many, many years.

(16:49):
He's on that list I've got. There's a lot of
people on that list, because I really don't hang around
people who aren't that way. But man, he's always upbeat.
He's always trying to find in some way to make
somebody else enjoy the cigars he builds over there, and
one of only four cigar manufacturing or four dozen cigar
manufacturing places in the entire United States. They're just four dozen,

(17:14):
that's it. Most of them are in Florida. As you
might imagine, he works with the finest tobaccos. Actually introduced
a new Cuban seed tobacco to his lineup, and he
makes more than one hundred and fifty different kinds of
cigars right over there in Texas City too, on Main Street.
That's where the original smoking lounge in factory is where
they churn out hundreds of cigars every day that get

(17:36):
mailed out all over the country. And he's got a
second smoking lounge in League City, more havana style, big
roll up doors on either end, and whatever the temperature
is outside, you regulate the temperature inside by lowering and
raising one of those doors or both of them. Fantastic
brand of cigar. The brand is El Cubano and the

(17:59):
hunt and fifty different kinds can be banded with your
company logo, your charity logo, your team logo. Whatever it
is to make that whole box of cigars or whole
case of cigars special for you and your team, whatever
that may be. They'll also come right to your event

(18:19):
and put up a little awning, put up a little
table and sit there and roll cigars for all your guests,
whatever the occasion may be. Elcoubanosigars dot Com is a website.
Elcoubanocigars dot Com A twenty three on Sports Talk seven
ninety to Doug Pike Show, Thank you for listening this morning.
Certainly do appreciate it. Go Texans. If I normally don't

(18:44):
talk about football on this program, but if you're interested
in rooting on the Texans and giving us your best
Go Texans for the day, that would be perfectly fine, inappropriate.
I don't have any problem with that. I had somebody
ask see me yesterday about Columbia Lakes down there in
Lake Jackson once a very very well respected, very well

(19:07):
known resort, had golf course, had little cottages around the property.
It built out a significant number a significant number of
individual homes. There was a big fishing lake there, maybe
two I think there were two. And anyway, I was

(19:28):
asked to do a little well, I promised to do
a little research and I did, and online everything looks
like it's still there. But then when I got down
to looking at some reviews of people who had stayed there,
the dates they had stayed there twenty fifteen, twenty twelve,

(19:50):
twenty sixteen, but nothing from the twenty twenties even, And
so I don't know. The caller said that it was
in disrepair. It looked like it was just completely shut down.
And that may be the case now, but I'd be
surprised that the internet would be so off. There are
all kinds of real estate listings. I guess the neighborhood

(20:11):
that was built around there, I'm sure is still there,
but I'm I'm hesitant to to say that the golf
course is even still open, or that the well, the
clubhouse and all of that, And if anybody knows, I'd
be curious. I'm I'm not going to lose any sleep
one way or the other, but I would be curious.
Let's go talk to Dave Shall.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
He was up, Dave, Heyvid Oh yeah on the Fission Show. Man.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Man.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
I didn't get to go last year because I was
kind of all stoled up. Yeah, I remember, man, I'm
want to make it. Yeah hey, and you know, uh,
but boy, you know, I love going around there, and
don't be scared to go up there and go sit
and talk to the guys and the hunt oh yeah,
the Fision guys, and they will they will fill your
brain with all kinds of knowledge. If you don't, they'd

(20:58):
be scared to tell you.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
If somebody goes to that show as a novice or
intermediate fisherman, or even a pretty good fisherman and doesn't
number one, sit down, like you're saying, and and really
talk to somebody who fishes professionally. Where you like to fish,
whether it's along the coast, up on a lake, somewhere offshore,
whatever it is, there's going to be somebody who does

(21:21):
that way more often than you do. And if you
don't sit down and talk to them, and if you
don't take notes on what they tell you, you've wasted
half your admission money.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
And also the seminars, man, oh gosh, seminars, and figure
out which ones you wanna uh go, and how you
can just sit back there and kick back and rest
and then get up and walk around some more. And
uh you know, that's that's a that's a that's a
super great show. And oh uh man, I got listen.
Dave holder he's he was a super great guy, was

(21:55):
like riding around on his golf.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Oh yeah out there, yeah, Don well, Don Artindale's taken
right after him. Don's on that on that scooter now too.
Man all the time.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Hey, hey, And and the George R. Brown Convention Center
right there. You know, it's not that bad of a deal.
You can find some pretty decent parking around.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
You really you can take that. You can actually take
the train down there too.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Walk.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's a good point, think about that.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Yeah. So anyway, No other than that, it's it's beautiful
out here. It was cold this morning.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I bet it was about twenty five.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Maybe it was like twenty six. I think of the
sun's coming up. I'm right here. I pulled over here
at FM A thirty. I don't know if you ever
heard of Howard Kravitz Park. It's a walking park right here.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
No, I don't know that.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, well, anyway, it's it's right here when you come
off the freeway of forty five.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Any place that's good to get off, any place that's
good to be out outdoors day is fine. I mean,
I'll go there.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
It's a National Force right here. When I'm looking to
my bike, go Texas, Texas.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Today and when we win.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Let me put it that way, we're playing the Gamble Broncals.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, that'd be kind of nice. I saw that game
last night. That was good, many.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Excellent games, and bore that ding was dynamite. Let me
tell you, yes, sir, yes sir, it was okay, all right, key, yeah,
go appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
What else?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
You go ahead?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
You go?

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Uhh? That other game the San Francisco and the Yeah,
see that was that was Gary's two sons battling out
as a of the offensive coordinators, one on one team
and one on the other.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
That would you like to be around dinner at Christmas
time next year?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh man, maybe be a little rough.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
All right, Dave, Well, I really do appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Thanks for calling. All right, we got to take another
little break here. Let me tell you about air ride bikes.
All the way up west I say, it's not that
far up to Tomball four Corner shopping center, right right
there on the main drag as you will, and inside
his store you will find a fantastic selection of e bikes,

(24:15):
the electric bikes that you see all the time when
you're driving around Houston, out in the suburbs, in parks.
They're everywhere. I had one pass my wife and me
on our walk yesterday afternoon, and I thought, you know,
that'd be a way better way to walk than just anyway.
I was just fantasizing about not having to exercise. But

(24:36):
I need it and I know it, so I do it.
He has smaller, lighter e bikes for just a quick
trip to the drug store to pick up a prescription,
or maybe to the grocery store for one bag of
something that you forgot on your big run. He has
three wheeled e bikes for those of us who are
a little more advanced in age, maybe not as balanced

