Hub City West Texas Anglers has a tournament scheduled in about three weeks at Hubbard Creek. Has anyone fished there lately or can you even launch a a boat there?
Thanks in advance for any info. Steve

I wanted to go there tomorrow, but I hear there is a rockpile behind the ramp? I do not know if this is true as I have not personal seen it.

The ramp is useable. Stay on the east side and angle it in. The drop off the ramp isn't as bad that way. My dad launched there with his 20' Procraft yesterday with no problem. Going straight in you may hang your trailer coming out.

Guys I would say you have a 80% chance of damaging your trailer right now. And if you launch off the old ramp and do get in just right watch out for the rock pile about 4" under the water when you back out, it will eat your prop and lower unit up. I am the last guy to say uncle but there is no way I would launch my 520 off either ramp. Hopefully we get rain soon or they extend the ramps somehow. The fishing is as tough there as anywhere else right now anyway. Temps in the mid 40's.

Let me get my dove fields done this week, then it can rain for a month if it wants..By the way, I'm 10 minutes from HC and I ain't using the ramp. Your going to need some luck to hit it just right, and I'm usually not that lucky..

Looking pretty grim. West Texas BLT has moved their Hubbard Creek tournament to PK and the other HC they have scheduled for May has its alternate sight as Leon. Running out of lakes.

Water is cold everywhere and the fish are pretty dormant. I talked with the guys at sandy creek yesterday and they are working on a boat ramp solution. They did put some bags of concrete at the end of the ramp where it dropped off so hopefully it can be used for a while without tearing your trailer up. I' going to try it later this week and ill report back.
