We have been talking about it for a while, but it has been some time since anyone has been up that way. The guys I run with have short memories, we need a guide. I heard there are a couple of beaches and some nice areas on the river. Count me in on a run.
33 Miles from the Turtle Club to Banana Bend |

Never been up the San Jac. How far up the river is this. Looks like fun.
It's about half way between the I-10 bridge and the Lake Houston dam. Most of the channel is 12-18' deep from I-10 past Banana Bend and up to the railroad bridge just north of the new Hwy 90 bridge. At that point it can be as shallow as 3-4' for about half a mile then good and deep from there up to the dam. There are several beaches an island and 3 bars accessible from the river. Only way past the dam is by trailer:D |
That looks like a lot of fun. Might be worth a trip later this year. I assume the crowds get pretty big along the beaches in the summer?

It will definitely be a shorter run than on the way to the casino:evilb::D
Cheaper too? Did anyone ever figure out what the total cost was in boat and motor damage? I am in for 6K. |

Not sure lefty had to get a new drive BM22 Sent both engines to ateco, one for a full rebuild,I think he threw a rod. Louie's was fixed under warranty from what i heard. Nothing like blowing an engine in front of a barge coming at you full speed:eek:Or having your chit catch fire and don't have a fire ext.:grinser010: We started with 6 boats and only 2 made it under full power. http://youtube.com/watch?v=rUQn7la9abE |
