Boondocks opens in old Coconut location




Coconut, a lakeside restaurant off the SH 334 Causeway connecting Gun Barrel City to Seven Points, recently sold to new operators.

The new restaurant, Boondocks, opened about a month ago (April 2017) after being shut down several weeks for remodeling. The specialty of the restaurant is Cajun food, but the menu includes traditional lake food as well.

The restaurant now features a colorful lake theme. It featues indoor and outdoor service.

The closing and reopening went mostly unnoticed because the Coconut sign remained in place until just recently. The new Boondocks sign is expected to be erected shorty.

The restaurant will be family friendly, open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. During the summer, the restaurant will stay open later on Friday and Saturday nights.

There will be live music, and the restaurant will continue to be accessible by water for boating customers wanting to dock their boats at the restaurant pier and automobiles.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 16)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.04 feet below pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves. Fish are on a feeding frenzy! Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
