I stopped by on my way home from a house remodel and went down to the boat ramp at Sandy Creek park. Has anybody fished the cove next to the boat ramp? It looks promising from a boat and from the bank. I was thinking on stopping after work and fishing the cove from 5-dark. Any input would be great. Thanks...

i've never fished it by bank but have a few times by boat. i've caught a few bass and whites in that area. good luck.

last time I was out there last year i think , there were bouy markers that said no boats beyond this point so keep an eye out. I don't know if they are still there or not.

I fished it once early this year when the lake was full, caught a couple small bass on senkos

I've launched my kayak there and fished several times and caught a few fish. Last time was about 2 months ago. Same as any other spot on Lake Travis if you ask me as far as quantity and quality of fish.

Great place to camp and fish overnight.

Thanks for the replies, I thought the camping might be a good idea. It seems like a good place to hang on the bank all night for some catfish tugging, or some live minnows on a bobber. I like the fact that it is kinda out of the way for the casual weekend traffic. I saw no wake bouys, but it looks like a boat could troll in. Looks like a great place to try my new kayak w/ trolling motor setup. Thanks for the info guys.

We call it Chemical Cove.


Back in the 70's, there used to be a few fuel drums(from when they cleared the lake) and a couple of other containers of ??? . The fuel drums have rusted away and the containers were later picked up when the lake dropped.

We used to carp fish at night on the point of land on the other side of the cove.

We'd stick our nose in it everytime we launched on that part of the lake. No memorable bass, though.

The curent or past lake record LMB was caught there if I'm not mistaken.

My buddy caught a 6lber in the back of that cove before the water went down. Not a bad cove to fish. One of the fish in my signature is from that cove on a crankbait.
