[QUOTE="TNGunsmoke, post: 5401193, member: 10346"] The best advice I can give you is to take a trip now and find the blind spot, and see how you need to access it and what kind of work you are looking at to build/repair/brush a blind there. The lake is full of stumps, lilly pads, and there may be debris from previous blinds around the spot that will need to be figured out. Check various boat launches around the area, some may be closer than others, or less used and thus easier to access. Bear in mind, that IF we get cold weather, certain parts of the lake freeze sooner than others and thicker than others. The water level is more subject to fluctuation due to it being a natural lake as opposed to man made. Build accordingly. You can look at the water rings on cypress trees to give you a hint of what the levels have been in the past, but right now, the lake is low(last report I saw anyhow, but that was prior to recent rains). If we get more rain, it'll come up some. Build with that in mind. With the water low, more stumps will be visible, but that also means more sitting just below the water surface that will be hard to see in the dark. WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
