BIG BASS BONANZA

This fishy letterbox is located on beautiful Lake Jacksonville, about 3 miles from downtown.

Lake Jacksonville was impounded in 1957 and offers 1,760 acres of water with a maximum depth of 62 feet. It is surrounded by homes and lovely East Texas scenery at its best.

The fishing here is phenomenal. The predominant fish species are record largemouth bass, in excess of 15 pounds, crappie, sunfish and catfish.

For camping there are ten screened shelters, seven camping sites with water and electricity, and five R.V. pads with water and electricity. There are three boat ramps, that are free to use, on the lake and two public swimming areas. The camping area also has restroom facilities with showers for the campers.

There is also an awesome fireworks display on the Fourth of July and the annual barge flotilla in December.

Lake Jacksonville also happens to be where I live with my husband and children, so if you need any fishing tips or info please contact me at texasluvbug@hotmail.com. This is an absolutely gorgeous place so make sure after finding the box that you continue down the road to the lake recreation area.

This is MY FIRST HAND CARVED STAMP and I think you will love it. This stamp is also a great stamp to color, so don't forget your markers. For the first finder there is a special little trinket commemorating this. So good luck.

Big Bass Bonanza is located at the "WELOCOME TO LAKE JACKSONVILLE" sign. When you are facing the sign there are rocks stacked around it. Look to your right to a pile of rocks and the letter box is tucked into a hole underneath a large rock with several small rocks on top.

Please rehide this box well as this is a fairly high traffic area.

If you need directions to Lake Jacksonville, please email me at texasluvbug@hotmail.com and I will be glad to help.

This box is also listed on atlasquest.com if you are tracking your F count.
