Ramp at Carvers is in poor condition and also private, use Choctaw.
Just nervous about running back that far..afraid of hitting a stump again!!! I don't feel safe opening up my motor anywhere on that lake
Idle straight back from Choctaw about 40' always relying on your dephthfinder as you travel. You should now be in the channel. At this water level your trip should be OK. Turn downriver and aim to cross the first point about 70' offshore. Then aim to just left of outer set of trees that are up and far offshore of the sandy beach. Continue downriver on right side, as left side has shallow flat. If you want to go around the point, I always go to the middle of the lake before turning back right because there are some humps out in front of the point. Good luck.
Thank you big time I'll try that routeQuote:

A lot of ways to bust a prop on nader. Stay well out in the lake til you get to your location and you'll be fine.
Unless they have redone the road to Choctaw, allow an xtra hour travel time . looked like a bombed runway last time I was there .
Yea the road to choctaw landing is super rough. Unless they have done something to it since spring. You can put in at graysport and save your truck and trailer.Quote:

Putting in at graysport and heading west is stump a geddon for someone who doesn't know the lake.
You know... I grew up fishing Grenada. Dad had a 14 foot john and we went all over that lake. I never even realized till I was an adult that all lakes were not like Grenada.Quote:

Good news. I've avoided it because it was so rough as others have also noted.
Much rather go to Choctaw than Piney Woods when the water is hihh, hate that road going into the state park. Torrence I'd open for business now too!!
I used Piney Woods a lot before I got the bigger boat. I don't go there when the water drops to 206.
Piney is my favorite landing when water is high.
I haven't been there in 5 yrs. may be there Saturday .Quote:
