Ha. I just posted on kenkims thread and saw this one. Curtnsharon, you are close to me, I am just north of Saginaw, and plan to spend a lot of time on Eagle Mountain lake this summer. Have you looked into launch fees yet? I am planning on investigating this today. I know rthere is limited free access to most of the DFW area lakes, but moost of the convenient places you have to pay to play. I was by lake Lewisville lsat weekend, and found a place that offers a $50 season pass. I am expecting to find that here too, and am hopeful that I can find a marina that has branches on several lakes and one pass will work. Let me know what y'all know and I'll keep you posted here as to my findings.
