Run Sam Rayburn like a local! In this video we highlight how to run through Bird Island at the mouth of Harvey to avoid the dangers of the Amber Forest.
Clark, you are spot on. I live north of Jackson hill marina and I run this VS the boat lane chip on the sse side of bird island all the time. There are always floaters out there. The best set up is like your pictures for everyone to set color changes on their units for mapping (I use birds) and change their water level as well depending on the lake level. swing north as well leaving the drain as the amber forest swings north. Good stuff!! Currently at 6.5 ft low this is a NO GO. I idled through last weekend and was bottoming out. So idle through amber back to boat lane on the far (west) side or run the south lane past Calhoun point and use the cut between amber forest and black forest. I would suggest anyone research that cut between both forests well as it is not very wide. Thanks for the videos. Good stuff!!
I used this secret boat lane today and never knew about it until I saw this video a few days ago. It was a huge factor in running back to Umphreys in the big wind today.

I’m glad it helped you out. Just think how many times you’ve been to Rayburn and it would have helped out
Thanks Clark that's awesome info!
These videos are so helpful, Thank you for taking the time to put this info out.
Thanks!
Good video Clark
Just respect the people who fish thru there
Absolutely. Good fishing and get get a little hairy when the lake level starts dropping and it gets tight
