Strictly hypothetically...if you were staying there on the lake 4 days...are there places to eat and stores to buy beer/snacks and things like that? Strictly hypothetically speaking It is in the middle of no where. Elm Creek and Concho Park marinas are on the far south and north ends respectively. They have grills and normal snacks. The closest 'big' town is Ballinger or Eden, both are minimum 30 mins from a launch, closer to 45. They have restaurants.

So with the whole lake filled with boats, how many were crushing the fish? Maybe the crowds will start to wane when they realize it’s not as easy a a few guys made it look. Especially if that snot moss comes back and you can’t run baits without fouling them out.

Strictly hypothetically...if you were staying there on the lake 4 days...are there places to eat and stores to buy beer/snacks and things like that? Strictly hypothetically speaking Sportsman’s is the only place within 25 miles for evening meal and beer store right there as well. To buy anything like a grocery store is 30 miles one way. Everything is booked in small towns within 30 miles so a room if you haven’t got it will probably be 60 miles. Store counted 70 at the elm creek ramp, lots of boats on lake and they don’t mind fishing on top of you, I learned that the hard way today. Have no idea how many was at concho today but I’d bet there were quite a few as well. I live 5 minutes from the ramp and 20 boat caravan coming in. Sounds about what my lake is like once it starts warming up....just hoping there arent any jet skis and pontoons in that caravan and should be better 😂 I promise I wont fish on top of you...even if youre on em. Holler at me if you see me....or at least dont start waking around me when you see a non-local LOL...red tracker with one seat and big helix that kinda looks stupid

Talk at ramp was smaller fish and I don’t give reports.

Talk at ramp was smaller fish and I don’t give reports. I only make it out there once or twice a year. Started going in 2009 I think and stopped in 2015 when I stopped fishing as much. Had some decent success back then. Fished it last year in early May and that was my first experience with that moss. Didn’t have nearly as much success and a whole lotta cussing going on about that slime😂 Think I threw an A-Rig twice and pulled in two pounds of moss each cast.

Sounds like what choke just experienced and falcon/amistad went through in their peak. Get it while it's hot cause it won't last forever

I left the elm creek ramp today at 12:30 and there were 27 rigs parked there.
It is busy but nothing like Fork busy or even a metro mess lake on a weekend.
We never had a problem of anyone fishing too close. The places we saw boats bunched up were groups like the 6th Sense guys fishing together.
Don’t go there thinking you will catch a bunch it is very tough fishing. If you are really good with a live scope you can catch them.
