I put in at Adams Lake for a change Saturday, I wont to know how these guys fly around in these fiberglass boat out there. I was a nervous wreck scared I'd break off a transducer or my TM. Got one thump the hole time i was out there the rest of the time i spent watching for stumps as the wind was not being nice to me anyway
Those are long time Lake Conway fishermen and know just about where every stump is. I still think they are crazy and would not recommend doing this. You never know when a floater is going to be in a boat trail...
Learning Conway is definitely an exercise in patience. Know what you mean Lawnmowerman43.
I was loosing all patience I had just driving between green and red still hit some nice cypress land mines
We plan to take care of this when we have the next draw down. We will hire a contractor with an under water stump cutter to make sure all of the trails are clear. We will also move some sections of trail that run to close to landowners banks, to eliminate these areas of no wake. We are not sure when the next drawdown will be, but hopefully not too much more down the road.Quote:

You could be Wildman D10
Now that is funny! I'm afraid that I like data to much! Guess that I'm too much of a fish nerd!Quote:

Thanks for helping in this effort. It will take more than me to get the job done. Even though I can't request that yall help clean up illegally hung yo-yo and abandoned limblines/trot lines, I really do appreciate the help! We realize that the boat trails need work, we will get them taken care of (pending approved funds) during the next draw down. And yes, the stretch of trail north of the 89 Bridge is bad. The best advice I can give right now is, slow and steady!Quote:

This fake trail is riddled with stumps (so I'm told) We will probably try to get out there and remove them soon.Quote:

For sure, yall that run the lake like that known the lake well. But, you never know when a half floating log will drift into a boat trail. I'm just saying. More power to those who know the lake well enough to run wide open.[emoji2]Quote:
