 Onion Island Just a warning, the water may be high enough that we won't be able to stand when we get there. If you don't want to tread water or sit in the boat, I'd advise you bring some floats or something.  Likely areas where you can stand are areas where people have been cooking and walking around for the last several years too. Higher chance of stepping on glass or something so keeping your feet protected would also be a good idea. As always, lets leave it cleaner than it was when we got there. It's generally pretty well kept, but lets do our part. Don't sink your cans or hang em in trees. Throw them in a boat somewhere and make sure they make em back to shore. Crips usually has someone that will scrap the cans so we should be able to make a pile near the boat ramp. Thanks to all!

Re: Onion Island come out of Crip's on boat road(BR) "F" take left on BR "L", then right on BR "C", then left on BR "E" and it will take you north and curve east to pass north of Onion Island. If you once on BR "E" you can see it off to the right slightly and you can cut across, with water up a little like it is stumps will be hard to hit or find! LOL

Re: Onion Island Just don't forget about the sucker rods stabbed in all the stumps in front of the island. It's like a mine field.

Re: Onion Island If you are uncomfortable in big open water or your boat is small, be wary of bad weather. There's a stretch of open water on the way to Onion Iskand that can get wicked in a storm.
