guys. Get a lake map and learn where the sand bars and points are. The lakes 4 ft low and you can't run all over where ever you want. Iv watched 3 boats in 10 minutes run around by whitley creek this morning so far aND at least 8 in the last week by eagle creek. Learn the lake and be careful so you can save yourself some boat repair cash.
What he said....I saw one close to Bo woods near the island a few weekends ago...
Two words that sounds like three: LakeMaster Chip. Its a life saver and a boat saver. I will never leave home without it again.
What is this doing to the fishing.?
Fishing is fine
We saw a bass boat last year 200 yards past point 3 sign last year! He was around a football field from the waters edge. The boat wasn't there on the way up. So this happened while we were fishing. Who ever was in that rig had more than boat damage. The walk-thru windshield looked as it went thru a tornado! One of the craziest things I have seen on the ville'. If you don't know the lake for goodness sakes slow down!!! Everybody is in a race to see who can clean there limit the fastest.......slow down and enjoy the day!!!
Lake masters and I try to follow CL around lol
If I go any slower I'm going backwards. Besides, I can draft in about 1' of water. Catch me if you can. Or in the words of the Jeeping community, Don't follow me, you wont make it. :Rofl
Not much water on the flat by Whitley. Better stay on pad

last Friday out in front of pt.3 saw a bass boat that got stuck on the bottom. took him about 30 minutes to un done. lower unit took a pounding
Let me add to the list of culprits as I too ran aground by Eagle two weeks ago. It was scary and a pain. Fortunately, it doesn't appear I hurt much but the prop...
thanks to Chips for checking it out on Saturday!!
Stay by the high banks, is what I was told, until you learn the lake. That was pretty good advise. The only time I ran aground was idling and watching my side scan. I guess I should also have been watching my depth.
Good advice. My problem was I couldn't find my fishfinders so no sonar...
It was my first time out since October and I got off lucky (I hope).
Great lake
Uh oh, that is a tough one to get off of. Would've liked to see them throw up some sand.Quote:

Probably ought to hire Birdman to guide us and keep me out of trouble. Caught a few but would have done better with Birdman. Hope to get back over again in June. Should the walleye be catchable then or will the crappie bite still be good?
Walleye bite will probably be on the down slope by then, but crappie bite should be picking back up!Quote:
