We're putting in at the marina and planning on fishing around the Indian/Buck creek area. I've never been so is it safe to stay on pad all the way to Indian? or do you shut down due to timber?
Thanks, Tyler.

Not if you want to keep your lower unit.

Put the hammer down and take a video.
Really when you see timber you better start idilling

You're good up until you get to Wolf Island. Past that, I would take your time if this is your first time on the lake. Lots and lots of timber up in Indian and Buck.

Me I'm running all the way you being first time follow somebody!!

Put the hammer down!

Buck had a stretch where you could run wide open but thats long gone. Idle for sure. Main lake to Wolf is clear.

The open area north of the stumps just west of the RR bridge in Buck gets shallow quick. I found that out on Friday

You would be better off putting in at Jordan Park if you are going to fish Indian and the Buck creek area. There is also the Buck Creek ramp. That is a long boat ride from the marina. Like others have said, get off plane from Wolf island going north. Just because it looks open, doesn't mean it is.

Same as always, the telephone poles mark the mouths of the major creeks, the Corp cleaned up to them, past that, you better know what your doing.

Hahaha you will die if you run on pad past wolf island seriously if u don't know don't try it. If u wanna fish Indian/buck launch and the buck creek ramp if it's still usable

Its easy to run! Just keep your motor trimmed up

It's not easy to do and at this lake level and your first time do yourself a favor and put in at buck or Jordan then you better idle unless you have a death wish.

Hahaha not easy to do!!! Pffff.... Anyone want to follow to see come on out but for your first time be safe and idle!!

You can run it wide open in an air boat, but that would be risky. There is no way I would run past wolf island. Heck, I start idling when I get near the island. That part of the lake scares me too much.

Can you still use the courtesy dock at Jordan Park?
