Well looks like the Falcon Trip is on hold! Took a little trip to the lake today and..........BOOM! Blown powerhead!!! I guess I'm glad it happened at home and not on Falcon. Think I'll go out to the barn and cry for a while. Oh well, s*#@ happens,just happens to me a lot! I'll get er fixed and plan another trip!

Dang, sorry to hear that! Hope you didn't leave any of that bad luck laying around. We're heading down Sat morning. 1450 miles! Ouch. Can you say, "road rash"? Had my motor tank tested last week just for a little insurance. Can't wait! banana

Don't worry about having to postpone, the fishing actually gets better once the spawn is done and they set up on points and drop off's.

Ok trip back on!!!Woohoo! Jumped to conclusions before I checked it out,top bearing on shaft shelled out and locked down. Pulled plugs and had great compression.That lead us to lower unit and yep there it was. No damage to gears,got lucky on that. Leaving Sunday morning and be on the water Monday morning. Maybe we'll run into some fellow TFF members while there.

We(group of 7) will be there on Tuesday. Should be on the water by about ten Tuesday morning and staying till Friday. Can't wait. Haven't been to Falcon in 25+ years!!! Staying at Oso Blanco. I asked this question on an earlier thread of mine but it got buried. We are a little "overbooked" with only two boats and 7 guys. Do you think having my son fish out of a Kayak is a viable option? He is a college student and decided Falcon would be more fun than South Padre. Not sure I agree with him but thinking about letting him fish out of a Kayak instead of trying to put four in a boat!

If you stay close to him it ought to be alright. Don't know that I'd do it on the Mexico side, however.

We saw guys fishing out of tubes and doing Well! Watch those snakes, we saw some large snakes. Also- be sure to eat at the Holiday Restaurant near the courthouse on Hy 83 AWESOME FOOD, best in town and great service.

Good Luck!

Afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you Emerson on Holiday restaurant. In the past we've always had good food, but the trip we took in February, the food was awful. My chicken strips were slimy and my buddy took 1 bite from his hamburger. We paid and went back to the room to eat a sandwich.

I wouldn't fish out of a tube. Two different times we had snakes try to get in the boat with us. If it weren't for us moving along, they would have, very protective of their baby-making territory right now.
