[quote TubeDude][#0000FF]That cement wall...and also the stumps...have provided some "close encounters" with more than a few boats. Never a problem from my tube...except when I snag up while molesting perch and smallies in that area. The structure usually holds fish.[/#0000FF]

Well, we just bounce off of it when we are in our float tubes,[
] and yes, the area holds quite a few fish, even now.
I do have kind of a humorous story about the wall. I was up there one evening working over a school of smallies. These folks in a boat saw me catching a lot of fish and started heading over to get in on the action. Unfortunately, they were on the other side of the wall. When it was apparent they were heading for trouble, I started yelling. They didn't hear (or want to hear) and whamo. They fairly quickly extricated themselves but I was still catching and they were noticing. At this point, I was just above the beginning of the wall and they circled around and beelined right back to my area and their nemesis. In spite my renewed screams, CRUNCH. This time, they were stuck pretty bad and I came over and gave them a push to help free themselves. Fortunately, damage was modest and they decided twice was enough and to fish elsewhere at this point.