(24:58):
and comfortable on a two wheel bicycle, that would be
a great thing to have for you. And you get
a little, nice little basket you can put behind there,
and you can get two or three bags of grocery home,
I'm sure, And then all the way up to the
really big, heavy duty bikes that are suitable for getting
you across a deer leaves, getting you up and down
soft sand on the beach all day long, chasing trout,

(25:21):
whatever you're doing along the beach front, or even if
you're an old old school metal detector. I don't know.
You just ride up and down the beach, find a
nice spot where it looks like a lot of people
have been and then just go shirt search and see
what you can find. All kinds of things you can
do on a knee bike, and if you've never ridden one,
he'll even let you try one out in the parking
lot up there. That's what I got to do several

(25:42):
months ago now and October. It was when he came
down and participated in an expo, a senior expo in Stafford.
He came down and exhibited. I was out there broadcasting,
which I'm going to do again in March, by the way,
and then I got to ride that bike afterward, and
it's quite the experience if you've never done it. Air

(26:02):
Ride Bikes dot Com is the website. Go see him
in four Corner Shopping Center up there in tomball a
r r ide air ride bikes dot Com if you
are thinking, hey, I don't mind it being cold, I'll
go play golf today, and then black Horse might be
a good place to go play. Saw some guy when
we were walking yesterday. As I mentioned a minute ago,

(26:23):
there were four people walking toward us. Three of them
dressed like my wife and me, were appropriate for Houstonians
out in a chili weather. And there was one guy
in shorts and a T shirt. That's the kind of
guy you're going to see at black Horse Golf Club today,
the guy who doesn't care about the weather. That and
a bunch of bundled up guys from down here where
it's usually a little bit warmer. Either way, there'll be
plenty of people out there playing this afternoon, and you're

(26:46):
welcome to join them. The North Course still daily fee,
still great shape all the time. A lot of good
people to help you get better if you need it.
At the far end of the range, South Course went
private this year this past year, and the members down
there are seeing and all kinds of improvements made. Now
that that change has been made, it's gonna be a
fantastic layout as it always has been. The general manager,

(27:08):
Craig Craig Hicks, is just making it better. Black Horse
Golf Club. You buy the membership to the South Course,
you get access to the two courses there, the two
courses at Houston Golf Club of Houston and to Blackhawk
Country Club. That's a lot that's five courses for one
at black Horse and as a home course, black Horse

(27:31):
is gonna be black Black black Hawk. Oh, spin it out,
black Horse South Course. There you go. That's really a fun,
challenging track. Black Horse goolf Club dot Com is a

Already on Sports Talk seven to ninety The Doug Pike Show,

(27:51):
Thank you for listening at the Texans. This afternoon, we'll
have good Heavens. We'll have the PGA Tour event down
there in Honolulu, laid into the evening. I'm sure it'll
be live, probably on the Golf Channel. I don't know
if CBS will carry it that late. It's a long
ways down the road. And then later in the show,
i'll tell you about what went on in Dubai today.

(28:15):
Already on a very interesting end of that tournament. I
want to go back to the duck thing. I'm seeing
more and more and there's a guy I'm gonna call
I couldn't get it pulled off today, but there's a
guy I saw a really interesting take that he had
on this on social media. Set to me by faux Pro,

(28:38):
and faux Pro found the guy and got me in touch.
At least I have the contact information now, and he
and I are of like mind on this whole thing,
and something's really got to be done about it. We
have too many people south of the the bread basket

(29:01):
of America, the corn belt, who have for centuries, well,
not the waterfowl hunting business hadn't been around for centuries,
but the Central and Mississippi flyways certainly have been around
and been used by those ducks for eons. It seems
like I don't know how long ducks have been around,

(29:22):
but that's what they've been doing, been flying the same route,
and hunters in more modern times have taken advantage of
those routes and gotten to hunt those ducks and enjoyed
shooting them, enjoyed eating them, And all of a sudden,
people in the middle of the country found a little
bitty loophole in a law that allows them to basically

(29:43):
do stuff that if we did down here, the Feds
would throw us in jail and lock and throw away
the key. They're flooding thousands of acres of corn not
harvested at all. From what I'm reading and hearing and
then using that for sport hunting. But the problem, and

(30:06):
number one, that there's just no reason for that. They
don't need to do that. They have a season just
like we do. But what they've done is virtually destroyed
our duck hunting down here. It's not as good as
it used to be, not by a long shot. And
anybody who hunts down here will tell you that I'm
not throwing my stuff away. I'm not throwing my decoys away,

(30:28):
my shotguns, any of that stuff. I'll still go hunt ducks,
even knowing that there aren't going to be as many
as there used to be, because that's just I just
enjoy hunting and being out with my friends and doing that.
But for the people who rely on those ducks, the
outfitters down here, the hunting guides and whatnot, the tackle

(30:48):
or the shotgun people, the decoy people, all of that
they got to make a living too. And when almost
all the ducks are being held up halfway down the flyway,
not only does it ruin hunting down here to a
great degree, it also sets those birds up for a really,

(31:09):
really bad die off from disease. It's already happened down
here with the geese. The avian coller of years ago
already happened. Thousands upon thousands of geese on the west
side of town, some even on the east side of
town wiped out in a matter of weeks because the
roost ponds get infected with that virus I believe it is.

(31:32):
I don't think it's back to you. I think it's
a viral. Whatever it is, it kills them. It kills
them really fast. And the only cure I've talked about
this before, even just past weekend, The only remedy for
this is to completely empty the roost ponds, train them
down to dirt, get all of whatever death is in

(31:53):
there out of there, let the sun bake it for
a little while, and then refill it with fresh water.
And in the meantime, all those birds that were concentrated
here go somewhere else and do their thing, and then
once the roots are fresh again, they'll come back. But
we lost a lot of birds back then, and the

(32:14):
only reason that happened was actually because there were just
so many snow geese back then. They were shoulder to
shoulder on huge roost ponds. They were shoulder to shoulder
and feeding field sometimes as many as one hundred two
hundred thousand birds in one field or on one roost,
all huddled real close together, and you got a half

(32:36):
a dozen sick ones in there with this highly, very
easily spread disease, and what happened happened, and we lost
a whole lot of geese and other birds too. They
all get hammered by it if they get anywhere close
to it. So this is not going to go away.

