Thanks GMAN #@%*%## comp wouldn't pull up web page, so off to little ridge I went later than I wanted but,nice & calm for little while first spot bout 12fow. first drop of bonehead tackle jig, WHAM 12.5 in. caught me by surprise. Few min. later a dink, moved to deeper open timber just south of tickey creek, dang weather arse wrong again not 5 to 8 mph like forecast at 5 am like 12mph white caps at 930, dang bounced up&down bumpin into trees.NUTTIN,to ramp at 113o Let Keeper go. CURSE OF THE FIRST DROP, thought was gonna be epic.

I feel your pain, much windier than forecast, fishing was very slow for us Saturday

It was ultra slow for me Sunday. On the water from 8 until noon. Tried several spots ten dinks and one 13" white. I also had a bluegill hit a 1/8 jig. LOL...

Update, the Lavon website was updated on the 10th to include the progress (loose term there) that is being made to the closures. I drove by Clear Lake park last night and the gate attendant told me they have been awaiting the results of soil samples for months, to figure out how to pack the dirt in order to lay new pavement. No timetable to be open, because apparently whoever is working on it doesn't have goals or deadlines or anything.

For Avalon, I was told they are awaiting bids on the repair; I don't remember the last time Avalon was open, but apparently in that amount of time they don't have a bid for the repair.

Just the updates as I heard them from the man last night, hopefully the result is better than the current expectation

When the attendent at East Fork was asked when the other (better location) marina ramp would be open, He said "2050".
That may have been a conservative estimate...

Don't want to get in too big of a hurry around there.

Lavon update. More awesomeness from COE. Apparently FULL POOL is not a good water level for Brockdale. went over there today because it was too windy to launch at Tickey.

Brockdale is closed for road repairs, water level has nothing to do with it. They are doing this at quite a few of the parks it looks like. Hey just go over to Collin, all you have to give them is one of your arms and you can launch

Paul agree with the arm& your dog,i know they have lot of maintainance on that big place but really!! wish coe would open the other ramp at east fork , id pay 5 bucks my 2 cents!

I hesitate to complain, as it will do 0 good, but having 1 usable ramp on the west side of the lake is ridiculous. (I don't count highland or north of 380 because they are functionally pointless for fishing main lake).

Well said. 2 great locations on the east side that are free, and then 1 ramp on the west side that charges $9 if you are alone! Yeah I went to Highland after I found Brockdale closed, boy was that a mistake. Spent half my day idling through timber.

I have launched off of Mallard and Avalon (or East Fork) and they were both good.

I feel your pain. I have been launching at Tickey Creek. Collin is too expensive. Looks like it will be next year before Brockdale or Clear Lake are open.
