I have not checked but to my knowledge the ramps are all open. If any are closed, I guess it would be the state parks, but there are still plenty of other ramps to use. The lake is still in good shape. The farther north you go there may be a few areas of boat lane that get fairly shallow. The tournament takeoff is going to be at Bridge Bay but I believe Phil said you can launch elsewhere and motor to the takeoff. Unfortunately, I have not been out in a couple of weeks, but starting this time of year we usually have a good topwater bite. That will be what I start with for sure and then some cranking both shallow and deeper. I am not a big fan of jigging in the grass but that will probably still be a good way to get bit on the south end. If I had any secrets I would tell but I havent been and Im no authority when it comes to the fish. I pretty much chunk and wind and hope to get lucky.Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console