(32:58):
It's not going to be something that we think, oh,
we should have done something about that. We're not gonna
be looking at that. This is gonna I think there's
gonna be a lot more attention paid to this. Somebody
that Senator John Kennedy over in Louisiana, uh, said he
was gonna be working on it, and somebody sent me
an email yesterday. I mentioned that during the week, and
somebody sent me an email and said, Oh, he just

(33:20):
all talk, he's not gonna do anything about that. I
don't believe that's true. I think he is interested. And
I think the more that we talk about it, and
the more people talk about it, uh, the better off
we're all gonna be. And there's gonna be some there's
gonna be some upset people in this in this arena,
uh up, especially in the Midwest, when they realize that

(33:45):
they've got to stop this, which they really do. I
need to take a break. Stand by one second, and
I've got a little little dry spot in my throat.
I gotta get it. I'm gonna make it through, don't
you worry. I'll have at least this much voice all
the way through. But then I'm gonna go take a nap.

(34:07):
Houston Gold Exchange doctor bradshch Weiss yesterday and he wants
to really emphasize the value of an ounce of gold
right now. It's over forty six hundred dollars. Think about
that one ounce of gold. If you've got any kind
of scrap gold around the house, your old disco chains,
some old jewelry that nobody wears anymore. They don't like

(34:29):
it anymore, they're not gonna wear it ever again. That
that quite literally is worth its weight in gold, and
gold is worth forty six hundred dollars an ounce. And
you probably paid when you bought those pieces whatever they wear,
a chain, a ring, a bracelet, whatever. If you're anywhere
near my age, you might have paid three four or

(34:50):
five hundred dollars an ounce for it. Now it's worth
forty six hundred. That'll buy you a lot of nice things.
It certainly will each ras in gold and silver. He's
got beautiful things in the in the store there coins.
Bring them over to him, all the silver coins from

(35:11):
pre sixty five. Bring them over to him and let
him valuate evaluate them for you. Goal is also at
a very high price, or silver also at a very
high price now precious metals good investments. Good time to
sell some gold, good time to buy some other things.
He'll tell you all about it. All you have to
do is call his cell phone. He called me yesterday,

(35:31):
he said, emphasize it. Give him my cell phone. He's
at Darry Ashford and West Timer, Houston. Gooldexchange dot com
call him two eight one eight five one three nine

play golf, you want to feel better about your golf
game without even having to having to take a lesson,

(35:54):
just deck yourself out in Kobe Stevens' golf apparel. Kobe
Stevens has been around several years now, are really making
a strong push into this space because they have quality products.
I have several of their shirts. I have their shorts
and a couple of caps. And when I wear that
which is almost every time I play on Mondays with

(36:16):
the old guys, when I wear that gear, I feel better,
I really do about my game. It makes me want
to shine my shoes and look even better. Now, it's
not gonna fix your golf game, but it's gonna fix
your yourris.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Riz?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Is that right, Frankie, The RIZ game. That's what you're
looking for. Men's sizes up to four X. They've got
women's apparel as well. They've got kids sizes. You're gonna
look good and you'll be supporting one of the most
generous people to our community you'll ever find. Kobe's always
out raising money for charities, raising money for good causes

(36:50):
at tournaments. I see him all over the place, and
half the time when I ask him if he can
go play golf, Nah, I've got a tournament that day.
I gotta go to great guy, great company, great clothes.
Kobe Stevens dot com, co b y S G e
v e NS dot com eight forty nine on Sports
seven nine at the Doug Pike Show. Thank you for listening.
I certainly do appreciate it. Get my little notes over

(37:13):
here back in front of me. I just read something
that got me a little shaken, but I'm unshaken now
for sure. Mojo weighed in. I wondered if it had
gotten into the mid twenties or so up there in
Montgomery County. But no, uh, thirty one at present in
Montgomery County at Mojo's house wherever, that is thirty two

(37:37):
at four o'clock in the morning. I don't know why
Mojo was awake at four o'clock in the morning, but
it was thirty two then, and it did feel cooler
when I left the house this morning. I noticed that
when we were doing the Texas Temperature game, I was
looking at the Great State of Texas and all these
there are probably one hundred temperatures listed on that map,
and they change as the temperature change, and there were

(37:59):
little isolated pockets of colder air than the air all
around them. And I don't know what caused that. I
don't know how accurate that was, but it was really
interesting and I'm sure it's not anything to do with
with it feels like temperature chill factor, wind chill factor,

(38:20):
all that stuff. If it's twenty four degrees, it feels
like twenty four degrees and windy. I don't know. If
it's thirty two degrees or thirty three degrees, and there's
a north wind blowing at fifteen miles an hour, they
say it feels like twenty or whatever. But so long

(38:40):
as that temperature is thirty three degrees, I don't care
what the wind chill factor is. That water's not going
to freeze, am I right, Frankie, is that physics? I
think that's physics. Pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I don't
care what the wind chill factor is. Now it may,
I guess to our bodies if they were just looking
for something else to fill time on the weather forecast,

(39:04):
I suppose somebody somewhere along the way said, yeah, guy,
it's only it's only forty degrees, but it sure feels cooler. Well, yeah,
let's come up with a way to measure that. And
so they take the velocity of the wind and the
temperature of the air, and I'm sure there's some simple,
simple formula they use to come up with it. But

(39:26):
I just want to know what the low temperature is
going to be this time of year, especially if I'm
going waterfowl hunting. I want to know how much wind
there's going to be. I don't need to know what
the actual wind child well that's almost oxymoronic, the actual
wind child factor. I don't know what number they want.
I don't care what number they want to put on it.
Just tell me about the wind, tell me about the humidity.

(39:49):
I want to know about that, And tell me about
the temperature. And I can I know how to dress myself.
I'm a grown man waterfowl hunter. Seven one three two
one two five seven ninety Email Doug Pike at iHeartMedia Dot. Come,
I am going to There's a question I wanted to
ask yesterday and I didn't get around to it. But

(40:10):
I wonder, and may I may just dabble in this
for a week or two and see if anybody wants
to talk about it. But I wonder just how important
in this day and age of instant gratification, how important
in a in a hunting situation or a fishing situation
to you is patience? How long are you willing to

(40:33):
sit there just see if something happens before you want
to move? Now, when I'm fishing the little lakes that
I fish like at the golf course. I don't get
a bite in four or five casts. I'll move and
not far. I'll just take ten steps down the bank
or something like that. But I'm not gonna I'm not

(40:53):
gonna pack up and leave and go to a lake
some some other neighborhood I used to have. I could
stand in one spot forever, and I got a friend
of mine a fish with out there. Some He'll stand
in one spot for an hour. If I drove away
from him and went and fished four places and came back,

