Boys I live there and my bass boat isn't touching the water! I'm fishing out of my gator trax mud boat. If you run anywhere you better have good insurance! Every lane out there even in the river people are pounding stumps. I suggest you idle if you go. But good luck and be safe!

If the lake drops about another foot or less the launch at pirates will be unusable. That launch is good til 161 and the lake is around 161.45

What about Fin and Feather ???

We were getting a group together from work to head that way after the first cold front ...

Is there enough water to putt around and fish in marsh rigs ???

Thanks,
Hydro

From what I see that launch closes at 162', if you look at

Toledo Bend Lake - Boat Launch Elevations

I called them a week ago and "she" said they were working on the ramp and lanes ??? Not sure exactly what "she" was getting at but they were still able to launch boats...

Might have to do a recon run up there before our trip...

If it doesn't get up any more, no one will be fishing it. It will just be a river pretty soon.
