The only one I knocked off was on Lake Conroe outside a marina. I was following a huge house boat and was in open water when I hit a sub surface tree top. I figured the houseboat had pushed a couple of foot of water out. I had run there many times before.
There is a huge stump in the mouth of a creek up river on Eufaula. When the water is down you can see old props and lower units next to it. One prop still had the drive shaft. I can't remember the name but it's on left going up and is narrow going in and opens up.
The area above Weiss dam, on Neely Henry. It is nothing but sub surface boulders and rock piles. I've seen and heard several destroyed there. What you got?

There is a creek in the back of River Bend that is FULL of stumps. It has quite the collection of props and fiberglass chunks. If the water is normal level and you stay on plain then no worries but I see guys that do not fish there a lot when the water is down come through half throttle and Bammm...their motor flips up.

Weiss is notorious for being a lower unit destroyer. Also, just as bad is Ross Barnett reservoir in Ridgeland, MS. A large majority of the rez is shallow with stumps everywhere just beneath the surface. What made it even worse is years ago the locals drove a long piece of rebar down in a large portion of the stumps. Now all the rebar is laid down and people find it all the time with their lower unit. I also used to hear of folks ruining their fiberglass with the rebar as well. Big gashes and holes. Theyre all just hanging out there like a spear.

Heres a couple articles about how they tried to clean some of the rebar out in 2019. They said they removed thousands of pieces, but I can assure you they just scratched the surface. They also talk about the stumps.

Upper Logan in the Winter. Up around Riverside north to the old lock.
Or maybe going up Choccoloco creek before you get to the shoals.

Max that is not a creek, it is a collection of oxbows. I've been fishing there since 73.

JBl, my little Brother jumped out of a ski boat to retrieve the ski's for a girl on a lake around Houston. When he went under a piece of rebar went into his head under his chin and knocked out two teeth. He almost drown before he could get off of it and return to the surface. Good thing he didn't dive.i

watched a fella knock the lower unit clean off right in front of Howtons Camp one day. Can happen anywhere there are stumps/logs


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It's not how much money you make, but how much you can keep.

Thats horrible. Hurts me just thinking about it. Rebar just doesn't belong in a lake.

It can sure enough happen anywhere. A little while after Nashville and the surrounding areas had all that flooding back in n 2010, a cousin of mine was going down the Cumberland river and hit a submerged log in his stratos. Not sure the speed, but he was moving on pretty good. It ripped the motor clean off the transom and it somehow flipped it in the boat with him. This was an 18' with a 115. He had some broken bones, but walked away ok other than that.

I did one in at Brushy Creek. Freaking 100 yards from the bank and all of a sudden 2 feet of water and stumps,no warning at all.

I used to see someone with a riverpro jet boat go up and down that stretch during the summer. Brings back some good memories. Used to kayak that stretch with some friends.
