If y'all ever come to Texas this lake is a must fish. Little Caney creek area is where I spend all my time. Berch creek is where ya always here about the really big bass bein' caught. But I fish from a 14' jon boat and them big rigs will blow ya off the water up there. Little Caney creek is the middle arm of the lake. This lake is still heavly wooded and is a bugger to move around on if ya don't stay in the boat lanes.

I know how you feel,I fish in a lil' 16' boat here on Lake of the Ozarks and if you don't watch out you get run over by cigar boats and 50' pleasure boats.They recently announced this was the most dangerous lake in the U.S. 3rd overall most accidents just behind the Atlantic Ocean and the Colorado River. There was another fatal collission last weekend and i seen on the news today something about a Sea Doo explosion,don't know the details on it yet. Danger at Lake of the Ozarks. I get down that way once in a while but I have never fished there except around Corpus along the coast.
