Tom Maynes Tawakoni chip is well worth the cost. I knew Tawakoni pretty well and his runs matched up with almost all of mine plus he said some runs that I didn't know about. Money well spent for me.

I'm getting one for sure.

We'd all feel better if you did...

And those are not trees, they are petrified dinosaurs

I have been on Palestine more times than I can remember and I am never comfortable running it. I did $9K worth of damage to boat while fishing, not running


I have been on Tawakoni since like 5 years around 1974, so I am more comfortable with it.

Damn. What did you hit?

I did not hit anything, I was literally fishing with the trolling motor down. Got impaled on a t-post or some kind of steel post in rollers and only way off was drive off it. It kind of "ripped" the hull a little

Hahaha. You would be in trouble at Choke Canyon

I see boats run through the middle of the trees on Tawakoni all the time. I always listen for the crunch... that would be my signal to go help. Research a lake before you go running it. navionics has a free web app that has timber marked. there has also been a few posts on TFF through the years with maps marked up on where trees are located. the search feature can help.

there are LOTS of trees visible. and quite a few with prop marks in them from guys running through them at 2' low.

I’m guessing from your post that you will be voting for Biden again correct? Sorry! JK……sort of!

I did something similar @ the John's Creek boat ramp on Cooper severaal years ago. Backed over a T-post that was just barely under the water and took a chunk out of my hull. at the transom. Insurance fixed it.

Hahaha no not voting younger years trouble disqualified me from all that mess.

Be careful at the 2 mile bridge ramp. Directly behind the ramp near the bridge is a lot of concrete not far under the water. I've avoided it, but have seen more than a couple props fubared due to it and some nasty sounding fiberglass scrapes.
