Nestled in Historic Downtown Mabank Shorty's Soda Shop is a replica of the small town drug store many old timers remember from their youth. The furnishings are from the 1950-era and a lot of the menu items are too. There are lots of sandwiches like a BLT, Fried Bologna, Chicken Salad, Grilled Cheese and Corned Beef. You can also add chips to make a Shorty Basket. If you want something a little lighter, try the Stuffed Avocado or Tomato that can be filled with Chicken Salad, Tuna Salad, Shrimp Salad or Pimento Cheese. And of course there are fountain drinks, ice cream dishes, Banana Splits and Old Fashioned Ice Cream Sodas. Shorty's Soda Shop is at 111 E. Market St., Mabank, TX. 903-887-7632.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 22)

GOOD. stained; 47 degrees; 2.68 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is on Fire! Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-55 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier and colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The water clarity is stained to slightly stained heading south. The best catfish bite is drifting from 18-35 feet using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
