LOTO. Dam to Dam?
 
I have a buddy that has a 32 Fountain Fever that's been dam to dam two times He stayed at the Ore House I wouldn't have believed it but he had pix. How far have you gone? The bravest I've been is to the Salty Seamen @ 67mm. Is there any other places to go past that?

I have been to the The ole Oar House in my bass boat. There are a few places up there. The Salty Seaman is at the 61. The 67 is up by the BBQ place.

I've never been past the 60, but it would be fun to start a list of places to go up that way.

That is a bold run for sure. In all my years, sad to say, I haven't been past Big Dicks. Was always told there wasn't much past the 60 or so. Would be interested to hear some stories here. Water levels, food and gas stops, etc???

As long as you cruise gas isn't a problem, one of the gas docks signs said open or shut. Just don't go on a Tuesday, almost everythig but the ore house is closed.

Went to the Winery (70)in my old 240 outlaw. If you know the channel its all good. I chicken out at the 70. The Red Fox is a pretty good place to eat 50 mm.We used to go all the time when we had our house at the 39 mm.

I once went to a place called Possum Holler. What mile is that at?? As I remember it, after Dick's you need to watch for submerged objects like trees etc. I thought we went past 75 MM but it was 10 yrs ago.

I'm not sure where that is, heard of it though.Pretty good water till about the 50 and yes you do need to watch for stuff. It also depends on the time of year and if Trumans gates are open. The Winery that I went up to is about the 70. It's called Buffulo creek winery. It is pretty cool and chicks dig it.( at least the ones I have taken to it. I have also learned a hard lesson on the Niangia arm. If you ever go to HA HA Tonka state park, DO NOT GO PAST THAT COVE, been there, done that. ended up in 2ft, of water in like 1 second Sucked pretty bad stuck in a sand bar.

LMAO - I have done that too, only got stuck rocking back and forth on a boulder instead of stuck on a sand bar.:(

If your stuck on a sand bar or a boulder, at least you can rock under the cabin. :evilb::cool-smiley-027:

Too be honest with ya it would have made a bad a$$ picture.Me and a buddy and both our wives. Buddy got out of the boat and was standing knee deep in the water in the middle of the channel. We were in a 24' fourwinns.

I was on a hurricane deck boat - both guys got out to lighten the load and rocked it back and forth until we could slide it off the rock. Luckily is was very round and smooth, so was not a big deal. We ended up walking it back out. But you are right, we were only a few hundred feet past the entrance to Ha Ha.

jeff1000man 12-31-2007 06:56 PM

I wish I still had the picture of my buddies fountain stuck on a sandbar that they hit at 45mph. You could almost see under the keel. He has a picture of a guy standing next to it in less than knee deep water. Boat looks huge in that pic. :evilb:

LOL, been there as well in the jet boat a few years back...got a rock stuck in the impeller and had to limp home. Have also been all the way up to Warsaw in the bass boat...just a river up there and plenty of water if you can stay in the channel. There are quite a few establishments up there as well, but they don't have quite as much "energy" as those on the main lake.

The lake did its best to kill that boat.

LMAO, it eventually got sold to a guy that put it on a lake in Ga. Some how he sank it within a year or so.
