Does anyone know if you can put in at the indian mound @ Hurricane Landing yet?
You can put straight into the river at the indian mound, but don't think the water is high enough yet for the ramp. I think water level has to be around 245 or 246 to use the ramp and even then the water is pretty shallow.
So is the ramp @ engineers point my best bet then?
Safest bet by far..

I havent been yet but a friend has been putting in there for a while now. Good luck!!
Well I went against my better judgment and put in there this morning. BAD IDEA. Boats were everywhere getting drydocked. If you are a local and know the channel well you will be OK. but the ditch is small in places and it took me about an 1hr to motor out as far as Toby Tubby. Best be it to wait until its about 248 to use this landingbanghead
Ha! Ive been there man. Last year the sports dude in the commercial appeal wrote about the new ramps at teckville and how they were great. I went to put in and it was essentially a rGing river flowing perpendicular to the ramp. This made it really tough to control the boat. We got in and saw lots of water stretching toward the dam and a bunch of flooded timber...cool.Quote:

Getting back was a long nightmare of getting stuck and reading the current to see where the channal was. Basically we watched trash flowing dowstream to see where the turns were. Sad that there was enough trash in the river to serve as a navigational aid...but thats another story.
It took us maybe 2 hours to go 200 yards out and back. When we had it back on the rack we were just leaning on the tailgate reflexting on everything that had just happened when my buddy made a great observation. He laughed and said "we could have made it farther in a Jeep."
Ilearned my lesson about fooling with that end of the lake before the water is deep. And the timber i saw in there that would be submerged most of the year was enough to scare my prop into having years worth of nightmares!
Wow!! Tough day, glad ya'll are safe tho.
