Better Know Where You Going

What's so bad about the wax is it changes every year. I been out there a few times and got stuck but never that bad.

Poor guy didn't park, he was running down a channel had marked on GPS, looked down at GPS and drifted off course, and hit that sand bar running, he said that he thought no problem I'll just get out and push, but when he jumped out the boat, the water didn't even cover the top of his boots, he said it was very deceiving in the dark, there was just enough water to cover the bar and then it all left.....

Dang that sucks. Haven't been out there in 5 or so years. Tough hunting. Gotta stay on your track on that GPS for sure. I would go with some guys that grew up in the area and would just follow them to the tricky spots in the dark most of the time.
