This area is super scary!!! As is the flat just north of 147 you best not run that flat cause if you smack one it will destroy your boat they are nasty

Sounds like it basically boils down to how good you think your insurance is and how big of cahoonas you have!

Here is what my Navionics shows...there is no way I'll run where it says there is a boating channel.

You MIGHT make it. In the old days one of my partners,--always ran from the 147 - through the Deer Stand..in south end - out north end.. and on to Shirly Creek.

we still run thru deer stand when the lake is at a certain level. Also run thru the canyons all the way to hanks at the right level. from that map it looks to be about right on where the lane is

I've seen Castledeine cut a hard left at the long and short cut intersection and zig zag thru the timber to the back side of the canyons on pad... Pucker factor...

haha yup thats a fun trip

I'm looking at that map, trying to see the tree that blew out 4 rivets out of the side of my tin boat years ago, running the short boat cut out from deer stand. Lake was down a little and the trees were showing and it "looked" clear till I hit it ! Put a lip in the bottom and lost 6 mph instantly. I've run it many times since but stayed over on the south side of the cut.

If you don't know what your doing I wouldn't try it I know the lake fairly well and I ain't runnin that [censored].

When I was in College at SFA we always launched above 103 in Etoile? Little public ramp then.....you can fish a lot of river from there

I don't even know where deer stand is.... God I'm lost!

Right outside of the creek leading back into were Jackson Hill is.

Almost straight across from Jackson Hill. Across the lake headed north from the Canyons. Basically the point/area between the angelina river and attoyac river

Thanks I kinda figured that's where the map was showing. Just wasnt looking familiar to me

We run from the Canyons straight over to the channel out in front of Deer Stand and usually we go up the Attoyac close to 103. We sometimes head towards Shirley Creek, Stanley is maybe the best looking cove on the lake though.
