I used to have decent luck by the ramp as well a few years back off the bank and under the bridge, but can't hardly get a spot there anymore. I swore off putting my boat in coldwater, had some bad experiences doing that (broke propeller, clogged up impeller, and running up on sandbars etc.) I'm surprised elbow creek wasn't elbow to elbow, I thought that was how it got it's name, lol. And I've never had any luck with Outfitters minners, they just don't hold up well for me. Thanks for the report..
