Years ago a friend and I were fishing Horseshoe for the 1st time. We were in a small 14' Ouachita jon boat I had at the time when a front suddenly blew through with high winds. The waves came up, and I started in, but water was coming into the boat faster than we could bail it out. We barely made it to the shelter of a boat house before we swamped and were able to bail out the boat. We then limped along the shore using docks and boat houses to shelter us till we made it back to the landing. I got a bigger boat after that.
