Tough @ Toledo
 

Fished yesterday and this morning, wind blew us to hell and back... Just a couple of keepers we gave to another fisherman...

Launched out of Buckeye, water extremely low around launch... Stuck boat yesterday afternoon returning to ramp...

NS boat lane going North out of Caney Creek bumped stumps, South to Boons Crossing ok but any further South and water goes to 2' on West side of lane...

Crazy dangerous out there :eek:

Will be back on a not so windy weekend, if the water doesnt drop out anymore...

Almost yak only lake. Love the fact though that if u are able to get out there it's pretty much just u and mother nature

Pic coming back into Buckeye :shaking:

Only two foot or so of the ramp extends into the water, drops off after that but not enough to snag your trailer...

off topic but what kind of boat you in?

G3, model 1652 DK in the Mossy Oak Shadowgrass

I fished out of pirates cove yesterday, 10-7-11. It was a slow day and winds was bad. Did manage my limit. Only caught maybe 15 fish that day, but had 8 nice keepers. Didn't have my camera so not pics.

Below is some pictures my buddy sent me from last weekend. They are pics of pirates cove boat launch. They dug it out and added 50ft of concrete to the launch. I launched my bay boat yesterday with no trouble.

Cool pics from Pirates, looks like they got rid of that death-trap of a floating boat stall thing as well...

Yea hope they build another one.

Anyone have any pics of the old city that was flooded or anything like that? I'm enjoying these low water pics

toledobend.com is a good site to look at... Pics of the dam and generator station while under construction... Also has a good history of the lake article...

I'm at the camp now and the wind is blowing about 20 mph. Of course I can't see h2o from my water front property!?!?!?!?
Be safe out there!!

Thanks for the detailed report of the conditions. i havent been up in a couple months, and we mostly just gps'd spots for when the water comes back up. nice to see some places taking the oportunity to upgrade their facilities.

Thanks for the update on Pirates launch. I'm up here now at my camp Quiet Cove area. Glad to hear Pirates is back in operation. Didn't fish this weekend, my son and grandson came up for the youth hunt at our deer lease. Neighbors 11 yr. old shot a nice doe.

Just past Pendleton Bridge on the Tx side, the next bridge over that cove with that public launch a cement road is sticking out of the water.

That pic of pirates is nuts. cant wait to get back out there.

Anyone heading to the Bend needs someone to fish, let me know. I am ready for a trip. Can stay at my camp at Buckeye.

That wind can be a killer up there.
