Any updates. It's starting to warm up and I'm getting the itch.

I haven't heard from them yet. I did hear they are close to finishing the Twin Points project from a friend. Supposedly, they were going to try to finish Bridgeport projects soon. I'm sure all that snow, ice, rain, and other bad words held them up on some of the repairs they had planned. The lake really needs all the moisture it can get, so I don't begrudge them the precip. Just wish it would do it all at once and get it over with. Maybe they will get a few days of clear weather to get it finished. The ramp at the 380 Bridge is still open but it's a long haul to deeper water. I haven't been up there in a few weeks, visiting other lakes for while. People want to go to PK and Texoma so, "have boat will travel". lol Tight Lines, Jeff

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the gate will be open soon. I don't need a ramp, just a place to park my truck.

They told me they would not open the gates until it is all done. They might change their minds. They might not. I don't KNOW any more than they told me. You can park on the hill and carry all your stuff down, or let it slide down. Don't know how heavy it is. Just might have trouble carrying it back up the hill. That's 300 ft. of ramp and 200 or so up to the top. lol

I already did that once. I parked at the top of the hill and took my kayak all the way down to the water and called a buddy and asked if he thought that I would be ok. He told me that the enforcement of parking regulations was pretty strict out there and that the folks at that nearby church might complain. So I loaded everything back up, climbed the hill and went to the Wise Co park instead. Do the folks at that church at the top of the hill mind people parking up there adjacent to the gate? I don't mind the haul I just don't want to get cited/towed. Anyone have any experience with this or know the name of that church (maybe I could call and ask someone there)?

Kayakers and others have done a fine job of keeping the area up there clean. I am not aware of any parking restrictions there. It could always change if there is a lot of traffic there in the future, but so far so good. I would go ahead and fish.

+1 ^ What keith said, but I would be sure not to park in front of the gate. Not that you would, but some one might and spoil it for you. The things we do to enjoy our fun times. lol

Once it warms up a little more I'll give it a try. I parked in the grassy area west of the gate. I may try that again and just leave a note on my truck with my number on the dash just in case. It's a nice little hike up the ramp but it will be worth it if I get into some sand bass action like I have in the past.

TRWD called me Friday pm and told me they were opening the gate to the ramp at the Bridgeport dam. They are about finished with the projects they wanted to do there. He said they had a few more signs to put up, but that could be done anytime. There are rocks just under the surface to the south of the ramp. Only room for one boat to beach right now. The water has risen a little and you may not see those rocks. I could see them just under the surface before the water level rose. They will only be 1 1/2' to 2' below the surface. They extend out about 35 ft. from the shore. Jet ski trailers and anyone who is not very experienced at backing, please use 380 ramp. It is 300 ft. from the top to the water line and one lane. Please don't cause others to have to wait for you to figure out you are unable to back that far. It's going to be fun videoing you and submitting it to worlds funniest videos on national tv. Only one boat at a time will be able to unload and beach to park their truck. They asked if anyone sees folks throwing out or leaving their trash to please ask them to pick up after themselves. They don't have an attendant to clean up after everyone. Hey, 9 months from the time I talked with them about fixing the ramp to it being opened is not quite as bad as the federal governments schedule. At least now we have an alternative to the 380 ramp.
