Lake Naconiche Pics

[Ketchn]

saw some folks hit a huge hidden gem at full plane in waxahachie one day ,just left the ramp ,brand new fancy rig , the lake has huge not visible trees every so often in the "boating lane" ,didn't quite sink them but it was rather ugly for sure , limped back to the ramp and left .
we knew better after running slowly thru the boating lane and seeing some of those big live oaks just under the water every so often down that boat lane .
never say never my friends , hit one myself in a boating lane years ago and would have sunk us for sure if we were not in a whaler , the hole was bigger than a basketball ,just got on plane as we hit it ....it was about a life threatening bone jarring sudden almost complete stop that threw both riders out of their seats !
seen fork kill lots of boats when they opened it as well , the best lakes for a crappie are often some of the most dangerous to navigate .
fyi my friends

I fished Rayburn as a kid, your pictures really brought back very fond memories. Thanks for posting.

purdy aint it , ya remember when that one fella used to post all the time on that "other" website when they opened it ?
it was flat out total jungle , took it less than 10 years to turn into about 1/4 of the original , such is flooded pine woods ....

There are pines but plenty of hardwoods too. I’ve run it also but that was right after it opened and most trees were still standing making the lanes more defined. I still see some doing it. I also saw a new or close to new 20’ or better bass at a fast idle high center it on a stump on the edge of a lane. Took him a few minutes to get off it. Forward or reverse it just spun in a circle. Hope it didn’t hurt that pretty thing!
Years ago on Toledo a friends bother came from Houston to fish a tournament with him. When it was over he went home and my friend went back out. He hit a stump in a wide major boat lane we’d all run many times over the years that is big as a table top. It ripped the 150 hp off the transom and flipped it onto the rear deck with the prop and lower unit over the passenger seat. If his brother had stayed to fish he’d been killed.

A few years after Naconiche opened I was there and a high wind came up. I watched 3 big tall trees break at the water line and crash down from the spot I was at. I was careful the rest of the day not to get near any big ones! It also has lots of wasp nests the size of soccer balls in the trees in the summer. The wasps are black and not real aggressive but I’d still not want to bump their tree!

That will make a fellow shudder thinking about it
