Thanks folks, but again, I'm really just looking for a motel maybe Del Rio or somewhere near the lake.. I'll probably only stay like 2-3 nights.. Literally just to get up, put the boat in, and fish all day, then sleep. I haven't been down that way in years so I don't know if there's anything around there decent to stay in. Not really looking for a cabin or anything fancy. Just like a Motel 6 or Econolodge or something

Thanks again


My apologies, I thought the Ramada was one of the cabin things the others mentioned.. That's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!
Ramada as mentioned before.

The Ramada is decent and has 2 pools (if anyone is going with you), 1 is indoors although it was cold in there too last time we stayed there. Only bad thing I can say about it is that the boat parking is several hundred feet away from the rooms, youll have to tote your important gear. I have not stayed at the other places, but Boomer lives there so you might check out his recommendation above.

Besides Tommy's - La Quinta reasonable (not sure about boat parking, Del Rio Inn reasonable (Crowded), Motel 6 (very crowded-not much boat parking), Quality Inn (reasonable). Best bet if you can is the AF Marina. Trailers and Cabins inexpensive great location-not close to anything except ramp. Some you will need to check for scum's hanging around. Yes there are some. Need any help let me know.

Just thought of something.. Are the places to plug in the batteries at the Ramada?

Yes. If you get one of the business class rooms in the back there are outlets all over that parking lot.

I believe you can stay at Tommys for 65$ an night for one person or 40$ per night if two or more, closer to the lake and safer for your boat. I dont think you can get a room any cheaper at a motel but I could be wrong.

In that case, I like that idea.. I honestly didn't even bother looking at prices after I saw pics of the place.. I'll be sure to check that out!

I just thought I'd throw that out there, it's nicer and closer to the lake and if I remember correctly it is cheaper. Whatever you decide just have fun.

Tommys should always be your first call. By far the best option down there.

Thanks a bunch guys! I'll give Tommy a call soon.

I guess if y'all don't mind, have another question about the lake..

As I said, haven't been there since I was a kid.. Even when I did go, I was there with my mom while my dad was fishing some big championship bass tournament....

Are there any hazards as far as navigation goes on this lake or areas to watch out for (stumps, rocks, shallows.. etc?) I have updated lakes maps on my Garmins, but I try not to rely 100% on them... Doing that has put me on a sandbar before at 9 o'clock at night....

Thanks!

Everything is marked really well on your maps. Once you leave the safety of the river channel which has buoys. Then cut your speed way down and start zooming in to stay in the creek channels taking you into the canyons. You can very well be in 100 ft. one second and 5 ft or less the next.

Dont run in the dark, plenty of people have beached their boats while running before dawn.
