Can I run the main lake anywhere south of 147 bridge? anywhere else wide open to run

For the most part. Look on you tube Ken (forgot last name) has some very good videos on running Rayburn.

There's a stump going in to Harvey, a huge stump south of 147 on the west side maybe a mile south of 147. Also a large stump just north of 147, maybe 200 yards, about a 1/3 of the way across from east to west. I marked them on my GPS but don't have the coordinates handy right now.

I'd download the boatlane chips if I were you. I've only been on Raburn a few times, maybe 6 or 7, and there are some random big stumps in areas outside the known areas.

Stump just north of 147 is around N31*13.370 W94*19.606

Watch this series of videos from Ken Smith on Youtube. Have a pen ready for waypoints. It's very accurate and detailed.

Buy the download. $20..... Problem solved.

There's about 3-5 miles of stumps all the way to caney from the 147. It's called the black forest for a reason. At this level I see guys running all through it but I assure you, there's a forest there. On navionics, anything that looks shallow or has ridges from Calhoun point to caney along the south side has trees.

The big stump in front of Calhoun is visible. Also the stump going into Harvey and Indian is visible. So follow Jarets map and be cautious and you should be OK. I see folks running wide open in spots I never do.. So its enter at your own risk!! I would shoot coordinates out but I am at work...

There are BIG rogue stumps ALLLLLL over Rayburn. Even down south. From Veach to Caney Creek South on the main lake you are pretty safe. From Buckbay south to the dam on the east arm you are fairly safe. If you don't know, then stay on the south of the lake at the Pavalion/Twin Dikes. Even with the Boat Lanes Chip there are some stumps and floaters in the marked boat lanes. And YES some move with the wind. Especially those just above 147 Bridge.

Ron is completely right. There are little patches of trees and single stumps all over the lake. I see guys run right over the top of them running from the dam to the north.
