jeb Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I bought a map for my HumminBird that lays out the river and creek channels on my GPS maps. So it makes it easy to follow the channel in any areas I'm not already dead sure of. There really are a lot of things out there that can ruin your day right now. Be careful!

Members Greg W Posted January 24, 2013 Members Posted January 24, 2013 Jeb What is the name of the map, cost, and where can you get it Thanks
jeb Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Kind of pricey, IMO, at $45. I was expecting it to have more detail. But it is handy, especially now that the water is down. http://swamplandtackle.com/GPS_Lake_Maps-list.aspx I believe there are other choices that might have more details, but not sure where to find them.

J-Doc Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Does everyone know that the cut by the 12 bridge is too shallow to float across? Unless you're in a jon-boat.......it's not worth it. Also, the small island on the way to Cliffty is only passable on the south side. One other area is the mouth of Coppermine(?) You can see a little bit of gravel above water. There is also a lot of very shallow peaks and a flat to the Northeast of that exposed gravel. It's near the channel too so don't think you can cruise past it and be OK. It's very near the channel. I don't think I realized that was there and I have a map (the fold out kind) LOL! I have my boat up and running now (long wait) but hope to get back out on Beaver soon. After my last 50mile outing, I'm going to be extra carefull. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
jeb Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Checked out the coppermine area on Friday while fishing. There is more than gravel sticking up now. Very dangerous spot. I took the long way to the bridge from PC, also. Way to shallow to risk. There is also a point that sticks way out from the north/first island as you're going from PC to, say, Ventris. It's basically straight acrcoss from the mouth of Coos Hollow. It's really shallow well out into what you'd think is the main channel. John B 08 Skeeter SL210, 225F Yamaha
