MOBass Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Ouch. With the lake down this will not be the last. There are a lot of long points out there and some saddles that are just covered. Thankfully with the cooler weather there won't be many people on the water. This should give every one pause. Make sure everyone has their pfd, keep the hands on the wheel and throttle, and pay attention to driving.
Wayne SW/MO Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I saw that boat that grounded on the west side of Coombs Ferry, killing one. He was a long way up the bank for such a big boat. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
loo10 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 New Mariah Carey' CD......$ 14. Damage to Boat ..............$ 8,000. Showing your friends the picture where you ran your boat 60 feet up on dry land.......Priceless!
