Work and other issues has him on lock down for several weeks after March 15. Though, if a person wanted to run the lake its pretty easy if the lake is 162 and above. Just stay out of the middle when around the Black Forest area. Once you get above Black Forest stay on the SW bank until you get to the 147 bridge. When you get above the bridge you can run the open area until you get to the Canyons. From the Canyons you can draw a straight line across the lake to the NE side of the lake and the whole area above that is full of trees and stumps. There is a boat lane, but it will be hard to see with all the trees that have rotted and fallen. If the lake is 164 and above, you can run almost anywhere you want.If it were me and I had never been to the lake, I would pick an area and I would stay in that area and figure out how to catch them. You can burn a lot of gas and waste a lot of time running around on that lake. Heres how I would break down the lake and I would concentrate my efforts in one specific area. The tournament will be won from one of these areas and 95% of all the checks will come from these areas. My opinion and FWIW. Cheapest guide trip you will ever receive.Canyons, Deer Stand, PophersHarvey, Bird Island, Mudd, Black ForestCaney, VeachColeman, Norris, Five FingersBuck Bay, Miller Woods, Needmore, FarmersEasley, Mill Creek I would also eliminate everything above the Canyons and the Deer Stand up the Angelina river. The entire arm of the Attoyac River and everything above San Augustine Park up Ayish Bayou. This eliminates almost half the lake you see on a map.
