thats what I was thinking, I usually make stake beds in about 10-15ft of summer pool water but in Sardis I don't know because of the extreme water level changes but for winter I guess at the mouth of the bays at about 15ft would be good to drop some Xmas trees, I see that main lake Creek channel on the graph. I notice usually in other lakes the structure is put where to creeks meet or the bend of a creek channel. I guess I'll just have to experiment with it. and why doesn't Sardis have those asian carp? not complaining I hate those things but I thought everything had them by now
