Park wil prolly be fine. Spawn MAY be over by then, but I think it is gonna be a couple of weeks later than average, so there may still be fish on the banks. I personally like Piney Woods and Wolf creeks in may, and the Hugh White Landing is right there for both of them. I will probably be spider rigging again by then.

The ramps you can use also depends on the water levels at that time.

That wat our main concern was if we missed the spawn by a week or two a lot of our fish at home move out and dnt feed or do much to recop energy then it's like a light switch and they feed hard then another wave of late spawn fish move up and it's good again but there is a period were it Is not good fishin so hopin we dnt hit that time frame of so we just have to settle with wat we get , is there good fishin around we're went camping we been doin a lot of lookin on the upper end of the lake in wat I would call the north fork ... Is there a bait shop close to our campin place and howuch r minnows they sell by pound or by the doz ... U think focusing on brush more so the time were comin or troll creek channels and creek arms

Yeah I've heard the ramps can be a pain sometimes wats the lake now around 200'or lil below , wat is ideal conditions lake gage wise

Love to see it at 215 myself (summer pool), lot of things will change between now and then. As far as bait, you can buy it by the pound in several places like Lakeway and Bs, might want to bring a cooler to keep bait at the cabin so if you are using the ramp at the state park you don't have to come out and around. Water should be over the old hwy by then and the only way in and out of there is RUFF.

201.22 this morning. Right now only 2 or 3 ramps are useable. Not much brush in the water now either, mostly stumps and timber.

Like RG said, the lake will probably change a lot between now and your planned trip.

Alright thanks for the info very much helpful and appriceated , when it's closer to the time we come I will probly reply back to u in a pm and check wat is goin on down there , hope that's not much trouble

That would be good. If you pay attention to everyone's pics and posts between now and then you can probably get an idea of how the lake is changing and the fish are relating to it.
