I have to be in sweetwater sat, so i was going to take boat and fish ivie sunday on way home. any help would be great I do not even know where to put in at. Thanks Matt

Check with Jerry at elm creek . he can point you in the right direction . You can also launch there and eat there.

Matt, I had a great day today anchored by an 8...I put in at Concho and fished the Colorado. They have moved into the coves to spawn...water is 66degrees. f5 Tornadoes.

Matt.... It will be as crowded there as flies on a cow patty Saturday and Sunday. But, I think you will have better odds of finding a parking place by putting in at the Concho marina. You will turn South on the West end of Ballinger and come out about 12 miles. You will come to a blinking yellow light at an intersection. Turn left at that intersection and go about 10 miles. You will see the TPWD Public Boat Ramp brown sign on the right hand side of the road. You turn left (road doesn't have a right hand turn intersecting road there) and follow it down about 6 miles to Concho Park Marina. They have a store there and will sell you a $5 permit to launch and park at the ramp. The ramp is about 350 yards on down that road from the store. Have your license plate number when you go into the store to buy your permit. Just head out anywhere from there and start fishing. Be very careful and watch for the big pecan and oak trees. You will be able to tell where the river channel is at from the ramp by looking at the large gap in between the tallest trees to the East (right) of the ramp. Watermelon Chart magnum 8" lizards work great there. There is another bait that is whacking them down there. But, if I say what it is, some will say it's a plug for that bait. Watermelon red worms, blue fleck, and green pumpkin are the top colors there. Email me if you have any further questions and I will try and help you out.

We have a 70 boat tournament launching out of Elm Creek Sunday. That's why I suggested trying to launch at Concho. I always launch at Elm Creek. It's wide open lake there with no trees to tear up anything on your boat. Lots of fish on that end too!!!

Thanks GoWacky..... Don't forget the F6.5 too!

Hag dont worry about your shameless plug I fish your stuff all the time on fork and had luck with the f5 on eagle mountain today. Will be on fork wed. and thur. then heading out west for a couple of days and have never been on ivie so i waas going to give it a try on sunday. I dont think it can be as bad as fork on the weekend, but I have been wrong before. Thanks Matt

Hag is parking a problem, I wont be there untill about 8am so the T guys should be gone ????

Plenty of parking at either ramp, walking a little further to get to and from your boat isn't no big deal. Fish your strengths and you'll be fine. Just enjoy your day on the lake.
Good luck!

It's definitely not like walking at Amistad.

You will just have to walk a couple hundred yards to the ramp from where you will be parking. Endless amount of parking down the side of the roads.

Ivie has every type of fishing scenario there is. Like it was said, fish your strengths and you will have a great time there.

he is so polite... dude check out the undertaker hag hit home run on that one... ait nothing like it
