Run Sam Rayburn like a local! In this video we highlight how to run through Bird Island at the mouth of Harvey to avoid the dangers of the Amber Forest.
Clark, you are spot on. I live north of Jackson hill marina and I run this VS the boat lane chip on the sse side of bird island all the time. There are always floaters out there. The best set up is like your pictures for everyone to set color changes on their units for mapping (I use birds) and change their water level as well depending on the lake level. swing north as well leaving the drain as the amber forest swings north. Good stuff!! Currently at 6.5 ft low this is a NO GO. I idled through last weekend and was bottoming out. So idle through amber back to boat lane on the far (west) side or run the south lane past Calhoun point and use the cut between amber forest and black forest. I would suggest anyone research that cut between both forests well as it is not very wide. Thanks for the videos. Good stuff!!
I used this secret boat lane today and never knew about it until I saw this video a few days ago. It was a huge factor in running back to Umphreys in the big wind today.
