It is what you make it. Lots always complain about the lines but with a little planning, that can be avoided. I am part of a group of guys (12-15) who have been doing this for almost 20 years now. 4 RV spots lined up almost a year in advance, each "crew" cooks one night for the others. Drink a few brews,BS around a fire and just have fun and relax. Best 4 days of the year. Absolutely the same thing we do... If you show up at 5:50 to launch a boat and think you are going to get in quick and that you are going to have "your secret hole" all to yourself all weekend, you will not have a good experience. Most all the guys we meet are as courteous as can be, but there's always a few idiots anywhere you go. Going to spend a few days with great friends and enjoy a couple days of fishing...if we catch anything good enough to win a few dollars, that's just gravy.

I heard lots of bad about Mcdonalds on fork also. It is what you make it. I've been fishing it for several years now, we have only ran across one really rude boater in all that time. Everyone is usually courteous and respectful. We are going to try Rayburn this year. The perfect attitude! Go there to have a good time and enjoy yourself!

Nice, covered with electricity. That's definitely the way to go. They don't reserve those though. It's first come first serve on site.

Whatever the boat is rated for, so if the sticker says 6, you could fish 6 if you wanted.
