I will NEVER fish LA in April on a saTURDay again. We fished a BassChumps T this weekend started around 6:15 and weigh in at 3:00. The fishing was ok and the morning was great.... Then all hell broke loose around 11:00 and by 1:00... Lets just say we were dodging wake boats, pleasure boats, pontoon boats, bass boats, flat bottom boats. sail boats, boats,boats,boats... I don't see how more people don't get seriously hurt out there. It was BRUTAL... Lesson learned...
BTW, Bucky won it with 13+ and a 6+ lb kicker big bass... You can't get his head through a door right now...
Why do you think it has full time police coverage? I just wish they would come upriver a little more often, but i can understand that they get overrun by the Hula Hut to 360 crowd.
LA on the weekends is like boating on the interstate.
Zdawg. I know a lot of good fish every year come off of River Austin not lake Austin. I would not put my wife and myself in that kind of danger. I dont care how big those river fish are.I want to really tell you how I feel about Austin and the people on that river but I would probably piss a lot of Asstinites off. I`m also on your web site. Tell Tom I said hi. Dunlap is the same. A bunch of no caring wake boarders, ski boats and assholes. Choke and Fayette. Safe out their.
They expect you to dodge them cause you do. However if you didn't they would have to be careful too.
Like Austin bike riders, once they get it through their heads that their being killed on Austin roadways, they will take resposibility for themselves. Legislators made laws protecting bikers now they act as if vehicles have no rights on roadways, same idiots on the Lake that drive these roadways.
Me myself I don't care how many laws there are that protect me, I protect myself, & my mother like yours told you to be careful in the streets on your bike when you were just a snot-nosed kid.
Can't wait till these idiots start acting like their as intelligent as their college education indicates. No common sense
Roofish.Can I send 100,000 likes? I gave up my bycicle when I got a drivers license. Thanks to that ****** lance Armstong everybody wants to be him. No common sense is right. Oh... hold on I think I will get up in the morning ride down Fitzhugh road and dodge traffic. Maybe even ride down 360 and ride real close to the shoulder with traffic wizzing by. No wait ..I cant forget my water bottle. Damn.. even if I`m lucky I can dodge traffic on I35 in rush hour. How about riding on lady bird river. Look at snatch and hope I dont fall in the river. What was I thinking?
What about the wakeboarders and skiiers? doesn't anyone care about their feelings? just kidding. this is such a long term rivalry that is really one sided for the most part. It's basically anglers hate skiiers, and skiiers don't care. I used to see skiers and jet skis on my home lake of lake arlington, and I would think-those bastards. So I understand this issue since childhood. Now, I actually have a ski boat. I have had bass boats come really close to us on Lake Austin. It's a narrow lake and that is going to happen, whether it's intentional or not. Just before you decide to buzz a ski boat, remember they could be mooring and have people swimming around the boat, or a downed wakeboarder that you may not see because of a wave,etc...
It is what it is. If you want to fish LA, go early during the week, or late at night. Luckily, I write my own schedule, so I can, and do avoid the rude, irresponsible, and downright dangerous weekend crowds. I'm probably trading pieces of scenery, for peace in fishing however.
I will still take wake austin mid day on a saturday over some of the other lakes around here. At least I almost always catch nice fish there. You just have to hold on and hope for the best. Two weeks ago I did catch a wake boat with a jig on braid, and I though I was actually gonna lose my entire rod and reel. IT SUCKED. The wake boarder was apologizing profusely, because It finally broke and I was picking up another rod to snatch his ass off of that board. If you can speak to the guy on the board they are a little too close. But hey its all in good fun...
Wouldn't it be cool if the City would designate the lower part of the lake for ski boats, and the upper part of the lake for fishing boats, using City Park as the dividing line? Anybody know someone on the City Council?
I'm not hating on LA at all. I love the lake and the Asians in it... Just saying we made a huge mistake in the scheduling... I knew what I was getting into... Like Ando said... "Pecker, Raincoat, Peeing, Hurt... balh blah blah"
Bassn, you should have kept your own advice and kept your mouth shut. "Thanks to that ****** Lance Armstrong..." Really? That statement alone lets everyone know your an a$$hole and I'd say his work with Cancer far outweighs any negatives. But back to my point, you're an a$$hole and I'll take solace in the fact you won't be sharing LAKE (Go Fish the River Falcon) Austin with me.

Lance armstrong is actually quite rude, i have dealt with him before and he was well a dick, also my dad did some work on his corvette several years ago at a chevrolet dealership and he was a very picky, snobby yuppie
Triumph - I've got your back on this one. He's a 5 star turd and there's lots of stories to substantiate it. Not sure why the rest of the cyclists wanna wear the LanceLookALike yellow jerseys and spandex all up and down 360. I'll leave it alone from here. Sure don't want a bunch of flamers in spandex cold trailing me for trashing their hero!

I kind of remember getting lit up in the back seat of an expedition last year... I think I was in the Lake bastrop state park. Could of been a dream though... Best dream ever.. Party on.
