Which ramp would you guys use if you did not plan on driving too much over lake to fish for short period? Thanks.

If you're stuck with a strong north wind you might be better off launching at Beacon Lodge and shooting accross to Salado or up the river. Talk to FLT or someone that knows the lake when you get down there.

I sure would not want to be in Mexican waters and get asked for one and not have it. Lets see...... 60 dollars for license vs $50,000 dollar boat and another 15 to 20 thousand in electronics and tackle that you could have taken from you...........Who in their right mind would not have a license. Just my thoughts tho. Everyone should really do what they think best....

Hate to say it but if they want your stuff, having a mexican license isn't going to stop them but I agree it is the "right" thing to do but then again I dont' think I would want to wait around for an odd boat to approach me while fishing in Mexico Launch in Tigers and fish there, all the fishing you need to do can be done there!

Heading SE on 83 from Zapata towards the State Park, shortly after you cross the Big Tigres bridge there will be a steel gate over a cattle guard on the right(Gate GPS coordinates N 26 43.878' W 99 6.805'). Be sure to latch the gate after you go through. Stay on the dirt road till it ends at the mobil homes. Be sure to stay straight on the dirt road at the one intersection on the right about half way down the dirt road. Look at the road on Google Earth. Let's Fish
