Hi guys. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that fishes Lake Palestine. I was down there the last 3 days doing some crappie fishing and trying out the electronics on my new boat. While scanning for brush piles I made a couple of discoveries that I would like to pass along to everyone.
I was scanning along the river channel north of the big 155 bridge in 20' FOW and hit 3 trees in a row. I'm not talking about saw them on my SI, but my boat actually ran up and over one stump that was just barely breaking the surface of the water. My lower unit hit the other two. These trees are right on the river channel, just past the first point that you pass running north. (Flag Bay)
While I was out there, I had several bass boats fly by me WOT. Sorry if this is old information. Here are the GPS coordinates: N32 10.748' W095 27.909'
Another stump that is just barely breaking the surface is going into Ledbetter Bay. This stump is barely visible now. If the water comes back up 1 to 2 feet, it will be a perfect lower unit getter. N32 07.396' W095 27.987'
Hope this saves someone from ruining a good day on the water.
