I saw on a different thread on here that the owners at the marina were thinking about closing the ramp. I just called and they will be open again on Monday morning, but they are not sure about after that. Apparently Sat. night people caught fish and cleaned them all over the ramp. The owners had to clean it up this morning and understandably are not happy. If you do launch there and see people cleaning fish ask them to stop. This is the only launch open on Ray Roberts and they are about to get it shut down. This is another one of those common sense things like running your big motor up into schooling fish. Duh?

Drove across the dam and saw topwater action between Culp and the dam.
Sanger Access ramp parking lot looks really good. The ramp dock was in the packing lot though.
I couldn't see Pond from the gate.
The Marina looked busy around sundown but everyone looked like they were being patient.
Lake is under 6' high now. Really looking forward to using the ramps.

I just called the marina and they have decided to keep the ramp open. They will close it if it happens again, so if you launch there and see someone cleaning fish there you might want to tell them the situation.

Out this past monday morning, 7am launch till 10:30am. Sandies not near as well organized. Very sporadic topwater action early. Worked them from south of Wolf to east of Wolf almost all the way to the sticks. That died off a bit and they got active south of Wolf again at about 10am, best action of the day. Most caught slabbing or casting and bumping it across the bottom all the way back. Scratched out about 50 fish in the 3.5 hours, nothing like the 100 in an hour the prior Monday, but still a good trip.

It was even worse this morning. They never really came up around Wolfe. We found a few in scattered schools, but none stayed up long. We checked out Culp and Kate's too with no luck. It was also windy, and it made it hard to find schooling fish.

Just a rumor. I've yaked around the ramps. Looks good to me, except for the abundance of zebras. That's another story. I've been told that federal aid has ben given to TPWD. When they reopen it, it's cut off$. Been told it will be around labor day before they open the ramps. I hope this isn't true, I felt disgusted. Not to stir the pot, any facts would be appreciated.

That's all it takes is one guy to mess it up for the rest of us, I hope the ramps open soon I will be the first to go get my pass for the year.

it was tough for us this morning. Fished primarily around Wolf, and on up towards state park. Surfacing action was hit and miss, as soon as you got close, they would go down. Caught enough on white slabs\jig and pop-r's to feed the family. Marked lots of fish and shad on the graph.
