Well fished my first tx. It was wind was insaneWas only able to put one fish in the boat to weigh in, but some didn't Even do that, so at least I didn't come up empty handed.
the tx got pretty expensive when I was going about 35mph IN THE MARKED boat lane and hit a stump hard enough to knock the cowling off the motor
Bent the prop shaftgoing to call insurance this morning and get it to the shop, I have more fishing to be done
In all I had a great time and will do it again
what part of the lake where you in when you hit the stump.

That suck tearing your boat up... good luck with the insurance.
where were you? the main boat lane should be completely under water. was it in the back?

I was in the lane that runs north from the south boat ramp.
That sux .... hope you didn't to too much damage

were you past the timberhill ramp just going into the trees.. i hate that damn lake.. it got my LU and also knocked a hole in the bottom of my other boat
Sorry to hear about your boat.
As for markings on the boat lanes. The main boat lane heading north from the Mound Valley(Dam) ramp only has 2 of the 5 floating markers left in the lane, it is the first 2.
After Timber Hill heading north as you go through the 2-4 big trees there is a new stump that I never seen before, at least for the last 2 years. It was marked by a big milk jug a couple of weeks ago. I bet this is where he hit the stump??

that's right where I was just started into the trees and WHAM!!!!!
Just talked to Insurance, I only have a 250 deductible and looks like it should cost around 700 for the parts and labor. should be fixed up within 10 days or so
Looks like to me their are new markers, they were from one end of the lane to the other.
as you starting into the trees ,when you go right of the big tree, there is a stump right in the middle of the lane.. cost me a LU
Why in the hell would they mark it a lane if their is a stump in the middle of it
