I just saw that a member of the Woodson family announced the closing of the landing. It had become my go-to given the often bad condition of the Open Bayou road. Is there another landing open on Big Creak?

Why are they closing the landing?

Sounds like the parents can no longer do it and the son isn't interested.

The conditions of the roads in and around the greater Saline/Larto complex is more than disappointing. It's one of the main reasons I don't fish it as much as I'd like. I've always launched at Phil's landing off Cross bayou and seems like I have to fix something on my trailer or boat after every trip.

I may be done. While I was not a huge fan of the run from Woodson's, I am not dealing with dust and mud with the current boat.

That sucks.
I wonder why they don’t try and sell it.

That makes sense…hardly a high dollar operation!

I have to think that will eventually happen. Problem is, what are the chances a buyer wants to operate a pay ramp? Sure wish the State provided better access.

I always had to pay when I launched my boat there.
Also got some revenue from people that had their campers there.

Hate to hear that.I always liked him,haven’t been there in quite a few years.
I remember once he fell off a ladder and broke his back,I believe.Was in a big cast in a wheelchair for awhile.He and his wife were there for awhile,she had to do every thing.She didn’t seem very happy about it.

I heard a story about him getting in a shootout when he was a Sheriff deputy,I was told he was shot 5-6 times.
I never asked him about it.

I remember him wearing a brace for a while.
