Default T-Bend, 10 ft. low . . .
In the 38 yrs. that we have had our place on T-Bend, I have never seen it as low as it is now. That presents a few more problems than we have had in the past. The legendary BASS pro Tommy Martin hit a stump and it blew up his trim unit and severed his lower unit. Our local boat repair shop has 7 motors awaiting new lower units. The extremely low water level has also relocated significant numbers of gators to our backyard. I didn't get pictures, but a boat ride Saturday nite revealed at least 2 over 8' and too many smaller ones to count. I have attached before/after pictures. The gators are laying up in the tall grass during the day and coming out right at dark. The dog . . . where is the dog? Be careful . . .

I heard that they don't have the stump cutters anymore. Now would be the perfect time to have one.
