Texas Boating - Bass Lakes, Big Reservoirs & the Gulf
Texas boating covers so much geographic range that any single description misses something important. The Gulf Coast from Beaumont to Brownsville has sheltered bay systems behind the barrier islands, including Galveston Bay, Matagorda Bay, San Antonio Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, and the Laguna Madre, that collectively form one of the best inshore fisheries in the country. Then there are the East Texas lakes, the Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River, and the massive impoundments of North and Central Texas that serve the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio populations.
Sam Rayburn Reservoir in East Texas is one of the most productive largemouth bass lakes in the country and has extensive public ramp infrastructure from the Corps of Engineers. Toledo Bend on the Louisiana border is similarly impressive and has well-developed access on both sides.
Lake Texoma on the Oklahoma border is a premier striped bass destination with significant recreational boating traffic from both the Dallas and Oklahoma City metro areas. The Corps ramps there are among the best-maintained in the region.
The Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River, Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, Inks Lake, and the rest, serve the Austin population with a mix of water sports, fishing, and recreational boating. Lake Travis is the deepest and most developed and can get extremely crowded on summer holiday weekends.
Gulf Coast boating requires genuine respect for conditions. The open bays can generate serious chop quickly in southeast wind, offshore conditions are demanding, and passes between the bays and the Gulf can have breaking surf. Hurricane season from June through November is part of the planning calculus for anyone keeping a boat on the coast.
