They're some real friendly local guys on here that can help you out.

I also happen to know a good guy who guides there if you’re interested 🤔

I don't have the typical over-exuberance of most people going to the lake. I have warned my fishing buddy that this will be tough fishing. However, I have never been, and at least want to fish it once in my life. Clearly it has had big fish in it, and if they were there last year they are still there. I understand the lake has come up quite a bit since last year, so the fishing spots are a little different from what people may have known before. I fish mostly Lake Travis, so I am familiar with how major lake level changes can affect things. I actually welcome this. I did not know there was a problem with theft in the trailer parking, or maybe that is just an insider joke that I am missing. It seems that everyone is fishing Elm Creek, so I will probably avoid that area, even though when I was looking at Google Earth it seemed like the best place to go for the weather next week. I have identified a couple of other places where I will probably start out.

I like to be that guy who everyone looks at and thinks either I am an idiot or else I know something nobody else does. :-) Looking at lodging options, I am thinking it may be a better idea to just make the 2 hour drive back and fourth each day from home. Slim pickings and outrageously priced for what they are. I guess when you are the only cabin in town you can charge whatever "cleaning fee" you want. I hate VRBO and AIRBNB.

So, if anyone has a recommendation for a place to stay for a couple nights and a couple hundred bucks where the boat is safe, please let me know. That is really the main piece of info I need right now.
