Hey Dave

[Col Forbin]

I tried to go out today - went to a couple of ramps and decided against it. I went to the Ky dam marina and Double creek (barkley dam). If I would have had someone with me, both of the ramps would have been ok, but not for launching by myself. I had nowhere to pull up once launched other than the ramp - I need to get a keel-gaurd put on, but until recently I haven't really seen the need for one. I am going out of town for a few days, hopefully by sunday the wind and water will cooperate.

You need to get that keel guard on your boat if you are gonna fish here...other wise sooner or later you are gonna get a big chunk taken out of your keel even during normal pool...trust me, I have been there.
