I fished, or rather mostly cruised around, Jordan Lake on Saturday. We stayed at the Crosswinds Campground, so we mostly fished/cruised the area north of 64 and as far south as Ebenezer Beach. I saw this thread http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=1107594 that appears to focus on the timber along the western shore of the portion north of 64 and it was helpful. I'm a new boater - at least new to boating a big lake (old boat was 10' and could do 5mph with a tail wind) and don't completely understand some of the bouys.
At these coordinates 35.739379, -79.018070 on a little side channel was a "no boats" buoy. Was it marking something directly under it, the area between it and the closest shore, or the entire side channel?
This on is more of a curiosity. In the middle of the area that goes north of 64 and east to the Farrington bridge towards crosswinds there is a big ring of buoys. My LakeVu G3 Ultra maps show a square object under the water on the old creek bed - anyone know what it is? I could not see anything on sidescan doing loops around the area.
I downloaded the fish attractors gpx file from NCWildlife. We tried to fish at one set of attractors at 35.748113, -79.017603 but I did not see anything on sidescan there other than the marker sticking out of the water... Livescope is not fully installed (my knock-off GMS10 did not work - waiting on replacement), so I could not look around with it as I planned.
Finally, reading the other thread and the talk of unmarked or poorly marked hazards, does anyone have a gpx file they want to share with hazards marked?
Thanks,
