Hey all,
A suggestion.
It is VERY easy to share these hazardous locations with the Navionics Mobile application on the iPhone. Just touch the screen at the position of the stump and select "add object". I would use the "bottom obstruction" choice from the "Rock Wreck Obstruction" category. In the "name" field, enter "stump".
This information is instantly shared with EVERY other mobile user (it shows on their map within minutes). There is no easier way to share this data in real time on an accurate chart!

This is coming out of chaney point. It's sitting about 5 inches below the water right now. Nice little insurance claim waiting to happen.
N 3248.050' W 09533.020' Check your waypoint. I plugged those numbers into my Navionics PC app and it put me south of the dam. Thanks Correction, I typed it in wrong. Sorry This one is already showing in the application. You guys are Waaaaay ahead of me!

The lake is officially 5' low as of this weekend. There will be more stumps popping up than ever before. You all know how dangerous this lake can be when its full. Anyone one whos new to the lake should read this post before heading out on the water. Be careful out there, make sure your insurance is current, and wear your life jacket.

Lance Vick just texted this one to me. Not sure on location but I think it's in the west side guide run. I'll post up where it is when he text's me back, but here are the coordinates.
N 32 deg. 51.171' W 095 deg. 36.794'
Ok guys, just got more info from Lance. This stump is in the MIDDLE of the west side guide run where it necks down just before Big Mustang, headed south from Lake Fork Marina. That's always been the hairiest run for me on Fork in rough water, and it just got a lot more dangerous. The stump is one foot below the surface and medium sized. Plenty big enough to do some serious damage. Plus there's no room for error in that little chute, anyway. Be careful out there.
Thanks Lance! You just saved someone a lot of heartache!

Hey Jeff is there any way of updating the HD map for Lake Fork on the PC program? There will be shortly. I'm trying to pin down when the PC and Mobile apps will get the data and how it will be delivered.

There is a visible stump on the right edge of the boat lane going into Williams just past the second buoy but what you can't see just under the surface before you get to it are large stumps they are between the visible one and the buoy. These are about twenty feet from a line between the buoys and large enough to knock your motor off, I was going slow and hit them and got stuck on top. You need to run on the left side of the buoy.

brokenjeep, can you explain the "second buoy"? Second buoy from what? From the split (Williams/Little Mustang)? I assume you are talking about the north edge because you said "going into" Williams. I hit a stump in that area a couple of months ago, but never saw it.

Sorry about that, I mean the second Buoy from the intersection or split going in to Williams just out from the point of the island.

Sorry about that, I mean the second Buoy from the intersection or split going in to Williams just out from the point of the island. Is it still an island? Once you hit the main lake and head north there is a scary stump field just to the east. Get off the buoys a little and you are toast. I remember running the area in the 80s before the buoys went up and always hated it.
