good info

The hell you say!!!! Stumps on Fork?

-Alton

I was out there not too long ago fishin with buddies in seperate boats, it was night time and they called me while we where all on the lake and said " we are gonna head to Ray Branch ". I said not a good idea if you dont know exactly where your goin. Well I heard their motor after the call, and they got up on pad. Then the motor stopped. I called them thinking something went wrong. They said when they where on pad they passed a few trees that were about 3 feet from the boat and obviously shut her down. Fork is dangerous and will eat you alive if your not carefull. Thanks for the advice!! And be safe!!

Going into Ray Branch from Little Caney there is a stump at (N32*48.897 W095*34.378). I had to swerve hard to avoid it so I turned around and got the coordinates. Didn't have anything to mark it with so all I can do is post these. Might be the same one. Its not far west from the resident stump.

If any of y'all remember that wet stuff that falls out of the sky about three times a year, the whole state could use some so say a prayer when you get a chance,

marc, not sure where you talking about, but it isn't in the boat lane is it? I hope not.I don't even know where Ford or Grimes located that you referring to. do know dale tho. thanks for the heads up. Hopefully folks will take a look at what is under the water now and remember when they try to run when water is up again. ha If that ever happens.

Thanks for getting some coordinates.. hopefully someone can confirm that's the one.

From the dam heading Northwest it's:
Chaney, then the two smaller coves up from Chaney are Ford's Cove and then Grimes Cove.. then above that is Ray Branch, Leafy Branch, and then Dale Creek.

I hope that helps.

I guess you guys know about the stump with the motor skeg stuck in it that is in the creek across the lake from Lake Fork Marina.

Ouch!

Choogie, you might want to check on the quote in your signature line. It was made by Captain Call, not Gus I believe. "I hate rude behavior in a man, I won't tolerate it" was the quote spoken by Call after he beat an Army Scout half to death for hitting Newt. He climbed aboard his horse and spoke those words to all the horrified town folk standing around with their mouths open.

There should be a permanent thread for Fork hazards. Here are coordinates for 4 stumps submerged just below the water line between Lake Fork Marina and the main boat lane. Jason Hoffman posted them several months ago.

N32*52.467 W095*37.090
N32*52.448 W095*37.010
N32*52.406 W095*36.908
N32*52.505 W095*36.788

got me a gps/map , have marked stumps with a skull , and crossbones.
been on Fork full time since 96, now cannot see the lake on my screen , all I see is skulls..what now ????
I am out of icons

I will mark it tomorrow. Plan on being up that way so I will tie something to it. I have a big jug I will put in my boat tonight. Thanks & Be Safe.

Could this stump be the widow maker N 32 48.895" W 095 34.000" pay her a visit.

Thanks again, Mr. Mitchell. Looking forward to exact coordinates
