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.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 5)

GOOD. stained; 54 degrees; 0.11 feet above pool. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite will be here for just a few more weeks while the water temperature increases with the warmer weather. The white bass and hybrids will be making their run into the creek arms and will settle in along shallow points and shallower water to lay their eggs for spawning. 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 22-36 feet of water. 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. Try smaller sized plastics as the bite will be smaller sized baits. 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 is on docks and in creeks with minnows or jigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish can be caught in shallow water near creek mouths, or drifting in deep water with cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
