Left the cabin at 4:45 AM. After fighting the fog for thirty minutes. Decided to wait till daybreak and headed back to cabin. Almost run ashore twice. With the lake down 10'. Not fun!!!!

Be careful out there ,it's really easy to get turned around in the fog.
You not got a good set of contour maps for that lake???
Yep but the ayers down 10, and it's hard to watch the graph and water at speed. The bass boats were out at full speed on this mess

Well, at least you managed to put the hurt on the stripes fog or not! lol
Went late, fished an hour and picked up twenty keepers. Not a bad way to salvage the day......
shade the contours, like if 5 foot of water is now where the 15 foot contour is, shade anything 15 and less on your contours, then you will know you are in at least 5 foot of water when running and makes it easier to watch your maps that way, specially at 63 mph.:biggrinQuote:
