Does anyone know if they are still open? Trying to book some rooms for the spring!

try lake fork marina 903-765-2764 ...i did hear they were trying to seel fishermans though but hadnt heard they shut down or anything

It has closed...

Fishermans Cove: Closed
Rainswood: Closed
Axtons: ? Not sure where they stand right now.

Looks like Lake Fork Marina, Popes, Mustang Resort and Lake Fork Lodge on the West Side. The Minnow Bucket and Oakridge on the East Side.

Not sure who has ramps still usable.

I did see where Joe Spates has completely redone his ramp, said he dredged out big time and poured 80' of ramp. That is the one in the back of Little Mustang.

Please Lord send the rain to Texas, all of Texas.

Is the restaurant at Fisherman's Cove closed as well?

Yep Joe has done lots of work and has messed up my hole.

He shure neeed to work on it and now it looks awesome, I think the ramp is deeper than the creek channel.

It's a shame, I stayed out there a couple of times when the owner and his family had just bought it and took over. They seemed like they could make it work. Then the karaoke got started and it all seemed to go down hill. It just got kind of scummy. Maybe someone else will do better with it.

Lol.

Wow. Does anyone else have covered boat slips?

The question is, does anyone have boat slips with enough water under them to float a bass boat?

popes, the first set I think are daily rental, or may come with a room. Good fishin off the end..jim

Saw a giant bass in one of those stalls one day. There were people crappie fishing in the stalls, and the bass was trying to eat the crappie on their stringer. Didn't want anything to do with what we were throwing that's for sure.

The bank apparently reposessed Fishermans Cove and it is in bankruptcy. The owners sent a letter to all the people keeping their boats in storage to move them immediately. Everyone lost any money they paid in rent and have been told there will be no refunds. Not sure if the people who owned trailers were told to leave or not.

The place was such a dump it is hard to believe they will find new buyers who want to do extensive rehab on virtually everything.

yep, its sad but those folks out there are having some real money troubles...I know the Minnow Bucket is really in need of repairs but if people stay away from the lake I'm sure the owners are having troubles paying for the repairs...they need a healthy buiness to keep up with docks, ramps, restaurants etc...

Joe did some great work on his ramp!!! That is where I keep my rig. When idling away hug the trees, its only about 3' deep over there. They could only reach out to dredge so far. Definetly stay to the right of the concrete pillar. If the lake keeps dropping his ramp will only be usable for so long. Also, he was trying to decide on the launch fee. He invested a ton of money to redo that ramp and has to recoop it from somewhere.
