I heard there are some big bass in there. Anybody ever been? I read you can launch a boat there, but you have to stay at idle.

You might check out the website before making a trip over there, it shows that beginning in June it was slated to be undergoing some renovation.

That would be Lake Raven. $4 entry last I was down that way. Haven't fished there yet, seen some youtube videos from there. I know there's a big gator rumor about the place. We're planning to hit it soon as well...

http://www.youtube.com/user/fishingintexas has a bunch of episodes

I guess I'll have to throw out some beer cans to deflect the missile

never been to Raven but I thought it was electric motor only and prime time is April - May with topwaters. Lot of lilypads, cattails and gators.
