Border lakes

Trying to take tripmforst week of February from Chicago with wife and dogs. Coming from Chicago to escape the the cold. Was wondering if falcon or amistad is safe to fish. Or good for fishing at that time. We would be camping in a truck camper. We have a 17ft Lund impact boat deep v with a 115 horse and a 9.9 horse. Would also try for bass any input on safety fishing and campground

usualky do Florida in winter but trying to change it up

Absolutely can be a dangerous place if one crosses the middle of the lake to the Mexican side, could be a huge problem!

Are there other South Texas lakes that don't sit on the border that have good crappie fishing?
