Hello

Does anyone have any photos of how low the water is around the Veleno Bridge? Also, how deep is the water at the bridge?

Thanks

AJ

I have an older post that shows the water level in the back of the veleno and as recent as 4 days ago I watched people run over the bridge, but most still go around it. I recommend going around it for now.

there should be markers on the bridge unless some idiots have removed them again.

I was just there last week. I was told its about 10 inches below the surface. 3 of the 5 bouys have floated off into a cove on the west side. We just idled and hugged the bank to the west (right side as you exit the Veleno going out to the main lake). Had no trouble.

Just got back after spending a week down there. There are only two of the original six bouys still marking the bridge. They're on the east side, so we stayed on the west when going past the bridge. As for the fishing, we spent Friday afternoon fishing the Veleno because of the wind and didn't get bit.

My partner fished a collegiate tournament down there this past weekend and has the ends marked. I can get gps coords if you want. He said its about a foot under. One of the teams lost their lower unit to it on saturday. if youre coming out of it, stick to the right side and youre clear

There are no bouys on the west end.. If the wind quits I'm gonna go try and remark the west end..

Stay about twenty yards off the brush line and you are fine.. On the West Side!

Sorry I wasn't more specific, but yes I was asking about the new 83 bridge. Thanks for all of the responses.
