Shallow water Cobia

[SKnox]

I came out of west fork into west cove saturday. Less than a foot and a half water after about 200 yards. My gps said deeper water ahead so I kept going forward. Wish I had turned around. It took me over an hour and alot of pucker factor to get to the ship channel to meet up with my partners. Is it always that low on that side of west cove?

If you see some white pipes South of the old jettys, stay way away from them.
There is a big hump there.
North entrance to West Cove, stay in the center, on plane. Don't go North.
There is shallow water all around Rabbit Island.

Best bet, don't be a dummy like me. Pay attention to the tides. Look at the whole
picture. I was thinking about fishing, not tides and winds. North wind on a low tide,
bad for me, real bad for Reel Bender.

Hey it happens to the best.

You were doing a heck of a job and telling me about the particulars of the lake and showing me the sites. So actually you could say......it was my fault!!!!!


Thanks again for taking me depite the grounding you were a top notch guide.

Ray, I was staying to the south side of the north entrance to West Cove and had to shut it down due to being too shallow. The water was low.

I showed you all of Bruces spots.
I ain't got none of my own.

We really went all over West Cove and didn't hit anything till we got to that reef.
