Falcon? Oh my Lord, I think this will be my only 'long haul' fishing trip. This old body is wearing out a lot faster than the mind is. Want to go a number of places but, I'm going to have to narrow it down to a very few.
Good suggestion though....would love to but....well, enough said
God Bless

Lee the worst problem you will have is when you get back. Selling your house to move to Toledo

Now that is one problem I would love to have.....but, since I'm retired, have to admit. I'm no longer the boss.
I used to be, used to run an entire department for the USN but, no longer.
Have to settle all these things with my wife, the boss now. ((((sigh)))
God Bless

you're about to ruin these dfw lakes for yourself

i'll be there for a 3 day fun trip with some buddies at the end of march, if i can remember to i'll send you a full report

Lee that is the week of the Texas State Bass Tournament that will be headquartering out of Fin and Feather. You might as well fish that Tournament, they say that was one of the first organized tournaments.

Knot is correct. Cool Deal.

No, you buy a house slap in between Rayburn and Toledo. That right there is paradise my friend, you got the best of both worlds!

Hopefully, as we are going during the week, last week of the month, there will be little going on.
Man, ya'll are surely getting my hopes up even higher than I had before..
and that's pretty darn high!
If we catch ANYTHING, will post some when we get home. Sorry, my cell phone only 'talks'...., no data plan and if I had my way.... no camera, just a phone.
But, I'll post something... thanks so much for all the information!
God Bless

The boat lanes are marked very well with buoys in the center of the lanes on the Texas side and markers on each side of the lanes on the Louisiana side (like a highway). With the water level as high as it is, the buoys will be high enough and not swayed to one side or the other of the lane causing potential danger. Unless you just want to spend money on a chip for your graph of the boat lanes, you'll do fine without it. And just FYI - it's actually easier to run in the dark with a spotlight cuz those buoys light up like Christmas Trees!

You'll have fun down there. Like someone said above, Fin n Feather is a nice place with a really good restaurant. The fishing should be pretty dang good, too.

Good advice given here Lee. Housen Bay where F&F is located is several miles long, you could fish that cove for two days and not hit the same spot. Good luck with your trip.

I know where a lovely house on TB is and just happens to be for sale... private boat ramp in the back yard, 2 slip boat house, perfect little quiet neighborhood. Just wake up grab coffee, enjoy the sunrise on the back deck and then walk down to get into your boat. If I had the money I'd buy the house, grew up there weekends and summers and holidays. Been our family fish camp since the house was built... Sad to see it go Love that place

Again, many thanks ya'll. I knew the lake is huge but guess didn't have a real sense for just how large it is. WOW, fish two days on one cove.....that's big.
Not so sure will get out at night but, perhaps in the early morning hours just before dawn.
Good stuff to know
God Bless

that place has creek arms as big as lake fork

I like to use Texas rigged baby brush hogs and trick worms plus a rattle trap. Good luck!
