Im here, Sommerville is also my hang out. :D
We are from Spring. We also go to Sommerville,Lake Houston,Lake Livingston and Lake Corpus Christi for the Jetfest. Over at the Real Jet Boats web site we are in the process of gathering up some folks for a Lake Sommerville outing Easter weekend.
We are from Granbury,Texas which is about 35 miles S.W. of Fort Worth. We boat here on the lake and on the Brazos river. We are often found at Tin Top which feeds into Lake Granbury. In the fall we go to Plowman's for the cookout. I attended the Jetfest for the first time last year and will be looking forward to Jetfest this year. I am all so going to attend the Mousefest in Del Rio this year. I post lot of pics from our boating weekends on this site just look under the name"cookieman" in the image center. I usually have the camera each weekend that we go out boating. Hopefully I can make a few more lakes this year and meet new people with the same interest that we do. I enjoy meeting new people the you read about here on this site and a few others sites, so I can put a name and face with what I read here on the sites. Sure wished spring would get here I am ready to go boating.
If i can get my motor in the boat I'll be at sommerville easter.
hopefully will have another motor from cali. soon.
Look for a loud yellow youngblood.

My wife and I and our 75 Sleekcraft normally go to Canyon Lake or Lake Medina here in the San Antonio area. We are going to try to make Del Rio this year and want some info about the Jet Fest in Corpis so we can try to plan our schedule.:cool:

we are from orange on the Texas/la border we have the neches & sabine rivers that empty into lake sabine, but the preferable spot is lake sam rayburn on rattlesnake island. clean h2o, white sand and plenty of room to run.
going to try & stay on track and make at least one group outting posted here in the central spots !
most of the previously listed places are a good pull, but i am sure it will be worth the trip !
We live a zillion miles from any water, so we tow all over the state, but mostly San angelo, Possum Kingdom, and Brownwood.
We are trying to make it to Del Rio on Memorial weekend. I'm working on a 383 to drop in my Tahoe, and hope to have it in by then. The old tired 350 has been just barely enough to tow our bigger boat.
Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine are the ones in East Texas.
Hey man......I live and breath Lake Whitney and the Brazos River at Chisolm Trail and Kimball Bend.........Besides I'm looking out the bedroom window at the river and Kimball Bend bridge right now. Not a bad deal. Hey Cookieman..what did you think about my blown alky 69 Camaro

Hey Snowman that thing sure looks different since the Toys for Tots drive. The paint job looks great. It must me nice to have winter projects other than boats. When will you be ready to start running it and where? Can you make spring hurry up. TTUL Bill " cookieman"
Hey Garry, the car is lookin' good.
I was looking at some photos of Plowmans just tonight and telling my wife I can't wait for next October....
:D
Thanks............
I live in Katy and go to Somerville alot. Usually hang at Yegua or Pecan Lake. I'll make it a point to come out the Saturday of Easter weekend. I go to Lake Belton, Canyon, Whitney, Travis as well. All good lakes.
Cookieman, I lived in the condos the hang out over the water down by the dam on Granbury Lake. I worked at Comanchee Peak from the summer of 86 to 88. I have a lot of fond memories of that lake and the town of Granbury. Great people, great little lake, especially during the week thru the summer. :) :)
Texas Jet, Granbury is still a great lake during the week, I work around it all year long for the last 26 years and on the weekends we let the tourists have it but it is awesome during the week, those townhouses you lived at were on Sealy Ridge, now known as the Ridge.
pgf127rt, I remember that now. Man, that brings back memories. My lady and I would sit on the deck in the evening in the summer time and watch the lightning show over the dam. Probably storms down at Waco. We would have a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream over rocks in brandy glasses and sit out there till the bottle was empty. We got so spoiled we would seldom put the boat in the water on weekends during the summer. We used to hang out at the beach to the left of the dam. I'm going to go dig out the pictures and the Baileys right now. :) :) :) :)

Visited there last summer. Nice place, especially if you like to hunt.
The ironic thing of it all is I grew up in Medina Texas, not far from Kerrville. But yes, nonetheless it's going to be another culture shock.
I am quite the avid hunter, unfortunately last season sucked but I'll make up for this winter. I will be getting married this May out in Medina on the family ranch, "AR Ranch". Can't wait!:D

Taylorman, Someville is 90 miles NW of Houston. From Houston take I10 west to Sealy, go N on 36 for about 1 hour and you will see the lake. It's just before you get to the town of Somerville.