(41:15):
he'd be standing right in the same spot, convinced that
a fish is coming. And I've been proven wrong in
my thinking and right by his thinking several times out
there where He's just stood in that same spot, the
same spot, making basically the same cast, and then bam,
he's got a fish on. I'm throwing all over the leg,

(41:36):
I'm moving, I'm shaking, I'm driving and can't get bit,
and he just stands there and waits. He's in a
good spot. That makes a difference. You can't catch fish
if there's no fish to catch. But a lot of
times I think younger fishermen especially get impatient and they'll
run away from a place where the bike just has

(42:00):
it started yet. And that's where that's where experience comes in.
And I don't know that there was anybody better twenty
thirty years ago on Trinity Bay in knowing that yes,
there were fish there, and yes they're gonna bite in
a little while. Then blame fire Mood, that guy that

(42:20):
was who he was and what he stood for. You
get on the boat with him and you're standing there
and you haven't caught a fish in thirty minutes and
you want to move. Forty five minutes or an hour
and you want to move, he'd just say, no, they're
they're gonna bite, and just a little bit. It's they're here.
They're just not biting, but they're gonna bite, and darned

(42:41):
if they wouldn't. I can't remember any trip with him
where he said they were gonna be somewhere if we
just wait them out, and that they didn't show up,
we might have had to wait for a little while.
And every now and then I just say, okay, man,
I'm gonna change Lewis fort teen times like I always
used to do with them, and I'm gonna I'm gonna

(43:03):
throw out the back of the boat, at the front
of the boat, both sides of the boat, and and
he's just standing there, just Daddy, chunking and waiting, and
then all of a sudden, you can't you can't get
a lure back to the boat without it being eaten. Fascinating.
He just it's like a sixth sense. It really is
that some people have it and some don't. I know

(43:24):
some fishermen who could fish in a in a tea
cup and catch a fish out of a tea cup
and somebody's kitchen. And I know guys who could go
to a go to a hatchery and drop a piece
of cheese in one of the trout grow out ponds
and stay there for days and never catch anything. It happens,

(43:46):
all right, But yeah, I wanna kind of I'm kind
of curious to see where the patience level is among
some of my listeners. If you want to contribute, great
email or a phone call, either one's fine. I'm just curious.
It's one of my little, my little purse surveys that
I do, kind of like my h the one I'm
doing on whether people will smile and respond if you

(44:07):
smile them and say something to them first, good morning,
good afternoon, how you doing? Just passing in a grocery
store on the walking trail that my wife and I
go on. I do that with almost everybody I see.
I look at their eyes. Some people won't even look
into your eyes. I don't know why. Maybe they think
I could hypnotize them or something. But I'll look at them,

(44:30):
and if they do make eye contact, I'll just either
if it's a guy, I'll give kind of that guy
nod and you know, the flip of the you know,
the fingers up hey, ma'am, kind of like if you
have your hand on the steering wheel when you're driving
and somebody comes past you in the neighborhood, you just
pick your fingers up to say hello. Well, that's what
I do with guys, and most of them, to my delight,

(44:53):
almost I'd say probably ninety five percent of the people.
Doesn't matter who they are, what they look like. Any
of that five percent of the people that I acknowledge first,
acknowledge back and a friendly, a smile, whatever. Some of
them just try to either not look at you at all,
or turn the other way, or they go out of

(45:14):
their way to be unfriendly, and I just okay, there's
got to be some of those out there. Never had
fishermen do that to me, Never had hunters do that
to me. In circles that outdoors, people just tend to
know better than to think that they they're the best,
coolest thing in the world. They know there's bigger things

(45:35):
out there than them. America Shooting Centers, Speaking of big things,
largest non military shooting facility in the entire state of Texas,
been out there for a better part of thirty years,
owned now by a guy named Edarighi, who has made
it one of the finest shooting facilities anywhere. Three sporting
place courses, ten trap and skeet fields, five stands setups

(45:55):
over the property in several places. Beginners wing shooting area
n pistol from five yards to six hundred yards. A
pop up silhouette range for rimfire shooters. That's where you
take the kids when they like to shoot and you
don't want to be shooting up big, fancy, expensive ammo.
Take them over there. They'll have a blast, great instruction
in all the shooting disciplines. Air open five days a week,

(46:19):
that would be Wednesday through Sunday, they're closed Monday and Tuesday.
If memory serves me correctly, and and if you're listening
and I'm wrong, let me know. Everybody needs a day off.
Down then on West tim Or Parkway between Katie and
Highway six, very easy to find. You'll see a building
up on a little hill that was raised because it
is in that big flood zone area there, the Attics reservoir.

(46:42):
Everything's up so it'll be there when the water goes down.
If we get another big old rain event right now'd
be a great time to get out there. It's going
to be pretty out there today. American Shooting Centers dot
com is a website. American Shooting Centers dot com. All right,
welcome back Dunpike Show on Sports Talk seven nine. Thanks
for listening. Certainly do appreciate it that all kinds of

(47:03):
stuff going on. I got a picture, actually three pictures
a little while ago, and I want to mention him now.
I just I got off track and didn't get to him.
From a guy named hig He's down on Mustang Island
and guess what he's catching. Pompino in the surf. I'm
not surprised, but that's one species of fish that for

(47:24):
whatever reasons, Texans don't really target that much, not many
Texans anyway. Higgs down there, he's got plenty for dinner.
And they're nice sized pompino too. They're not hard to catch, really,
he said. He was using what did it say here,
caught on Wednesday, frozen shrimp and fish gum for bait

(47:45):
and go Texans, he added, for good measure. Yeah, that's
a very tasty fish. They can take the temperature changes
a little bit, and in season you can catch them
on all kinds of things. Most people try to use
sand flea. Live samples are great, but those pompino will
eat all kinds of stuff, fresh, dead shrimp, frozen shrimp. Uh.

