    My boat is staying in the garage until we get some rain!

    Having lost a lower unit and new Fury 4 prop down on Okeechobee about a month ago, I am hesitant to go on some lakes. Istokpoga is low, Butler is low, Griffin is getting there. I couldn't even reach or I was to chicken to run over the sandbar on Griffin.

    I know what you mean, I was wanting to go this weekend, but I cant think of anywhere where getting in is not going to be an issue, so I doubt I will be going...got a tourney on Kiss in a few weeks, so I will go there regardless but its going to be hard to find some good water.

    Read where Toho Marine's" Help Our Heroe" tournament June 3rd will be out of Joe Overstreet
    instead of Toho due to locks being closed and Camp Mack ramp unusable.

    It sucks right now. Harris chain is the only place I feel safe enough to run my normal routes. The rainy season can't get here fast enough

    At least I have the Ocholockonee river to run on it I want to get out. One good thing is I haven't had to cut grass.

    Down in south Florida I have been sticking to holiday park, alligator alley, and Arthur Marshal preserve.

    I don't think it has a name, but you passed it on the right, North of Haines creek and before you get to the river on the right.

    Roland's tournament​? I saw a ranger @ the dock with a tore up F4 and torquemaster case. LOTS of damage happening out there now.

    Man that sucks! I was lucky and able to limp back to the dock. The air boats are making a lot of money pulling boats out that run aground!
