Going Old School

I’ve been fortunate to visit some of the very best largemouth bass lakes in the world, and I’m thankful that so many of those trips came at a time when fishing was still fishing. Not the video game it has become for so many since the evolution of high-tech electronics like forward-facing sonar, monster screens and other game changing goodies. 10/15/2024 02:48 PM

Clean Up Donations

Clean Up Donations

This past weekend Keep Cuero Beautiful sponsored a city wide clean up event and invited “teams” of volunteers to pitch in and cover several areas of town. Trust Texas Cuero Bank employees signed up for the event and collected lots and lots of debris and then turned in their “haul” to be weighed. They were one of the three winning teams and their award was a $100 check. To make this a double/triple win they donated the check to Pet Adoptions of Cuero. The non profit shelter wins with funds to help their vet expenses, the City of Cuero won – all that trash picked up and the Trust Texas Bank staff won bragging rights for their efforts and dedication. Thanks to all who participated in this wonderful TRASH for CASH event. 10/09/2024 02:23 PM

Silver Bullets: Secret weapons for fishing don’t exist

Fishermen are always looking for that silver bullet — a secret weapon they believe will help them catch more fish or get the edge over others. The search often leads to the purchase of big expense items. 10/02/2024 12:46 PM
