Well, the good news is the fishing been excellent and those that make the trek will probably see less fishing pressure. A slow season may be good for the lake at the current water level. She's been taking a beating over the last year and could use a break right about now! Glass half-full 😀👍

You can fish falcon at night, just carry a red and blue flashing led bar.

Hate to see any business suffer because of negative press. I know there are places in the DFW area that are just as dangerous as the area around Falcon. I don't hang out there either. A lot more Americans have been killed on and around Fork than have been on and around Falcon in the last 20 years

I get that you can encounter violence anywhere but cartel violence is different. If they are blatant enough to haul loads at the State Park Ramp not long after dark it's definitely a mess down there right now. And to say that no fisherman minding his own business has ever encountered a problem down there is false. There are a lot of people looking to head down there this time of year and the last thing that we need to do is lul them into a false sense of security. By all means head down, I will but have your head on a swivel, and be mindful of your surroundings.

This is fact. With the amount of enforcement on both sides, I feel it is quite safe.

If I bring my boat back from Rayburn this weekend, may run down and fish Falcon for a day or so. I probably should stay at Rayburn and start getting ready for BFL's starting in Jan.
Thanks, Billy
