You'll have to show me where Devil's Cove is. I'm planning on riding Travis this Saturday if its open and chase some cruiser wake. Is that a good spot for it? Otherwise I'm driving out to Pace Bend (or launch at Lago Vista and ride over).
A few different peeps bump this thread when they have plans for riding in Austin area: http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=85375&page=11
Feel free to do the same :)
no prob i can show you anytime.....lake opens today at 1pm by the way,,, near devils is choppy but way more cruisers than out by pace bend.... we ride to devils everyweekend, just let me know when you'll be out.

I'll be out on the quad this Sat. Might take the SJ out and re-jet the carbs this week

Let's do it then. Is there a ramp fee at Devil's? Any shore line? When's a good time to chase boats on Sat? After lunch?
Come on, Johnny. If you ride that 4 wheeled thing, you're just going to break something again :)

Chris have you been out the Trails End? because you can ride from Trails end to Devils cove. Ron and I did it last summer
ya theres no ramp near devils...its surrounded by sandra bullock and russel crows house....
trails end is probably a good place,, is that in sandy creek arm or near the dam??
no shore line now as the lake is more than full...anytime here is good to chase boats... ******in boats all over the place.
my names remy...phone number is 512-809-7234 just text me when you go on saturdays, let me know where youll be at...im usually on the water by noon......but i jump the cruisers then go drink and party with the ladies in devils...

Trails End is gone I just went by this afternoon to check it out

Might be best to go to Devil's then. Remy, can you paste a link to it on Yahoo or Google Maps or something?
N 30 26.783
W 097 56.783
thats the coordinates.... should be able to copy and paste that in to google earth..

Link to Yahoo Maps (http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=m&q3=30.432253%2C-97.942094&q2=30.47331%2C-97.910332&q1=30.44875%2C-97.948739&trf=0&lon=-97.912517&lat=30.451892&mag=4)
So, to get to Devil's Cove at (A), do you drive there? It looks like a pretty far ride for a standup from Trail's End (B). Or do you put in at Carlos N Charlies (C)?
haha from b to a is nothing at all...maybe a mile and a half or 2 if that........i launch 17 miles up river at pacebend/briarcliff.....

eeek 17 miles on a standup
Yeah, well he ain't riding that 17 miles down river on his CRF450, so I'm guessing its his 2000 gp1200r offshore stage II +
I'm still dreading the 1.5 miles from TE, knowing how choppy Travis gets around the corner.

I would like to know were on TE you are going to launch cuz the shoreline is gone
eeek 17 miles on a standup
haha hell no.....thats why i got a sitdown cuz the 34 mile roundtrip!!
Prem1x
07-17-2007, 06:47 PM
I think I will ask Mr. Davenport at the corner there if he has any room for me to park and then roll the ski(s) down on a dolly

damn is 1.5 miles really that bad on a standup??
its so damn choppy cuz the cruisers are throwing out some sick wake!!:Banane01:

you could launch from the road like a ramp so no need for a dolly it was more of the parkin I was thinkin about that would be an issue
Prem1x
07-17-2007, 06:51 PM
I've done it before. No biggie. Its just not the most fun thing, plus our gas tanks aren;t as big.
So, Johnny, does this mean you are thinking of going?
the lake has been going down a foot a day.. and right now its only three feet above full, so there should be shoreline at trails end...

Yeah, I'll meet you over there if you tell me where. Are you talking about that boat ramp? How much $ is it?
banjo5
07-18-2007, 11:04 AM
its a private ramp.
someone needs to make this TRAVIS thread a sticky
JonnyB
07-18-2007, 05:18 PM
So, Jonny, does this mean you are thinking of going?
yeah I am thinkin about it. If it rains then I will take the quad out if its nice then lake. Right now it would just be the GP and the Blaster unless this rain stops soon and I can jet the SJ. Also my sister probably will be with me
Prem1x
07-18-2007, 05:20 PM
She'll be a hit at Devil's cove, I would think :cool2:
I'm definately brining the Octane and trying to get a set of carbs on the B1. If I do, its coming too.
Michael950 and JeffSX&X2 are coming. Haven't seen you in a while. Hope you make it.
JonnyB

I hate you
JonnyB
07-18-2007, 05:27 PM
also if there is enough room at the private ramp near Carlos and Charlies then that would be great if not looks like I will launch from Sandy Creek Park
Prem1x
07-18-2007, 05:27 PM
Oh don't hate me. I'm harmless. Cat keep my balls in a box on her dresser.
JonnyB
07-18-2007, 05:30 PM
do you already know the jets your going to run on the Blaster? or are you in the same boat as me and have to jet and rejet untill its right.
Prem1x
07-18-2007, 05:48 PM
I pinged Ed@FS to get a recommendation.
Otherwise, it'll be pretty f-ed up, I'm sure

WaHoo_1
07-19-2007, 01:23 PM
will be in town this weekend... will prolly shoot over to Travis in Sister N' Laws wake boat. Hmmm, might have to find out just how big O' wake she can put up for you cats. Premix whatup bro! Will try to look for you guys... can't miss the Octane nor your purdy B1. So Devil's Cove on Sat is the consensus right? We be coming up from the Perdanales (SP).
Prem1x
07-19-2007, 02:09 PM

Come on out, WaHoo, the more the merrier!