(48:08):
And there's something you can just stand on the dry
sand and cast to and when the water is really low,
you can walk out farther and cast into deeper water
where you might tend to catch a little bit bigger pompino.
You might catch red fish, you might catch trout. Even
this time of year. You might be surprised if you
would fish the south the south coast of Texas in

(48:30):
this time of the year kind of the same way
you would up here in spring. Let's go catch a
couple of phone calls. We'll tee it up first with
Rick and then we'll get to Glen. Rick.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
What's up, man, Well, you were asking the question about
being patient, yeah, or fishing. I'm not a very patient
person at all. I'm really not.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I understand.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
However, I can be really patient.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
Yeah, And I'll give you a quick little little bill
to tie into your your morning here that you've already
talked about. There was a place that I had listed
it for sale and it had about a half a
dozen ponds on it and they were real, real fishy looking.
I never seen anybody fishing and I never fished. I

(49:21):
never had fish them, but they were.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Was my kind of ponds.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Because they were they were weren't real big. There was
a bunch of them. But I'm a sucker for lily
pads over and they were lily pad mate. They were
shallow and uh, that's my deal. And you know how
I am about nick green crawl crawl lizards six to
eight inches.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
I loved sewing them across the lily pads, letting them
drop and wait. Anyway, so we it was the last
minute deal before I know it, and Nurse ten of
us wow, and I mean, this is like an hour notice,
you know. A couple of their friends, a couple of
my friends and.

Speaker 7 (50:05):
People.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
We all wound up there. And so I walked around
to this pond. I had drove by it several times
in my buggy and I just liked the look of it,
this one spot just looking right anyway. I walk over
there and I started casting, and they spread it out
and they started jumping around and they're they're catching fish.

(50:29):
I'm not catching fish. They're fishing faster, and they're moving
and they're going, hey, Rick, come on, you need to
come over here, Dad, over here, over here, over here,
And I can hear them can catch a fish noise,
and then I can hear the water and I can
look over and they be bowled up, and they start
making jokes about it because they're standing in one spot.

(50:51):
I'm I'm kind of like blame and either there or
now they come and it's too good of water. So
I don't know how many catts I made. I know
I made a hundred and led it right into the
same spot right there, a foot and a half to
no more than two foot from my state booth. Wow,

(51:12):
standing on the bank. And finally I'm reeling and I
had that strong lizard within about two foot. I'm piecing
to pull it out of the water and catch and
there's a my largest bass, Wow, that I've ever caught.
Caught that day, I just missed my highway exit. Talking

(51:35):
to anyway, there's a U turn somewhere. Maybe ballast cut
the long story short. That fish was less than his
length from the bank from where my foot was. Wow,
I'm joking. And he was my firston on base eight

(51:57):
fourteen on a little cheapy scale.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
But he that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
That's what the scales said. Boy, I believe it. I
get a kick out of because that's it's might have
been sitting there right there the whole time I had.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Been vished probably or might it might have been kind Yeah,
who knows, You'll never know. But you caught him her,
you caught her. Good for you, man. Anyways, Well done, Rick.
All right, buddy, say travels, go find out, Yeah, go
find your exit. I'll see you. Let me get Glenn
up here, Glenn. What's up man?

Speaker 8 (52:35):
Hey doug Hey, enjoy your show.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
A couple of things. Uh.

Speaker 8 (52:39):
First, First off, go Texans, yes, sir, start my comments there.
That second is it was twenty one degrees at seven
o'clock in Longview Tech. Whoa, oh boy, yeah, I'm heading
back to Houston now. But you got me thinking about
you know you you said, walking around or driving to
your you raise your fingers up back to you. Reminded

(53:04):
me as a kid, long before cell phones. I'd be driving,
we be driving out in the country with my dad
and he'd waved and people coming at him. But you
know a lot of the a lot of those country
roads as farmers pull over on the shoulder.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
And let you go by. Yeah, his old timers.

Speaker 8 (53:20):
And he'd always waved to him and go, what are
you waiting for some of this nice of them to
you know, pull over, yeah for me, and said, well
it's good.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
He said.

Speaker 8 (53:28):
Also think about this, he said, if you you know,
we're driving up here, we just passed that guy maybe
five months back we get a flat, long before a
cell phone. He said, if that guy remembers you waving
at him, he'll stop and help you flatter or give
you a left or whatever. So it just remembered reminded

(53:48):
me of you know, hanging out with my dad and
doing that. And I've done that every since.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's always.

Speaker 8 (53:54):
Waving at people and trying to be courteous. But yeah,
you reminded me of that.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Thanks. Yeah, that's such a good thing to remember it too,
because out in the middle of nowhere, even if you've
got your phone, there may not be service, and even
if you can call somebody, it might take them two
or three hours to get to you, Whereas if you
just out at casually and randomly waved at somebody, uh

(54:20):
who knows. Yeah, you know, if somebody had done that
for me, I'd probably just slow down at least and
ask them if they're okay.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
Heck, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Yeah, man, it's great to hear from you. Thanks for it.
If you see me on the road, just get get
those two fingers off the steering wheel. I'll do the
same for you.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Man.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
All right, thank you, Glenn, see you man. Yeah, that's
something that it's kind of old school Texas and sometimes
people do it, sometimes they don't. I do it even
in my neighborhood, just a friendly gesture. You know, people
I've never met. It's a pretty good sized neighborhood and
there's a lot of people in there I've never met
and probably never will. But but I'm still going to

(55:00):
acknowledge them. That's my social experiment I'm doing for fifty
plus every time when my wife and I are walking
or any of that. Like I was saying before, if
we if we come across somebody on the trail, whether
they're on a bicycle or whether they're walking or whatever,
I just I'll nod and recognize them. Some some people
will look, some people won't, some people will acknowledge. A

(55:24):
few people won't. But I still and I have I
don't have a clicker or anything that I'm putting the
yes's and no's on. But what I what I guess
is that it's about about ninety five percent positive response
from that. And I live in one of the most

(55:44):
diverse communities in counties in the entire country. So it's
not just it's not anything to do with that. There's
everybody there. There's people from everywhere there, and they've been
here long enough to be texting enough to just know
it's okay to say hello to somebody, not like up
in New York. A friend of mine went to New

(56:05):
York while back and came back and just told me,
it's all true. Those people don't talk to you. They
don't want to talk to you. They don't want to
acknowledge you. They're just they got their heads down in
their phones and they're walking, and they're going where they're going,
and there's no high How you doing, how are you today?
And it's kind of a nice day. They don't want
to hear any of that. They just want to get
where they're going. I much prefer the way it is

(56:29):
down here, I really do. I always will. Gotta take
another little break here on the way out. I'm gonna rune.
You're speaking of friendly people. This is one of the
nicest guys I know. Brashwis from Houston Gold Exchange. You
and I had that conversation yesterday. I talked about it
a little bit earlier about how how good a time
this will be in real time now. Who knows what

(56:51):
it'll do next week, next month, anything, But if you've
got any scrap gold, any scrap silver stuff that you're
just not using, never gonna use again, Prices on precious
metals are really really high right now, especially gold cold
is that forty six hundred dollars in change an ounce?
Think about that. You got some one out sinkers in

(57:12):
your garage, Go pick one of those up. And feel
how light that is. It doesn't take much to make
an ounce of gold if you've got some old scrap
pieces or whatever. And the silver is the same way.
It doesn't take much to make an ounce of silver.
It's not worth gold, not what wor worth what gold is,
but it's still far more valuable than it used to be.
And he'll he'll work with you on coins, He'll work
with you on jewelry, anything that you would be willing

(57:36):
to exchange for a nice fat check. And from one
thousand dollars to a million dollars. He told me that yesterday.
He said, somebody's got a really big sale they want
to make. I can handle that. I'll take care of
that for him. He's at darry Ashford and West Timer,
been there for thirty something years. You can call him.
He welcomed the call, and now he may call you back.

