I went to Rayburn on Tuesday. Wow I had forgotten how big that lake is; since it had been over 25 /30 or 35 years since my last trip there. Life, kids, and stuff kept me close to the house. I launched at Cassel Boykin park. Such a nice ramp. AND Parking was great>! I headed out to some areas that I remember but so much had changed. I used my hummingbird maps to move around Wondered if there is a 'trail map' chip for Rayburn? . Been so long since I have seen Grass!!! First stop was a small drain that i remembered I caught two on a Trap; that was it for the day. I rode around into coves and searched with my Humminbird. It was a great day. little or no wind. I plan on going back next week and do some more riding and looking. Can not figure how in the world I fished that lake with out A GPS unit 25/30 years ago. Then I would use the timber to mark my trails. I live in Flint and it is a straight road to Ramp from my home. Guess I will be going to Rayburn more Just like I did 25/ 30 or more years ago.

30-35 years ago, you could see the timber and trails. Now, that wood is just under the surface.

Back in the day my friend had a 17'9" Ranger with a 140 Johnson. We thought that was a big boat, plenty to get around on Rayburn in rough conditions. I guess I just got old and scared...or smarter.

South wind most ramps should be ok, maybe Caney would be the exception.

Due south is about the best overall wind to launch at on Rayburn. Very few ramps with the exception of Rayburn park are directly affected
