I drove up to Oakland City last Fall and I stopped in the US Fish&Wildlife Office. There were two people there at the time. One gentleman who hid in his office the entire time I was there and one older lady who is originally from Wisconsin. She had little information to tell me other than giving me pamphlets. She was not familiar with the area much. I went to snakey points North side launch ramp and took pictures of the area with my cell phone. I showed the pictures to the lady and she could not recognize where the pictures were taken. Evidently she does not get out to that area much. She must just stay in the office. I was up there to get information about snakey point but I could not get the lady to get the gentleman to come to the front to answer any questions that day. He was on the phone for a while but then he got off the phone and I was hoping to get to ask him a few questionsOne of the questions I would have asked is if we can use outboard gas motors on snakey point? I guess I'll talk to the local CO's and ask them what's the deal with motors on that swamp area.I do know that the area looks rather shallow. And I did obtain some information about the flood levels of the Patoka River in that area. I think the river was above flood level when I went up there and took pictures of the area. I should still have those pictures in my cell phone's camera. But the only way to get them out is to email them to someone at 25 cents a picture or to send them to my cell phone carriers pic place.
