I'll be taking my first trip soon but my buddy and his dad fish there all the time. He isn't scared of the bad name. He tells me if you stay in the right part you're fine nothing to worry about.

And as those pics suggest he has always had a good day.

I heard that those folks ventured way too far into the mexican side, and doing things that people recommend you not do.

I have heard the lake is crazy low right now.
I am concerned with launches .

i know they use senkos and crankbaits and flip trees with brushhogs and heavy tungsten flipping weights, no idea what part of the lake, i know they fish the dam, i think they open it pretty often which creates current

makes me wonder how much pressure the mexican side really gets, bet there's some hammers waiting to be caught if you were ballsy enough...

he did tell me one story...they were fishing an area where they could see pretty good to the mexican side but still kind of far away...said they saw some trucks roll up the road in the distance and stop by a church and one dude walked out then walked back to the truck then he saw what looked like a couple of dudes carrying a body but wasn't certain...this is just what he told me

they went when it was really low, showed me some pics and said they had to launch the boat pretty much on the edge of the lake in the gravel...this is the same genius who once launched his bass boat in the mississippi river on a sandy bank behind the levee

The one I caught last year was well over 8. I hesitated to call her 10. Tigerfoot thinks 10 is in play.
