Have any of you been to Bastrop? The staff at cally and braunig need to take a trip up there and learn to run a nice park. The facilities at Bastrop are great, and it cost less to get in.....

Yup like i mentioned at bastrop that day i was freaking surprised with all that maintenance . Pretty clean ,nice management with all those cabins , nice restrooms . Wish bastrop was closer then calaveras haha !

If the park at Bastrop is a state park then it had better be nice, since every fisherman and taxpayer in the state is making that possible.

Nope, it is not a state park. There is a state park there, but we are talking about South Shore Park.

Yea I agree, Braunig can be rough if your bank fishing. I don't have a boat, however I stay farrrrr away from brauning & calaveras on weekends cause theres just tooooo much trash and disrespectful. I'm ok with people going out camping, kids playing and all, but people leaving trash around and me getting my lines tangled does kinda deter me.

Your right, the staff isn't the greatest, there just there. They don't know much about the park itself, just answer general questions. I personally don't think the fees are that bad though. $4-$10 for unlimited fishing and camping isn't too bad.

The parks at Bastrop Lake are LCRA parks. The state park is NOT on the lake.

[quote=jsb91010]yup... they are trying to turn "a whore into a housewife" ... those lakes are dumps and they should just leave em

lmao , i best not post my comment. wat too funny

I was at Calaveras yesterday. The fog was thick driving over there, and it also hung around for a couple of hours at the lake. Yes, I launched, but I didn't motor out into the eerie mist like most others. I used the trolling motor to fish the reeds and the dam, looking for LMB (there's none there). Later, I went to the wall, but nobody was catching anything there. So, I went to the bridge area, caught 2 'gills and 6 channel cats. Then, I went looking for LMB again (can't quit), and caught a big red. I kinda like Calaveras (no language barrier, I guess).

ohhh don't get me wrong i love those two lakes! mostly cali more than braunig but im not blind to the fact the lakes are trashy... i tell my friends we aren't here to sight see, we here to catch reds lol... doesn't stop me from being there weekly!

While we are on the annual pass gig.I always wanted one that says ,yourself,a boat and a companion.I probably should put a wig on my friends and say it,s my ugly spouse.