(57:59):
He may pick up the and be at the beach house.
You may pick up the phone and be at the shop.
Who knows. But wherever he is, he'll start that conversation
you two want to have about getting you a whole
lot of money for your gold or silver, whatever it is.

a midday period sometime this week where you might go
over to berry Hill down there on the Southwest Freeway
at the Sugar Creek exit inbound side. They closed on Sunday,
so don't be planning on going over there to watch
the game this afternoon or or whatever. You gotta wait

(58:43):
till tomorrow, but it'll be worth the wait no matter.
When you get to berry Hill in sugar Land, they
got a great tex Mex lineup that's been it's been.
It's been fine tuned, let's call it, for the last
ten plus years by the two primary cooks in that kitchen.
They've both been there that long, and actually longer for

(59:04):
one of them, and they have put their own little
Berryhill twist on the traditional things, the burritos, the tacos,
the enchiladas, and just all sorts of really really good dishes.
It's a very casual family style dining too. There's tables
and boosts on the left, sports bar on the right.
Outdoor dining might be a little chilly for that, maybe

(59:26):
tomorrow morning, but by the afternoon it's going to be
really good for a lunch or dinner. Berryhillsugarland dot Com
is the website, family owned and operated for more than
thirty years. They do catering all over town. They bring
meals to us here at iHeart regularly, and usually by
the end of this bunch getting at it, about the

came in Berryhillsugarland dot com. All right, welcome back, thanks
for listening. I do appreciate that greatly. I'll tell you what, Frankie,
you cover that and then for now and then I'll
come back to him for just a second. But I'm

(01:00:08):
gonna go to golf for just a couple of minutes
because I can't stand it. You take care of take
care of that call, like, yeah, there you go. Okay,

not familiar with it. And then he's got four challenge

where they are. PGA is going to wrap up in Honolulu,
the seedon in Central time, even after we find out
whether the Texans beat the Patriots. I hope they do.

(01:01:37):
It's gonna be a good game, and tend to watch,
but have one errand I've got to run somewhere around halftime,
and I think what I'm gonna try to do is
get that booted up. Get that a little earlier in
the day. I got to take my son to go

those tuxedo events that we'll have to deal with. UH

Email me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. One person,
Rick Talk called to talk about patience. Nobody else had
the patience to wait, and they wouldn't even have to wait. Frankie,
that's the iron here. I don't. I don't keep people
on the line any longer than it takes to to
get to them. And I don't I don't want to

(01:02:21):
cut If I'm already on the phone with somebody, I
try not to cut them short. And if I'm not,
I'm I'm going straight to those phone calls as fast
as I can. I like that. I enjoy talking to
you guys. I always have and I always will. It
makes it very interesting and I learn a lot from
every one of you. I truly do. Speaking of Frankie,

(01:02:42):
when we go to break in a little while, I'm
gonna get you to call a friend of mine east
of here and see if I can get him on
the phone, just to see what's been going on. We
hear a lot of what goes on from Galveston Bay South,
But my buddy's over to the east, and I think
he'll he'll have something to talk up. Oh, where do
I want to go?

Speaker 8 (01:03:02):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Where are my notes? My notes? Let me turn this
piece over. Where is that other piece of paper? No,
that's not it. Huh missing a piece of paper? It
can't be that important. And let's go to I want
to go to patients in a hunting blind. And this
is something I learned back when I was at the

(01:03:24):
paper and doing a lot of deer hunting, and it
ended up paying off very well for me. There were days,
especially if you're hunting a ranch that gets hunted a lot,
and you've got the opportunity and just a private ranch
where you and your buddies have been invited. It's not
necessarily a ranch where you're paying for your buck. It's

(01:03:47):
just someplace one of your really good friends has and
has embodied you there. And the routine every day at
that ranch, i'm sure is like on most ranches is
around the same time. Everybody gets up, around the same time.
Everybody gets in the trucks, around the same time. Everybody
goes to a stand and gets out, gets up in

(01:04:08):
the blind around the same time. A few hours later,
they get picked up and dragged back to the camp.
My suggestion to you, if you have the patience, is this,
go ahead and get dropped off at the same time
everybody else does. But when it's time to be picked up,

(01:04:29):
have them come by. Stop the truck, get out of
the truck, walk to the blind, walk back to the truck,
get in the truck, close two doors, or close the
driver's door twice if they want to, and then drive
away and leave you in the in the stand. You

(01:04:49):
got a cat, and you're gonna need snacks, You're gonna
need water, you're gonna need whatever you need to pass
a little more time. But if you do that, you'll learn,
like I did on several different ranches, that those bigger bucks,
the older bucks, pattern everybody who's coming in and going out,

(01:05:10):
and they know that during the middle of the day,
most of the people on the ranch are sleeping, they're
taking a nap. They got up really really early. They
had a good breakfast. They sat in the stand. Some
of them fell asleep in the stand. They get picked up,
they get taken back to camp around nine thirty ten o'clock.
They go in there, they eat lunch, and they go

(01:05:31):
bunk up for a little while. It's been a few
hours sleeping. Then they go back out at three. Now,
maybe if you're if you're tired of sitting there by
three o'clock and nothing happened, then go ahead and hop
back in when they come back by again at the
deer would think to let somebody off to go hunting again,
and maybe put somebody in that stand if they want
to sit there. But you'll be surprised how many deer

(01:05:55):
you'll see, how much movement you'll see in a deer
stand if you're there when deer don't think you're there.
That's the whole game that hunters and big bucks play
is who's got the most experienced and who's got the
most patience. Because those big bucks will stay in cover.

