Low Water, Found Car

The water in Lake Wilson is lower than I've seen it since the sugar plantation closed. Down to the 16 foot level on the South Fork Bridge. Normally it's about 28 to 30 feet there. Found some submerged islands that we've never seen before. Well, the motor found them. Nothing damaged.

Right by the boat ramp you can see the top of a car. Looks pretty new. If anyone had a yellow car stolen....... we found it. I wonder if there is a body inside? Called the police, but went fishing after no one showed up in 30 minutes.

Speaking of fishing. The nice 3 pound peacock bass are schooling and chasing shad around Boy Scout Island. Caught on lures and flys. They seemed to like the smaller silver or white flys.

Along the shore line I found some scattered peacock bass. Very aggressive toward my flys. Some nice red devils too. LOL

Years ago my brothers-in law and I were fishing and caught a car. One of the lines hit a snag and in pulling on the line a tailgate raised up to just below the surface. We were probably in 7 or 8 foot of water. They dove in and checked for bodies, I stayed in the boat...someone had too :? No bodies but they found some paperwork in the glove box. When we got back to the boat ramp we called the law and found out the car was reported stolen. It was in a cove that had a dirt road that ran up to the water with the bank about 3 or 4 feet above the water level. They must have rigged the throttle and ran it down the road and out into the lake, must have been airborne for a while!
