    Bassboat over the Dam at Elkhorn?

    A guy at work today said that his Fireman neighbor told him that a bassboat went over the dam in the Oser Landing pool of Elkhorn Creek this weekend. Said the guy was able to get him self up to the fire station there in front of the creek. Anyone heard anything about that? I googled elkhorn boat wreck but didn't find anything. Supposedly a brank new boat.

    I guess the boat was new to him, not new. I figured there had to be some truth to it but found it ofd that no news came up Guess you guys got it taken care of pretty quickly

    Yea guy was very lucky I thought it might have been on the news but I guess they kept it to themselves probably better for the guy anyway.

    I have skied in Elk horn,born and raised on it and run a 85 horse wide open on the way back to ramp.You got to know the creek and where you are , much like any other body of water.

    All the people who say they know elkhorn on here have probably either talked to me or seen me fishing i was there almost everyday from the time i was 10 to the time i was 20 i always caught soft craws and always was fishing or giving advice on the creek i know elkhorn like the back of my hand still do thats my home waters thats why id never ever run a boat on it not a big on3 anyways i kayak it now seems to work alot better than when yer in a big boat espeacially for the crappie