(01:06:15):
They'll stay back until they hear that leaving bell if
you will that signal that the closing of a door,
even if it's quiet, even if you're good at staying
kind of quiet, those big Bucks will wait for that
to start moving around again. It's it's really fascinating how
smart those animals are and how well conditioned they are

(01:06:37):
to the traffic around the ranch. It really is cool
to see that. And I've been on places where the
som Burrito, for example, where you have to be absolutely
dead silent. Back when I was hunting down there with
Bill Carter, the man who found it, made that ranch
what it was at the premiere white Tail ranch with
nothing but Texas genetics. He did that. Nobody have run

(01:07:02):
with any lights on when you're going to your stands.
You just had to sit there and wait till it
got till your eyes adjusted and you could actually see that.
And the roads were fairly easy to follow. It wasn't
like you were going to slip off a cliff either,
but you had to just go patiently through that process
and get where you were going without using any lights
at all. And that was that was a hard and

(01:07:25):
fast rule. Now if it was super for some if
there was an emergency, shirt flip them on and let's go.
But that was an interesting way to get to and
from places. The only time. The only two people those
deer saw typically were the two who started at one
end of the ranch in the other and worked their
way to through each feeder on that big main road

(01:07:45):
that was hunted commercially and filled those feeders. Anybody else
if you wanted to ride and take pictures, you had
to sit in the back of the food truck, the
feed truck with full face camo on, with gloves on everything,
and just when you were doing what you were doing.
I used to shoot a lot of pictures out of there,
and you just had to move very slowly and deliberately.

(01:08:08):
It was fascinating, It really was. All right, we gotta
to tell you another break. Holy cow yapping about being patient.
I've run through an tire segment. Belleville Meat Market out
there on Highway thirty six, about fifteen minutes north Sealy,
fifteen minutes south of Hempstead. Smoke sausage samples available every day,
that full menu of delicious pecan smoke barbecue Monday through

(01:08:53):
They've got all the grabbing ghost snacks, the beef jerky,
turkey jerky, and of course wild game proces. Seat processing
year round, which is just running full boar this time
of year. You go in there, somebody comes running out
with a cart to get the meat out of your
truck or suv or minivan, whatever it is. Then you

(01:09:14):
walk into a different door from where your meat went,
and you get handed a big old menu of selections
to make to get your dear process just exactly how
you want it. Fifteen minutes north of sea Ley, fifteen
minutes south of Hempstead on Highway thirty six. The only
meat marketing processor that I indoors. Belleville MeetMarket dot Com
is a website Belleville MeetMarket dot Com. Shooter's Corner Parver

(01:09:36):
Highway at twenty nine Street, Texas City ro owned and
operated by the same two guys since well since the
second one the son of the father and son team
was old enough to start working in there. That's Jerry
and JTK, two of the best gunsmith's I know, two
of the best North American big game guides I know,
and I've known them both for many, many, many years.

(01:09:57):
It's an old school gun store. If you don't know
what one of those smells like, go over there, walk
through the door and just take a big, deep breath.
That's what a gun's for supposed to smell like. If
you go into a store and it smells like, I
don't know, it smells like tennis, rackets or golf clubs

(01:10:18):
or snorkels or any of that, not really an old
school gun store. It might be a store that has some,
but it's not an old school gun store like Shooter's
Corner been there forever. They've got guns Ammo, They've got
reloading supplies and optics and camel, all good quality stuff
at really really good prices. I can't emphasize enough how

(01:10:41):
good they are at their gunsmithing too. Dshooters CORNERTX dot
com is a website. If you own a badge for
a living, you get a discount, which I think is
dog one cool. D Shooters Corner TX dot com. All right,
welcome back, Thanks for listening, certainly, do appreciate it. You
got a guy on the phone. I'm glad I got
him too, because I didn't talked to him in a while.
And I want to find out what's going on over
at Sabine Lake. And that one and only guy I

(01:11:03):
want to talk to over there is Chuck Huzzle.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Chuck.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (01:11:07):
Man?

Speaker 7 (01:11:08):
How are you?

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
My friend?

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
I am fantastic, couldn't be better, couldn't be better, except
we've got a little scratchy throat. It's it's not even scratchy.
I'm just kind of little. I'm horse. I've been joking.
This is the second time this has happened in about
like two and a half three months. I identify as
a pony because I'm a little horse. You just took
that one away in case you need it sometime. So, ma'am,

(01:11:30):
what is going on over at Sabine Now?

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
I don't do that where we Actually, you know, twenty
twenty five was pretty good to us many for the
for the longest, you know, the kind of the battle
crowd was the trout or too short and the red
Fisher too big. Now we we finally, you know, got
to where we had a pretty solid, pretty solid you

(01:11:55):
know pattern on some some of those you know, both
upper slot seventeen to twenty craft. It was great. It
was great to see some of those. And actually you know,
had some fish you know in the five six pound
class this year, which man a couple of years, a
couple of years ago, I didn't think we'd ever see
those again. So uh, we can. We don't have anything crazy,

(01:12:16):
you know, between now and the in the spring you
know happened I think twenty twenty six. Could you know,
we may start seeing some of those better fish, you know,
like we used to in the heyday. So it would
be nice have the.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
People on your side over there, have many of them
started driving across the bridge and you taking advantage of
Louisiana limits.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
And they've been doing that forever.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Well, yeah, I have.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
I've railed against that as you know, and even and
and I'll say you know this, that's just kind of
one of those deals. You know, everybody says you got
to heal, you're gonna down, and that's kind of mine.
I mean when we go to even when we go
across and we go fish calcusuit, we still keep Texas
fish good for you. That's just that's just kind of
the way my that's just kind of the way my
boat works. Yeah, and you know it's bought us a

(01:13:02):
little bit of credibility with you know, some of those
guys over there whenever they see you, you know, catch
a good fish and you turn it loose. Yeah, you
know there's those guys that are you know of that mentality.
So yeah, it's a it's a tough deal. I wish
that there was something that we could do similar to
like to lead a meaning or text omr those border
places that you could at least and I get it,

(01:13:26):
you know, there are people that are just totally numbers driven. Sure,
and you know you can you can drive a little
ways and and and it's perfectly legal or whatever. But boy,
it's just a it's just the last thing that we need,
you know, whenever we're and just in mopping and when
we've got our kind of getting our feet back underneath us,
that you know, come over here and and just you know,

(01:13:46):
keep a whole pile of fish whenever. You know, it
would be nice if we didn't for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
What what is their limit over there now?

