Austin Woods and Waters Club

AWWC is dedicated to "passing on the heritage" of the outdoors experience to the younger generations and to the conservation of our wildlife resources. Club activities stress sound game management, conservation, proper and ethical outdoor activities and, of course, great fellowship while participating in these outdoors experiences. Our members like to spend time outdoors hunting, fishing, and talking about it and sometimes, possibly even exaggerating just a bit.

Steele & Kent Fish Port O'Connor

fishing

This was one of those trips that you just know is going to turn out well, no matter what. Riding down to Port O’Conner with new AWWC member Kent Macaulay and long-timer Norman Trubee was interesting and fun. Granted, it took Kent’s telling me that he could not hear a damned thing from the back seat because I was playing with opening the rear window. Once closed we got on with what’s-happening-now with one another.

AWWC Returns to Pine Island Lodge

pine Island crew

What is rapidly becoming a tradition for Austin Woods & Waters Club is the great hospitality and exceptional fishing offered by Brian and Barbara Burgess, hosts of Pine Island Lodge in the Winnipeg River, Manitoba, Canada. Located on a 17 acre island, just an hour’s drive, then a 45-minute boat ride from the Winnipeg airport (beverage and supply stops not figured in travel time), Pine Island Lodge provides a welcome break from the hustle of everyday Austin life, and a much-needed break from the Texas heat.

The 2012 trip is scheduled to take place from August 17th to the 21st, with three days of non-stop fishing action in between. The cabins at Pine Island are quaint and comfortable, the views are astounding, and the service from the staff is unparalleled. Picture coffee delivered to your cabin at 7:00 am, breakfast served in the lodge at 7:30, and ambling down to the docks to meet your jovial and knowledgeable guides whenever you’re finished eating and ready to fish. Typically, you catch your lunch of fresh Walleye in the morning, then head out for an afternoon of topwater action with Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike; some great fighting action.

Hunting, Fishing, Shooting, and Outdoor Activities

Each spring, AWWC holds one of two major social events of the year. This Spring event is called the Spring Family Picnic and Wild Game Cook Off and is open to all members and their families. Game recipes and outdoor delicacies prepared by our accomplished member-chefs are the highlights of the event, as well as activities and fun for the entire family. Our fall event is the annual McBride Foundation Banquet, the purpose of which is to raise funds for the Clubs charitable entity.

The Club offers its members and guests shooting sports events and hunting and fishing trips of all types. The generous sponsorship of lodges, guide services and members help keep these trips affordable.

Social Activities

Typically, twice a year, the Club sponsors a Trophy Room Cocktail Party at the home of one of our members. Members and their spouses are invited and the purpose of the event is to get to know each other better and have fun.
