Squaw Creek Update

Website says Jan 8th, maybe. Anyone have any additional information to share?

Just think, all those 2 lb bass yall catch will be 2.1 pounds now

like food at the buffet...it's not very good but there sure is a bunch of it.

Well that’s good news

Excellent news... little man just turned 6, and want him to learn the art of the thump.... no better place to teach a kid to worm fish.

I heard they are limiting it to 60 boats a day. Temp checks at the ramp and mask required while on property (on and off water)

I have to wear mask anyway to keep from being followed

Lol

Are you ready for victory laps by yourself?

Being that my boat is still not dropped off at shop probably not. That said you never can tell. I can net my own fish just as good as borden could net them........

Lolz. Can we talk about a possible trade? Maybe you can come fish with me since my partner is so burned out and leave yours in garage.

On their website it has read January 8 at the earliest, with a validation date sometime in December, for months now.

We would need to dirty that boat of yours up, I need to be surrounded by chaos and filth to get mentally focused. The 4 lb fish take alot of zen type [censored] , hours upon hours of mental preparation goes into taking money from the world class anglers that frequent that place.

I will pull it through the mud holes on way. 😂


Maybe hit a guardrail or 2!

Sh** that's dedication

Do what you got to do!! Winning is all that matters!

That's over kill, maybe throw banana bread wrappers and empty miller light cans all over it. That would make me feel like the ghost of borden was riding with us

We didn’t go all the way through the guard rail Busted off 5 posts but the rail held up

And if you could complain about my driving that would help too

And scream stump randomly, yeah I'd feel right at home

That was that damn gas stations fault for being out of ice.

We didn't catch 60+,might have boatd in the 30
should,we didn't have fun expept alot more thie time of yearhope you get ready you'll be calling mr or E-MILK to a foods donatiom,,,Arter drin some red bullmdnd Vodlea

I may dust off the rods for some fine pot licking activities.

Maybe a guide trip with borden?????

There you are my Minion, the one and only!

I just want to fish for Tilapias!

I would gladly take another guide trip with Borden and tip him with a kick in the nuts for shaking fish off right in front of my eyes.

Lol

I miss posting the money pics, that was the best part of the whole deal.

January 8th is my birthday!!

In remembrance of historic post in TFF history December 7th should be national Iceman day

the iceman will live forever

Well they guys below seem to know something the rest of
Don’t know .Is the lake open or not or are they just blowing smoke

Do we still have to turn off lights off when backing down? Asking for a friend.

Rut Roh😳

Just wear white sunglasses and tell people that the water is your stadium.

I still don't think think squaw will open. Why only open for 3 months? They have to pay contractors to run the park and then for only 3 months.. Just does make sense to me but then again what do I know..

I will be first on the water.

This doesn’t work as well as one might think. Most of the time people just look at me funny.

You should do that everywhere, dont be the rookie at the ramp.

Oh hell no I just upgraded my headlights on my truck to the brightest lumens allowed by law. I be damn if I am turning these suckers off now.

I will try to send these back then. I tried to buy the boat ramp package

you should go to a high school boat launch. I just sit there and shake my head and think what would WAWI do in this situation? it's shameful.

creepy...

By far, the post of the century! Get out there on your BD and try to catch one fish for every year you've been on this earth.

If I find out there is a HS Tourney on a lake I will avoid it a few weeks before and then of course on D-Day. My wife gave a bunch of my old tackle to one of her students, then the next year she got a call from the parents wanting to know if I would be a boat captain, she told them I'm sure he would, let me get back to you, I said "NO", she started in with but I thought.......... - I cut her off and said "Hell NO"

This reminds me of drinking my dads Pearl Beer back in the 80's, you know the ones that had the writings on the inside of the bottle cap with pics that you had to decipher what the saying was?

Bradley Hallman launching this morning.......

Now Luminant website says Feb. 12 😐

They are not going to re-open this until they are 100% sure their employees are not at risk.

That will be the day

Idiot co angler probably backing him in

I captained for 3 years, it's a train wreck of knuckleheads.

Starting to look like a “tackle warehouse order delivery”.

For sure.

February will be the earliest open date. Reevaluate covid problem in January.

Luminant will keep it private from now on

Or charge even more!

I took off work 1/8 to fish Squaw. Guess I’ll go to Welsh instead. Just wanna go catch a bunch!

That is retarded, go live in a bubble

Let me tell you its a goshed darn miracle there's not been someone killed, oh wait Pickwick

Another year shut would do it good. Then we can burn it in one tourney season.

I wouldn't be opposed to a fee hike.. Keep some of the crowds down.

Mask required ON THE WATER? Are you [censored] kidding me

They are not going to open because they don't want to and more importantly they don't have to. Covid is a good excuse. Simple as that.

Shoot train wreck is putting it nicely.

Yippers. Do a. huge utility like that it's not like the $$$ makes any difference. Just taking the easy way out. Same as Monty.

When was the COUNTY PARK on Monticello closed while the plant was operational? Huge difference between the two. Luminant looses money operating that park, it’s a head ache for them and they simply do not want to do it and will use every excuse to not honor their agreement to provide recreation to the county as one of the many reasons they offered to be allowed to build the plant in the first place in Somervell County. Corporate Fishing Hole.

its not that their employees are at risk this just shows that they dont want the regular folks out there.

They just don’t want the headache. At 20-25k a week I surprised they don’t open back up.

If its being used very little the rest of the year close it in the warm months. Up the d@mn entry fee for the winter months, people will pay it. I now its stupid but I would.

Always cracks me up when people say it loses money. It only loses money in the sense that all cash businesses "lose money". Have you ever seen a cash business that actually makes money on paper? At the bare minimum it has the ability to not lose money if it was operated correctly. Especially under the new operation schedule. It's easy for a mega corporation to shovel over a bunch of expenses to a part of the operation they don't want to be involved in to begin with. The fact is it could never make enough money to even register for a company like Luminant. Therefor they will look for any excuse they can not to honor their agreement. Covid is the best excuse ever. For everything.

It will reopen

One thing about covid you found out real fast who the lazy people were.

I wish Monticello would open back up. Has anyone heard anything about that lake?

They don't make money on squaw creek. Does the company lose money? I don't know but Luminant did file bankruptcy in 2014. It cost around $500,000 to run the park for what I am told but they make $225,000 off the park being open... That is from a friend that works there. I do know that all Luminant properties do not allow any visitors at this time and that is why the park is closed. I don't think it will open Feb. 12th.. It will be in Oct. before they open up again..

If it costs more for the total yearly maintenance, upkeep, salaries, equipment..... than you take in at the gate than it looses money. But YES they are going to milk COVID forever. Heck, I can’t remember how many years they milked 911 as a crutch to not open.

Covidious 1-niner sucked the life out of the tilapia pit

What is 9 years and 8 months, Alex?
