2016 Texas Moomba/Supra Jam

"...fill my front bag to go through there to lift the rear end up some."

I was thinking similarly. If I had shifted my passengers to the front of the boat, I don't think I would have rubbed. but I certainly wasn't expecting 1.5' and it comes up on you fast. lol. Bottom line, it's passable today. And w/more and more traffic thru there, it might get better over the next 2 weeks.

Also, as you enter the river from the mouth of the cut, I think you want to stay right in the middle or somewhat to the left. I was fairly far right on the way out into the river and rubbed again. no harm done. just sand. But I was sure glad to see the depth go to 30+ feet once in the river ;-)

Yeah if they can maintain some steady traffic over the next few weeks it should get better. Randell needs to send a jet ski through there pulling a mushroom anchor over and over again lol. Scoop a little out each time

T-minus one week! Our sources from the river say the cut and river are M O N E Y!

It looks like we'll be there just for the day. We're taking my son and some friends out for his birthday. Do y'all think Bethy Creek will be too crowded just for launching and truck/trailer parking? Or should we put in at the bridge? Any idea about how many boats will be there on Saturday?

Looks like we will have around 20 boats, I think you will be fine launching at Bethy Creek, there is overflow truck and trailer parking up by there storage units. Just be sure to pay $5 to launch if you are not staying there. Will you be able to stay for the dinner and raffle?

We could quite possibly stay for dinner/raffle. Do we need to pay anything up front or can we settle up for any expense at the event?
We also could have some room for an extra rider or two. My boys are just getting into wakeboarding and they would enjoy seeing someone throw down. They've been bitten by the bug and it's all they can think about.

So dinner is free, paid for by Rinkers Boat World, raffle tickets will be for sell at the event and will run $5 each or 5 for $20 and shirts will run $5 each. All payments for everything will be collected at the event

Hey everyone! Here is some information on the event that you can save to your mobile device or print out. We will also have some available at the table where we will be selling raffle tickets and shirts. Can't wait, two more days!

Which cut did Cole say was good to go? I have not taken the rail cut, only the main narrow one

I took both last year. The rail cut is longer with some shallow spots if I recall.

The start of it did make me nervous for some reason coming out of Bethy.... Probably due to being unfamiliar with it.

I would love to side scan sonar that whole thing though just to get an idea of what is where from Bethy - through the cuts. But alas my fishing days are behind me & so are the toys I had then.