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Uh, it's uh, it's fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Minimum size and.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
There yeah, they're they're they've actually you know, there for
a little while they had done they had done the
deal where they made Calcasheu and one more going east,
the like they had designated it as a trophy as
a trophy lake, and that that didn't didn't work out,

(01:14:22):
you know, some of those people, you know, they made
it where you can only keep like two fish over
twenty five. Yeah, you know, it just seemed like really,
you know, really, uh, at least it was a step
in the right direction, you know for those guys. I mean,
they're they're a thirteen inch they're a thirteen inch minimum,
but you can still keep you can still keep fifteen fish.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
Yeah, that's just it's amazing to me that we can
be we just we share this border and on one
side you can keep three within a little slot, and
on the other side you can keep fifteen five times
as many fish. And they don't understand and why their
fishery isn't really doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Well, yeah, it's the same thing, you know. I mean
they keep more riffist and you know, the flounders feel
and all that, and it's just a I mean, if
it just split the difference, you know, make it to
where it's not quite as appealing, you know, for people
to make the drive.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
And go and do that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Yeah, it's uh, you know, you're you know, you can't
Dicky Cober told me a long time ago, man said,
you can't legislate morals, and it's just you know, that's yeah.
I mean, it's just that's just the way it is.
I mean it's not they're they're within their right and
it's leading everyone, whether you like it or whether you don't.
I mean, it's just one of those things. But man,
it just, uh, that was I was so petrified and

(01:15:39):
we saw we see it from time to time. You know,
it's like everybody in the world who lives east of us,
toward h Town or whatever that's got a that owns
the you know, piece of fiberglass or man, they'll take
off and that that whole Louisiana side will just be
littered with Texas you know, Texas truck trailers. And it's
just just a tough deal, tough deal to watch.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
How much fishing traffic do y'all have over there now
compared to when you and I were fishing A lot?

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
It comes and goes in spurts. I don't think we have.
I don't think we have nearly as much traffic. I think,
you know, there's a lot to do kind of with
the economy and you know, gases like that, both wing income.
But I mean when it's you know, kind of cherry
picking or whatever, you'll see that. You'll see the crowds,
but for the most part, and they really haven't had
a reason to fish here because it's just it's been tough,

(01:16:27):
you know that. Yeah, in all honesty, I mean we've
been We've been fortunate enough to you know, be able
to over the years have some tried and true places
where we were still able to catch some fish. And
I spent way more time this year down at the
Jetty's and on the beach front than I can do.
But but you know, you got to go down there
and you got to do that, you know whatever. Those
fish are there, you know, with clients and all that stuff.

(01:16:48):
But it's uh, I think I think overall, on the average,
you know, the numbers are down. One of the things
that I kind of find interesting is we're starting to
see more of those Hackberry guys run and run west
and I never would have thought that it would all,
you know, stay piled up and shoes. But it's uh,
I think it's just kind of season longer. It's easier

(01:17:10):
for some of those guys. But you know, making that however,
you know, twenty twenty plus mile run down down the
inner coastal, you know, just to get to the just
to get the river over here. But it's, uh, it
is different. I mean, it's just you know, whatever, it
evolves all the time, and you know we're hoping that
that you know, some of that good stuff comes back.
And I will say this, I think our red fish

(01:17:32):
fishery is probably as good as anywhere on the golf.
I mean, we're we're just ridiculous. Yeah, everybody's been saying
the same thing. You know, there's been a lot of
red fish and all that. But yeah, man, it's just
just you know, you get out there and start, you know,
start catching those fish and you know, one of them
comes up to the side of the buddy and go,
oh man, that one might finally make the slot and
it's not too big and you lay it up there

(01:17:53):
on that check it and it's you know, it's thirty
two inches long. You know, it's like, oh my god,
because it looks small, you know, we're Yeah. A lot
of these fish are thirty seven to forty and it's
just it's just it's been really really good on the
red fish. They just they won't leave, and you know,
hoping that the trout will fallow suit fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
Cliff Web had one down in uh somewhere down where
he was fishing a few days ago. He had one
guy called a big trout, one guy caught a snook,
and another guy called a fifty two inch red fish.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
Oh my lord, what a what afect? How about that?

Speaker 7 (01:18:28):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Fish is getting better. I'm with you everything. I love
this three fish limit for us over here. I wish
Louisiana would help a little bit with it. But if
they do, they do, and if they don't, they don't,
and it'll all work out somehow. Man, it's good to
hear from you again. I need to get over there
and fish with you. Cluck chuck.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
I'm I'm waiting, you know, always got a spot in
the boat, man, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Man, Yeah, I'll make the plans. I just gotta. I
just got to get off my lazy behind and pick
a day. Thank you, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
If I don't see I catch at the fish and show.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Yeah. Tell them your number, man, because I don't know
if everybody has.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
It over here at area code four oh nine six
six Wakesondrakes dot com on the Internet.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
I like that, Wakes and Drakes. That's a good you
come up with that. Yes, third nice, Wakes and Drakes.
That's awesome. Thank you, Chuck.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
Okay, buddy, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Yeah man, audios, Holy cow, Yeah. Louisiana fifteen trout. That's
a lot. That's a lot. All right. We got to
tell you a little break here. Timber Creek Golf Club
down there on FM twenty three to fifty one in friends,
what twenty seven holes very playable if you will. And
that's an important thing with the golf course, especially if
you're anywhere near new to the game in some way,

(01:19:46):
shape or form. You got to you got to get
your hold on. I got to put in my password
again real quick. There we go. You you've got to
get fun out of golf or you're not gonna keep playing.
And there's only two ways to do. One, you find
a course that suits your game. And with three nines
down there, you can find one of those two nines

(01:20:07):
that are more fun for you than the other one.
And then just play them in rotation when you can,
and if you're just struggling all around. They've got great
teaching down there at the Golf Academy at timber Creek.

down there probably three four years now, it may maybe five,

I'm not sure, but ever since I'm hearing nothing but
good things about what he's doing he and his staff
are doing with people down there. It's a great place
to run a big tournament. They've got plenty of room
to get a lot of players out there and moved around.
It's a great place to just if you get a
wild hair and want to go play, they'll also be
able to get you out. Probably. That's another place that

trying to get in touch with them casually and not
really aggressively. But man, if they want to, if you
want to tap into this audience, I'd be happy to
help him. Let him know.

he moved from where we hunted, and they saw, you know,
a couple of hundred mostly gadwall again, mallards are scarce.
And the two guys sat out there and rode the

You don't need to learn when to blow it. You
need to learn when not to blow it. And that's
most of the time, how and when.
