Where is "oil well woods"?

Is this near the 43 bridge?

If you really don't know here goes . Do down river from highway 43 bridge until you take a hard 90 degree right . It's the timber on the left until you run out into the big lake . There is a circle in the middle where the old well once was . But most people just stay along the channel fishing the drop .

Just past s-curve .:biggrin

Oil Well woods are behind pole 26

Thanks .

Just curious, was there really an oil well there prior to the lake being built?

Do you have to stay in the river channel to get around? I know there are a lot of stumps, but can you get out of the river channel and go slow across the lake?

NEVER learn the Channel Markers all the way from the 43 Bridge to the end of the S Curve. Once past the S Curve, you can get Southeast if it in most places. Sawdust pile is way down the lake but there's ALOT of exposed stumps in 4 FOW there. To fish Oil well or the Islands. Stay in the channel til you get perpendicular to where you're fishing, then idle to you're spot. I'm overly careful though. I'll put it in gear for 3-4 seconds, then take it out for 3-4 seconds til I get where I want to go. May be why I've never jacked up the bottom of my boat

Thanks DonDon! I'm cautious since I put a hole through the bottom of my last boat while fishing the Ten Tom. It was a bad feeling to jump the first stump and land on top of the next one. I have a friend who told me to watch for rebar in some areas of Barnett. I'll bet that would do a number on the bottom of your boat!
