been caught in a few storms myself on rayburn. last one i got caught in we flipped an 18 foot flat bottom in a storm that blew in out of no where! luckily we had everything strapped in and was able to right the boat and after a few hairy moments had the motor running and ran our butts to shore!
I have been on Rayburn in several storms over the years. When the clouds start gathering it is time to run for shelter. I was caught once on the water in a boat when ski rope tangled in impeller shaft.....nightmare city!
yea made it out ok-the wind blew us too far up on the bank & the propr quit. we had to wait it out. our friends in another boat had a cabin so we climbed over & in w/ them & waited it out! boat fired back up afterwards...was scary! watch out for stumps if you go wakeboarding on rayburn. i suggest going close to the dam. near twin dikes marins or powell park area. deeper water.
spooky. So, you guys make it out ok? I am wanting to take my boat out at Sam Rayburn for some wakeboarding. I would love an insiders prospective in best beaches, coves, dangers, etc.
My neighbors own one of the houses facing the island. Straight shot from there... but that lake is so unpredictable!
