Fishing In Texas
By Travis Clemens
In the state of Texas, 2 licenses are needed. The first is
called the Conservation license. This is a prerequisite a
person must have before being allowed to obtain a fishing
license.
The Conservation license can be obtained from the Fish,
Wildlife & Parks or FWP. This is done by giving one’s social
security number and other information that is requested. A
valid driver’s license or any valid ID with photo must also be
presented for security purposes for the license to be
processed.
Once that is done, a fishing license can be acquired which is
neither non-transferable nor non-refundable and is only valid
for one year.
Fish that are normally caught in Texas are flounder, trout and
sheepshead.
Here are some tips that will help anyone who wants to go
fishing in Texas;
1. The first thing to do is get the right equipment: a good
boat, fishing rod, reels and bait.
2. If one is not familiar with the place, it is best to ask the
locals where the best fishing ground is then start from there.
3. Hooks can be in different sizes. The right hook for fishing
is dependent on the kind of bait that will be used.
4. To prevent injury especially when taking out the fish caught
in the hook, it is advisable to do it using wet hands.
5. The primary source of food for Seagulls is fish. If there is
a flock in one area it means that place is good for fishing. One
should approach quietly and set the bait and just wait for the
fish to start coming in.
6. Some fish stray when the water is clear but it is quite
difficult since the fish can also see the bait. To be able to
catch more fish, the best place to do it is in deep water.
7. It is also advisable to try a variety of bait when fishing.
Some fish can easily be caught with one kind while others are
not. It takes practice to get it right and patience for the
fish to come out and haul it in.

Texas Vacations are Unique
The Texas Hill Country A Unique RV Vacation Destination
By David S
Are you looking for a special getaway this year – a vacation
within a vacation - for just you and your sweetheart?
Fredericksburg Texas is a charming city to visit while you are
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country, especially if you like
traveling with your RV. Fredericksburg is at the heart of
central Texas and its hill country.
Fredericksburg Texas rests near Enchanted Rock State Park, a
1,643 acre park which has the 2nd largest granite outcrop in
the United States. You can take a leisurely nature walk, or
hike up one of the many hills. For the truly adventurous you
can rock climb and repel. Take a day trip from the park for a
family picnic. While in Fredericksburg take a tour of some of
the homes and buildings located in the ‘historical district.
You can see 18th and 19th century-era homes that remain today
as testaments to the influences that German immigrants had on
the area. Some of these historical homes and buildings have
been turned into quaint bed and breakfast Inns to welcome
guests. You will also find well-known shops, restaurants and
beer gardens in this Texas hill country town.
The town of Fredericksburg also has a number of great wineries.
Stop off at any of these wineries for some flavorsome
wine-tasting, or to attend one of the special events held by
these wineries throughout the year for visitors. For a list of
wineries visit: http://www.llanoriverrvpark.com/wineries.html.
You can find more than 15 different vineyards and wineries
throughout Texas hill country. Touring a winery or vineyard is
wonderful for couples, the wine ‘connoisseur' or anyone who
enjoys tasting new wines.
Wildseed Farms is one more favorite travel destination while
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country. The farm is located just
7 miles east of Fredericksburg Texas off of US Hwy 290. Wildseed
Farms is the nation's largest working wildflower seed farm,
where you can purchase wildflower seeds direct from the grower.
You can also experience some of the greatest flowers that Texas
has to offer. Best yet, Wildseed Farms is open year round. The
wild flower farm is even open on Christmas Eve.
Not only will you see gorgeous Bluebonnets - the State flower
of Texas, Indian Paint Brush and many other species of flowers
in various stages of growth, but also you can shop at the
on-site gift store and pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs. This is
a fantastic way to spend a relaxing day in the beautiful Hill
Country, but do not forget to bring your digital camera to
capture the ultimate in wildflower photographs! Spend as much
time as you like at the Farm's Activities.
RV parks are popular vacationing destinations throughout Texas
and especially in the hill country as RV camping offers you the
chance to get closer to nature.

Tips on Staying Healthy While Traveling
Tips On Staying Healthy While Traveling
By Mark Hammond
When we think of healthy travel issues, most of us think of
travel to exotic destinations where they have tropical
diseases. Domestic travel can make you sick, too, though unless
you take some precautions. Here are a few ways to travel healthy
when traveling.
Medications
Make sure you have any prescription medications that you need
with you. They should be in the original bottles, and you
should keep them in your purse or carry-on luggage.
Make sure you have any over-the-counter medications that you
usually take, too. Acetaminophen, anti-diarrhea medication,
antacids and antihistamines are always handy to have with you.
If you plan to do any sports or outdoor activities, you might
want to carry a simple first aid kit.
Keep a list of all the medications you take and your medical
history with you at all times. If you are diabetic or have
other health conditions, consider wearing a medicalert tag or
bracelet, or carrying a medicalert card with you.
Immunizations
Immunizations are important for healthy travel. Make sure they
are up to date. Check to see when your last tetanus shot was
and get one if it’s been over five years, and make sure you get
a flu shot. Planes, trains and buses are ideal breeding grounds
for all kinds of viruses.
Wash your hands
Wash them often. Carry antibacterial hand washing gel with you,
and wash frequently. Germy people have touched everything, and
those germs get on your hands and then they make you sick. The
easiest way to prevent travel colds is to wash your hands a
lot.
Drink lots of water
Travel tends to dehydrate you. Airplanes, especially, have very
dry air in them. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages
because they tend to make you more dehydrated. If you are
flying, avoid carbonated beverages because the gas expands
while you are in the air, and you know what kind of problems
that can cause, especially for your seat mate. Bottled water is
best if you are unsure about the safety of local water.
Walk
If you are stuck in a bus, train or plane seat for long periods
of time, you can develop blood clots in your legs, which can be
very dangerous. Get up and walk around as much as possible.
Take a good walk at rest stops. As a general rule, you
shouldn’t sit for more than a couple of hours at a time. If
sitting is unavoidable, stretch your legs out and move them
around frequently.
Follow these healthy travel hints and you can avoid most
illnesses, even when traveling domestically.

What Can a Mail Forwarding – Receiving Company do for You?
Do you travel? Do you find yourself overseas – hoping your brother-in-law or neighbor will take car of your mail as promised? Maybe you pull an RV across the country – rarely returning home? Regardless of your reasons – a mail receiving forwarding company could benefit you tremendously.
Some mail forwarding companies are located in states which charge no state income tax – such as Texas. If you meet the IRS residency requirements – you could actually establish your legal residence in a state such as Texas – lowering your taxes – freeing up valuable money for travel expenses or whatever you need!
Do you worry about receiving and paying your bills on time? A carefully chosen mail receiving - forwarding company will help make sure your bills are received and forwarded to you within plenty of time for you to make those necessary payments. Also, if you desire, some companies will even screen out junk mail for you – per your specifications.
In choosing a mail forwarding company – you should make sure they are reliable, responsible and will treat you like a friend. Avoid large mail forwarding companies which will treat you like a number, lose your mail and don’t even know your name – choose a smaller, more customer friendly mail forwarding company. A company with people who actually know you by name and will treat you and your mail – the way you deserve.
