The drawdown lasts until Feb 16th,  few Kayakers should be out Sunday afternoon if I can get out there.

boat launch ramps are pretty useless right now.... bring a kayak, canoe, float tube, carry a Jon boat or the like.

No surprise to me that someone could get a lake record, especially during the drawdown. I posted a couple weeks ago on ABF, that this would be the time to go after the lake record, during the drawdown..

Congrats to John!

However, there still several more weeks before LCRA will fill up Marble Falls. And I bet there are some even bigger bass in there. No one ever fishes that lake. Too many other lakes to fish close by...IMO.

True, I need to get a record there, taking kayak out Sunday afternoon.

Probably a jon boat or bassbuster could get around out there. maybe just kayaks and float tubes and canoes ... see photo here http://www.austinbassfishing.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1232123013

Stripers & crappie records need breaking, I'll see what I can do.

I don't fish for catfish, but they have some huge ones in there too.

I think that John Ratliff is from Lampasas & fished Tourneys at Travis before, about 44 years old, if It's who I'm thinking of.
