[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 142276, member: 1773"] ZAPATA (May 29, 2010)—Falcon Lake on the U.S.-Mexico border is fighting to protect its reputation as a world-class bass fishing destination since state authorities warned of pirates in its waters. The Texas Department of Public Safety says twice in recent weeks, fishermen on Falcon Lake have been robbed at gunpoint by marauders who the local sheriff says are "spillover" from fighting between rival Mexican drug gangs. Boaters are concerned about their safety, but the president of the local Chamber of Commerce is trying to assure people that everything's fine on the U.S. side of the lake. Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. says people shouldn’t be afraid to visit the lake, but should stay on the U.S. side. [color=#0000BF]This will probably have a colorful ending. This is Texas.[/color] [/QUOTE]
