Yep. I got my share of "boat bites" on that route. 17' seas most of the way, black & blue from head to toe dropping anchor in KW. Is your picnic boat on LBJ the Hinkley kind, or is it one of those flat party boat thingamajibbies?

They're both of the Hinckley persuasion. Having grown up sailing, I had the sailor's typical disdain for stinkpotters (handy for setting marks, but not much else :), then went for a ride on a Picnic Boat a few years back & had to have one! Something about being able to walk them sideways, or any direction you want, with the JetStick really impressed me. They're built like trucks, both are older used models when I bought them. 36' is a tad large for Lake LBJ, but it sure is fun to scoot around in!
