Texas City Dike

[rtoler]

Did a recon mission to the TCD with Pop. They really cleaned the place up and installed a nice smooth road. Both sides of the road are graded very well. A small one lane boat ramp is installed on the South side, the other ramps are clean-up and ready. No bait camps on the Dike. Cost 5 to access.
The water looked like a milk shake on the North side and fishable on the South side. Saw a few slicks pop up on the South side so I pulled over and chunked a lure or two to no avail.

I was there yesterday for the 2nd time in 2 weeks....caught a slot red on the 1st trip. My co-worker was there today and sent me a pic of coastguard helicopter, apparently a man was being rescued but the story turned out to be fatal.

the dike does look nice, but for how long.

I read that the underwater topography and current velocity has changed since Ike . A fellow had his boat crushed in half launching at the boat ramp when a freighter wake sucked the water out and then returned . It's deeper and currents can be stronger on the north side close to the dike . It's nothing like it was 2 years ago , so be careful at the ramp and wading . I've waded there twice before the dike opened with no problem . I did notice that it was deeper close to the dike , but , that also was when the water level was way high several weeks ago . Just be aware .
