Why is there no kind of warnings out there?! I was going in wide open lake n ahead of me huge trees! Not in the maps or any warning on the lake.😩😩😩. Thank God I didn't hit anything but that lake is gonna kill someone.

Because it's your job to know where you are running

Who is supposed to warn you?

As low as that lake is there should be trees visible.

My maps has areas that have trees marked on it. Also other lakes have something flags, poles, something anything.

There is a map chip with running lanes that you can buy for Tawakoni.

Some do and some don’t.

go learn to run the lake, take your time and make your own lanes

They don't move much. Go slow 'till you know has saved a few.

It's another one of those lakes you have to run idling alot. Palestine is the same way if not worse. I figure in some of these areas on these heavily wooded lakes the trees were left so dense there just isn't any way to mark clear/open boat lanes.
Hopefully when they built Bois D'arc they cleared enough boat lanes to run to all the major areas of the lake.
Agree on the mapping software. It should be out there somewhere.

Welcome to Texas! Tawakoni and Palestine are two that used to be a pucker factor of 10 for me, took lots of time on the water to get comfortable running.

Who sells the chip and thanks guys.
