We have been out. Clear Lake is not too bad. No real reports of anything in the main parts of the lake. I would still stay in the main channels. The channel from Clear Lake to Taylor Lake has several boats sunk in it. I would not go into Taylor Lake just yet. Tommy H. hit a sunken dumpster in his small boat a couple of weeks ago. The tides have been very low, that would be what would keep me from going out right now. Clear Lake is not very deep and with the low tides I would be very careful. I would stay out int the main channels in Galveston Bay. Other than Outriggers no one else has opened up. Top Water is still closed and looks like it may be a while. I think there will be a lot of debris sunk on that side of the bay. Hope this helps and be careful. I know a couple of boats are thinking about going out this weekend. Check out the new Topps website and see if anyone is going.

Lake Travis is very low, but I still plan to be in Devil's Cove 50 to 60 times this year.

We've been from the San Jac to Clear Lake a couple of times - stayed in the channel and no problems - I wouldn't "sneak" against the west bank headed to Morgans Point from Clear Lake just yet. Cass is taking the 38 out today - not sure where he's headed... probably that way.
Be safe ...

I just sold one of my ski boats and the new owner was out all day yesterday and today - no problems anywhere from West of the 146 bridge all the way to Egret Bay Bridge, including behind my house, SShore harbor, and Davis Road Channel(s).
However, with that being said... If the Skater was here, I still don't think I'd put it in.

I am thinking that we are going to spend some time at Lake Travis and Conroe this year. We are already getting the LTPR schedule for their PR events. Even if Travis is low it still is a great lake. A couple of guys went out this weekend and I have not heard of any problems, but they stayed in the main channels. Once Bitten(Keith) has been out in his Whaler and nas not seen or had any problems. But then Murphy's law is my guide. If it is out there, I will find it.

Well went out and had a spectacular time. Was pretty choppy in the bay, but we hit it hard and even got the boat airborn twice. What an awesome feeling!!! The weather held out for us until about 4:30pm, so we loaded up and went to the bar.
Overall, the boat ran flawlessly... I did a great job driving, docking and loading the boat... and everyone on board had a blast. What a great day of boating. The only thing I would have liked to change is the weather. Sunny all day would have made this a perfect day.

We thought about going out, even got the boat ready. But the wind looked like it would have the bay too chopped up. We went to Outriggers for lunch and a beer instead. What boat do you have? We watched a few come in to the channel, mostly blow boaters. Are you a memeber of Topps of Clear Lake?

Yeah we stopped at Outriggers for lunch but it was around 3pm or so. I have a white 31 Sonic and it has a TOPPS sticker on it, but I cant remember if I ever actually joined. LOL.
It was a bit windy and the bay was definitely choppy, but we had so much fun thrashing about out there. I just don't know where to go out there, so we just ran around Clear Lake and made a few trips out to play in the bay. The weather was nice until around 4pm, so we loaded up and went to the bar. LOL.
There were a bunch of sail boats out and I think they got a little mad at us for blowing by them in the bay, but damn... I tried to stay away from them as much as possible. Not my fault they prefer wind power...lol.
Im dying to make more friends with big boats so they can show me where to go out there and just hang out together on the water. I just love being out there in the boat....

A bunch of us decided to stick around for Memorial Day weekend. We will be out running during the weekend, not sure about Monday, it gets kind of crazy, probably go raft up somewhere.
Niceguy, catch up with us and join Topps, best way to learn your way around Clear Lake and the Bay. It was rough this weekend. We went to Top Water for our monthly meeting and it was a washing machine out there in the Bay. Our poker run is coming up the weekend of June 19-20. It will be a good time. If any of you guys see us, just flag us down. I have a 42 Fountain Ex, "Perfect Timing", a buddies 30' Super Boat, "Once Bitten", or our mechanics 35 Fountain Ex,"CLPBS.COM". We would like to meet you.:seeya:

Gerrit, I have tried to Join on the website, but couldnt get it to work. Oh and great news.... we will be out this Saturday. We are gonna launch Sat morning around 11am. Where are you guys gonna be? Your mechanic is from CLPBS? He knows my boat (if it's the guy I am thinking of), he used to work on this boat and I actually met him when I bought it.
Anyways, I'd love to meet everyone. Call me when you know the game plan, I am gonna PM you my number.

The easiest palce to find anyone is in the Kemah Channel area or around Outriggers Restaurant just before the bridge.
