    What is it about Lake Belton

    Every time I put my boat in that lake and that lake only, my boat come out with a black ring around it? Could it be that Fort Hood residue from ammunition's or what.

    I could be wrong but as strict as the EPA is I highly doubt that Fort Hood is the cause. It is a good question though.

    I have fished Belton numerous times and have never experienced that problem.

    You sure you aren't getting a smoke ring from one of the BBQ restaurants in Salado as you pass by?

    Ya I am sure because I cruise thru there before they get opened up. It really is always bad. Maybe it is just the areas GHARE takes me too.

    You aren't fishing below the water treatment plant are you?

    When your rear partner says they need to stop for a shore break, take this as a hint. It may help alleviate the ring around the boat.

    The lake likes me just not my boat

    Which areas of the lake are you hitting, I have fished just about every area of the lake and have never experienced any problems.

    Re: What is it about Lake Belton (Triton Chris)

    Same here fish all the lake. Ask GHARE he will tell you the same thing
    And it was a bear to get of at the car wash. Had to scrub with a wash cloth. I usually use my BBS but I am out right now and I tried that BTS product.

    Does the ring only appear when you fish with Gary? Have you have experienced this problem on Stillhouse?
