This link will take you to a site that will show you current water level at Choke Canyon and how far away it is from full. When I posted this at 7:15PM it was at 200 and the full level is 220 so still down 20 feet. http://chokecanyon.uslakes.info/Level/.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free

I caught about 8 foot of water, we used the 99 ramp up to 26 foot low in a 24 foot center console it is now about 20 foot low so it should be easily accessible.

Anything is better than nothing Oh I agree, just seems like its either the Nueces or Atascosa that seem to get all the runoff.

I was planning on scouting for ducks, could have worded that a bit better. Have a John boat with a 25, just not sure if its worth the trouble.

Prob not much trouble with that. Might be a pretty decent current up the river. If you go to the main lake (plenty hunt around the main lake) then watch the wind speed forecast. Not sure if youve ever been, but any wind over 10mph gets the main lake rough. Calliham would be safe though, pretty protected from the North & South. Mason Point would be protected from a South wind.
Not sure if Doughtry (misspelled) is open now or not, prob not.

17.7 foot low now, its come up about 11 feet. Been a while since there was this much water in it. Hopefully catch a little more if the rain they are predicting continues. The ground is primed if it stays steady nearly everything that falls will be run off.
