As of this morning swim buoys are still up.

saturday morning, early, about 12 or more of ya need to go fish the dock, do it in a rotation of say 5 casts each then back of the line.

someone sitting in line can call the gw when they come out.

So I thought that these people had been contacted by the GW already and this was taken care of?? And things are still not fixed? Wow... Time for ticketing or worse!!

They have been contacted by an LCRA Ranger, whom I have just reached out too and asked if there was a timeline given as to when this had to be removed, because as of this AM, they have not....

He responded and stated they have been given time....I know, you all will want to know much time and I inquired....thanks....if you fish it, just be courteous.

This is why I prefer COE lakes which prohibit docks. Too often they fall into a state of disrepair, even the best of them are ugly and distract from the natural beauty.

But they hold fish..lol

I wouldn't be surprised if the property owner is a well connected individual and nothing gets done.

It seems to me that if a homeowner wanted to have a steady population of fish around his lighted dock it would be better to run the lights all the time night after night, not just when he is out there fishing. I'm thinking fish aren't going to rush over from down the lake or across the creek when he turns on the lights for a couple of hours to fish. Does someone who owns a dock with either flood lights above the water or lights under the water have thoughts on whether this is true?

The uglier the better. Exposed styrofoam that has [censored] growing on them is the ticket.

Many of the green lights are suppose to be run to keep them clean and operational. On those types, turning them off is actually shortening the lifetime of the light. My experience at Fork on the green lights, I have one favorite that was good at producing numbers and large fish when it ran all night, every night. I spoke to the owner once and because of damage caused by fishermen to the lights and dock, he turned them on a timer only working during certain hours. He gave me the times that they operated and I try them every time that I go but they've never been the same since they weren't on all night every night. I rarely ever catch a fish on them.

That said, if the dock is in the right location with the right depth and something nearby that keep fish close by, when the lights come on they will eventually attract the bait fish and the bass will follow. My experience is that when fish have a consistent pattern, they will be much more consistent on being there.

Are you implying that Lake Tawakoni has some ugly docks on it?

Lol! Ugly docks! What to do! What to do!!

If he said it's a swim ares I think we should all spend Saturday afternoon there. Music, Ice chest. Ya'll remember how to do it.
