Old Jetties in Big Lake

[Ray]

All boater are supposed to learn an area before putting the boat into that water.
You just cannot launch and haul a$$ around the lake.
If you hit a stationary object, you will be at fault. If you are not sure about the
area you are boating in, go slow. The slower you hit an object, the less damage
you will do to both you and the object you hit.
You also need to figure in tides before you go fishing. Ask me how I know.
The river ran thru the lake before there was a ship channel. The lake was shallow
so they had the Rex shuttle supplies to Cameron(Leesburg was the name back then)
so they could be put on deep draft ships that brougt supplies in and out of Cameron.
The old jettys directed water thru the river channel by T-boys.
In my younger days, we shrimped along the Southeast bank and there was still
grass along the banks. We would dump the bag and shake the shrimp out of the
grass.
