I mean, my folks was from Pennsylvania, so what exactly is Randall talking about?
He tells Jack that his boss, Roy Taylor, has a little cabin down on Lake Kemp (on the Wichita River in Baylor County, Texas, southeast of Childress--I looked it up in my atlas). Randall says he's got "a croppie house ... a little boat. Says I can use it whenever I want." Randall says they should "fish some."
We know what he really wants to get Jack down there for, but what exactly is a "croppie house"?
I have heard my father and other relatives who are fisherman talk about fishing for "crappies," which in central Pennsylvania refers to a type of bass. Anybody know whether this is what Randall is talking about, bass fishing? Is a "croppie house" a little cabin Texans stay in when they go bass fishing?
