Thread: Where is "oil well woods"?

If you really don't know here goes . Do down river from highway 43 bridge until you take a hard 90 degree right . It's the timber on the left until you run out into the big lake . There is a circle in the middle where the old well once was . But most people just stay along the channel fishing the drop .

Just past s-curve .

Oil Well woods are behind pole 26

Thanks .

Just curious, was there really an oil well there prior to the lake being built?

Do you have to stay in the river channel to get around? I know there are a lot of stumps, but can you get out of the river channel and go slow across the lake?

NEVER learn the Channel Markers all the way from the 43 Bridge to the end of the S Curve. Once past the S Curve, you can get Southeast if it in most places. Sawdust pile is way down the lake but there's ALOT of exposed stumps in 4 FOW there. To fish Oil well or the Islands. Stay in the channel til you get perpendicular to where you're fishing, then idle to you're spot. I'm overly careful though. I'll put it in gear for 3-4 seconds, then take it out for 3-4 seconds til I get where I want to go. May be why I've never jacked up the bottom of my boat
