Brad,
I was in the "Not So Much" category when I tried to fish that side of the lake during the spawn shortly after it went up and TPWD posted that it was OK to cross. I got stuck between the sponsons and Power Pole Bracket, then I couldn't get the motor over it. Flagged someone down asking them to hold it down for me, they tried to tell me it was illegal to cross.
I decided not to go fish up there, I am sure they had a really nice spawn with not many anglers molesting them! So, I came back across and learned the trick, momentum...
I don't think any of our MBC teams went up there a couple of weeks ago, and no, we didn't make it "off limits".
David, for sure, we have had much less boat traffic on the bridge side of the boom this year. I do see the occasional exception but maybe 1/10th of the normal number.
It seems to me that most prefer to head deeper and more toward the dam these months,anyway, but I still hope all signs of the Giant Salvinia are gone, the boom gets carted away.
