Sand scoop recommendation anyone??

I'm in the process of moving to Texas and will be very close to Lake Travis. I need to add to my gear, a decent sand scoop for fresh water hunting. Can someone recommend one that won't break the bank. I'm not sure what type of soil/sand/dirt I'm going to encounter, so, I may have to wait until I get over there later this month, thanks.
 
I think your going to have to wait and see your conditions. Their are sponsors for this site that have a variety of scoops to offer. Check em out, while your waiting. Remember if you get one that can't hold up, you'll have to get another one. Happened to me.
 
I agree with Dancer, Best to see what your up against then ask us... You would think any scoop would be fine but I swear some are just better in spots then others.
 
I lived in SE TX back in the 80s and fished Lake Travis more than once. Get one with a nice point, SS, personal preference as to angle ( I rec 20 degrees), and 7" or 9" opening.
Several good ones out there, but you will never go wrong with a Sunspot Stealth. Read their warranty- thatll clinch it for you. + they have absolutely the best customer service of anyone I have dealt with ever. And I mean Ever.
 
If it's like the gumbo up here in north TX, the chore is getting it off the shovel. Another thing is the soil may differ from one location to another, Travis is a pretty decent sized lake. Like was suggested previously, you may really want to scout this one out before spending money. I don't know this but you may find sand hauled in for some beaches, others will be whatever was already there.

Check with the office and/or website. I believe the core of engineers controls most lakes in Texas and they have some rules to follow and as well as a permitting process. Texas State parks were off limits to MD last time I looked so please stay informed and know where you are.

Welcome to Texas, where you coming from?
