I have been here all my life so I just about know where every stump is but Sunday I seen one that I either have not seen in a while or rememeber from years past. It is located between Ford/Grimes just out front in the main lake. Now the old resident stump is still visable and it is just to the south of it. Nice size stump that could do some damage. I had nothing to mark it or I would have. I hope someone gets it marked soon before someone gets hurt. Next time I am out I will take something and mark it. So keep a eye out if you are running from the clay pit towards Ray or Dale down the south side of the lake.Good Luck Fishing and Be Safe !

I was on pad when I seen it so do not have cordinates. I have the right location/area so have caution if in that area. If you split the difference between the outer tree line in front of Grimes that is visable and the resident stump in the middle of the main lake which has been there forever you will see if. The wind blowing will cover it just enough you might not get a good look at it unless you are real close to it like I was.

Thanks, Marc. We've made this a sticky until someone posts coordinates and everyone has a chance to see it. As many folks as there are that fish Fork, this could save someone's boat, or life.

Thank you Marc. I have only been on the lake twice. I have no idea where this is. Where is Ford/Grimes, Clay Pit, and Ray or Dale?
 Wish All Fair Weather And Tight Lines!

Thanks Marc, would hate to hear someone hit one WOT thinking it was safe water. Friend of mine hit one on Toledo in a boatlane we all thought was safe going back out right after weighin. Tore his motor off and it landed on the back deck crushing the back seat and pole. Luckily his brother who had been his partner in the tx had to leave and go home and wasn't with him. He'd ridden in that seat all day.

Thanks Marc.. stick a pc. of PVC down next to it if you get the chance.. That area can be very dangerous--many areas are right now...
