Update: I went out yesterday for a few hours and it was a circus. Two guys in bass boats racing each other, ski boats loaded with too many people, big bay boats with radios blaring, idiots cutting each other off to fish banks. I hid out in a couple of my spots, but it was still crazy out at the well known areas and all the timber areas. The guy peeing on the tire of )I hope) his own truck was the icing on the cake. Other than that, fishing was good.

The people fishing and getting upset when they don't want to share the bank is what I think is disgusting. Now if you got the trolling motor down and are heading in a direction and a person comes literally right almost within casting distance of you thats one thing. I have had that happen to me before on that lake. But that lake is too small not to share when it is jammed packed like that. Maybe LCRA should do everyone a favor and ask that 3rd party operator to close that ramp as well before someone either gets in an accident or hurt through an argument.

Tom...I am not a fan of closing the ramps, even though it's a pain right now. BTW...The LCRA Parks website (third party operator) says that the Oak Thicket ramp re-opens today April 6...

Well that will definitely take some of the parking pressure off the other ramp for sure. Im not a fan of closing ramps either hope this helps.

Has anyone actually verified they opened Oak Thicket boat ramp today? I’ll check tomorrow and give an update if nobody has done so by then.

I heard her telling people something but didn't hear what she said. I was headed back in the morning if I hadn't read your post. I feel sorry for anyone that makes a long drive to the lake in the morning to find out the ramp is closed. Thanks for posting.

Fayette is now completely closed! Side Note: Got a feeling there will be a lot more!

That is what the LCRA website has posted. Im surprised as crowded as the ramp was that it lasted as long as it did. Oh well the bite might be pretty good when they do open it back up. Maybe in May they will open both ramps.

That's too bad, but we wacked them yesterday! Glad I got on the water before they locked it up.
