Things are coming together nicely for me and are looking up. I'll probably know tomorrow afternoon what my final position will be. Doesn't sound like anyone is planning on an early morning? I don't want to miss the calm water.

I think the forecast said 4mph winds so water should be pretty calm all day.  Jody confirmed he will be there also, so far:

1.  Shimp
2.  Jody
3. TTJ (Jereme)
4.  Henry

Let's get some more!  And if you want to come hang out (without your boat if it's not ready, etc) then just come on out.  We will probably hang out at Pecan.
:smile18:

Sorry Becket you'll be home for the Good Friday event down at Altair right?
Nope  :sad: I will be somewhere on the ocean on that day, we are "supposed" to get of the Rig on the 18th.

That sucks.

Anywayz, Somerville is OVER full by more than 2 feet now, YES the lake has gone up 12-13 feet in just 3 months because of all the rain.

See yall there Saturday.

BTW:  Pecan has always been a hangout for jetboats, long before I owned one I hungout there with my little Baja boat (16 footer) and there was always Jets over there.  The cove is smooth water for playing and because the park and the ramp is free, it's a popular spot.  Although to use that ramp, you need a 4x4 to launch/recover your boat/trailer, I've tried it many times with 2x4 with "normal" tires and never been able to get the boat back out of the water.  Tried it with 3 different trucks, one of which was a Suburban, always had to get pulled out by another truck, but there used to ALWAYS be someone there waiting to pull people out and didn't charge for it, but you could donate them another beer or something if you wanted to!  Those were the days, doubt it's like that anymore.

TTJ:  My goal is to be at the ramp around 12-1 ish as my usual.  Most likely will put in at Rocky Creek ramp.    The same ramp we hungout at during Welchfest is the one I usually use, Rocky has two ramps the first one was closed by the low lake level, it's probably back open, but I never use that one I go down to the second one (the one we were at during Welchfest).

Kewl, I talked to Jody and found out that I have been to Pecan, by Boat only but I have been there. I hope they dont let any water go, it would be nice if the grass was killed off and there were some Beaches to hang on.
I will see ya'll on the water some day!  Ya'll have fun and above all, be SAFE!  :smile17:

Am I the only one that is just now learning about the Cajun festival on Friday and Saturday at Somerville? Just heard it on the radio. Is the ball back to the Gibbons side of the court or is Somerville still the place to be?
