Boat was near the west bank of the big island in sand today. Setting on the bottom in the shallow water near the bank. Boat was setting deep in the water too. Passenger console was all busted up. Looked rough. if you run into that "field" between the big tree and the tree line and cut to the right... I bet he found that one single stump that is about 20 yards east of the treeline and about as big as around as the hood of my tahoe.

Gotcha. I run in on the right all the time. Had me worried for a minute. Glad they were ok though. Sinkey you can run in there between the Island and the tree line but dont do it if you don't know where every stump is @ cause it will split a boat in two in that shallow of water.

On the left I just shut down by the big tree Barrett is talking about and idle back. I bumped several in there 3 weeks ago and said it's not worth it.

YOu can run all the way to the island. Ive done it 100 times with no problem. Ive even seen it dry. You kinda wanna make a S when running into sand.... go to the right then back to the left and then back to the right (between the big tree and the treeline) When you go between that big tree and the tree line....
There is a stump way out from the tree line in the open flat that is a giant and prob just about 8 inches under the surface now... maybe less. When you cut in just make sure you dont get too close to the tree line when you hang a right.

Here is a question? Who do you call to help get the boat out? never really thought of that but it was my friend that amde this post and helped them. he did not know nor did I. He was scared to try a pull. thinking it might fill up with more water. They wanted to go back to Buck. First move the trailer to Jordan Park Boat Ramp. If the motor still runs get a big water pump (bilge) fire the boat and pump and get it to the ramp and load it on the trailer. Unless he ripped the A$$ end out....It didn't sound pretty when he hit it. And from an earlier report the passenger consol was destroyed. Other than that a flat bed barge with a crane. Maybe they have something at the marina.... Hope he had ins.

I assume the passenger as the boat stopped as soon as it hit the stump then they trolled to the island.

That sucks. I wonder what type of boat they were in. I guess he will want to buy a Progater Bass Boat in the future. 10-year stump guarantee!!

There are several stumps between the island and trees.
