Boaters Beware Of Dangerous Structure In Cedar Creek Lake!!
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Receiving a call about a dangerous structure that ruined a stainless steel prop, we headed to Gun Barrel City, TX. We received a call from a subscriber that stated a few months back, he and a friend were on Cedar Creek when they ran into something. The concern was that they were familiar with this lake and had never hit this object before.
There are several accessible areas leading straight into the lake, several bars, and quite a few missing people in and around this area. We wanted to check this right away and see if we could bring answers to a family.
What we found, while it wasn’t a car, is still extremely dangerous to anyone on the water.

Y'all are so kind to check that out , not only to make sure its not s vehicle with a missing person, but also to keep everyone safe. Have a safe trip!
I love how you say “Love you, bye!” It’s so wholesome and cute 🥰
If you have not found out yet, t bridge was rebuilt a few years ago and there are large pieces of the bridge dropped in the lake when they took down the old bridge to make it taller, so there's lots of concrete with rebar sticking out of it
A day of dynamite fishing will solve that problem
Not the same bridge. They didn’t take out the old bridge that the new one replaced.
Jacob and Lindsay Thank you for checking out Billy's tip. When the water is low and with the old bridge hiding underwater like that it could cause a bad boat accident with people possibly getting seriously hurt. They need to have some kind of warning about hitting the bridge when the water is low. May God Bless and keep you Both Safe 💞 Love you Guys 🥰
Be Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞
I'd be willing to bet that's why that boat they saw is underwater instead of on it they probably swam to shore thinking what the heck did I hit
Be safe wherever you all are
It's so cute the way Jacob talks about the Lil Buddy😊
That's great that you guys checked out the lake for that metal. Low water, beware boaters , always😊
Thanks for taking Billy's tip serious. That was a wild find for sure. Thank you both for being as awesome as you are. Prayers for safe travel, safe searches, safe dives and safe recoveries. Love you 👋
There's a spot on the river a couple miles upstream from my ramp where they built a new bridge and blew the old 1 so it fell and cut in half at the same time (it was 1 of those bridges with the tall steel sides they used 2 cranes to drag each half up the bank to be cut up for scrap and the concrete used as rip rap on the bank to stop erosion but there's still chunks of concrete (mainly where they blew it in half right in the middle of the channel) that when the water's low will catch a prop if you don't raise your engine against currant I lift clear out and float past going with currant
Loved the first few minutes with Jacob saying he wasnt the cause of this 😂
He was making sure my dad knew so he didn’t get into trouble! 😂
Thank you for coming to cedar Creek lake tx
Thank you for contacting us! We hope this saves someone’s prop. If you need us, we will be back!
At least it was a prop and not the hull or they'd have found your boat along with what you hit
@@ChaosDivers idiots showing off their boats with whiskey throttle is why I bank fish holiday weekends don't try cedar the week of 4 July you'd never get a clear scan and would be watching traffic too much to look at a screen to see the scan
Oh the anxiety I felt when Lindsey put her phone on the dock that close to the water 😂
Good job checking out the water. Have a safe Memorial Day. Stay safe no matter where you are. This trip on the water was a rock and roll trip. God Bless you all!
Nice find on the old bridge.. That really needs to be marked by the county there for safety reasons. Stay Safe.
Thank you for checking on billy tip, you’re about 40 minutes away from me in Kaufman Tx.❤
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for checking out the hidden propeller killer. Stay safe!
Be safe you guys
Jacob and Lindsey, thanks for checking out the item that broke a blade. At least you cleared the area and found a boat. No cars. Great job guys.
❤❤
Probably found the cause of the boat being down there they probably swam to shore wondering what the heck did I hit hopefully they put up a warning so they'll finally know and no other boats hit it I wonder how many boats have made it on the trailer in a hurry needing patched or got a bad vibration and pulled out with an expensive prop broke and never said anything
THANKS AGAIN CHAOS🤗 for helping others and encouraging SAFETY FOR ALL 👍😎💚💚💚
Chaos divers your wonderful people helping family's find loved ones your a inspiration
Great detective work! 👍 Yes, the authority responsible for the lake should mark the hazard with a buoy, or some kind of warning sign 😖
It would have to be a buoy the size of a hot air balloon or a billboard for a sign because everything's bigger in TX
Awwww. Thank you for sharing with your followers. Happy Memorial Day to you both. Keep on divin!!!!🇱🇷🥁🇱🇷♥️
It's always amazing to see what yous find underwater. It's great that you were able to warn others so their boats won't get damaged. Maybe the city/town will have to put a buoy on it with a warning sign. Awesome job.
I've lived around here since before there was a lake. When they decided to put in the bridges for the lake, they had roads running parallel to the new bridge, so people could still get around, while they were being built. Each bridge on Cedar Creek Lake has a sunken road beside it. If there was a creek running through the lower areas there will be an old sunken bridge over the sunken road as well like the one you found, maybe more than one. There have been a few boats under the bridges that sunk for various reasons. Some have been recovered, but I don't know how many. Thank you for helping out and yes, we have lots of unskilled boaters, but I've seen that on every lake.
Happy Memorial Day Jacob & Lindsay.🎉
Really nice! Its b nice to call the dnr office when winter months caution needs posted at the boat ramp. And a boat down there. Dnr is the contact for all waterways.
Watching all those boats out there makes me even more happy for the place I live. We have a river turned reservoir that’s 30+ miles long and if you can see 5 boats on it it’s considered crowded.😂 They don’t exactly have winter pool as it runs hydroelectric generators and the depth has a 4’ variance possible at any time but when it is drawn down for spring runoff the old roads and railroads are much more visible. Still looking to see if we can find several small towns that are no longer here but no luck yet. Can’t wait for next week when we can get the kayak back on the water to fish. It’s still pretty dirty.
The drop for spring runoff is considered winterpool even if it doesn't last all winter most places slowly let a little excess out so it hits it's lowest point about the time the snow starts to melt
@@davidwoermansr ours does it at any time whatsoever. When more electricity is needed they run more water through. There are signs all over the place that tell you the water level can change up to 4 feet at any time. Sometimes it will change from morning to night. During the summer when CA is struggling to keep up with the demand for power they will run it nonstop. Other times when you try to float it you end up going upstream because the wind is blowing a little bit. It’s a strange thing to watch.
@@marthamitchell9452 Commiefornia is pushing for all electric cars and no gas ASAP but don't have the power grid to support the houses they have they keep putting the cart before the horse that's why I stay out of that country while traveling the lower 47 I'm sure I could have tons of dealers throughout that country but if they want to sell my stuff they'll have to come to me and pick their stuff up in a neighboring state or country I deliver to Mexico but my trucks wont go to Cali unless they change a ton of laws and restrictions
Wow that’s a trip! Thanks for warning everyone
Good to know for all in boats there thanks all you all do.
Happy Memorial Day Chaos Divers! Thank you both for all you do.
Thanks we are enjoying our memorial day, Yous do that as well be safe!!!!!!!
That was so nice of y’all to take the time out of y’all’s already crammed packed TX schedule to take a look at that object and mark it for fellow fishermen in hopes of saving them unnecessary repairs and expense on their boats. I’m sure they will greatly appreciate it. Please overlook the no mannered boaters out for the holiday weekend. That is not a fair representation of TX. We Texans truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have traveled so far to our state to do. We welcome you with open arms and if you need anything while you’re here please don’t hesitate to reach out. Safe travels❤
Great work chaos.
DNR needs to put buoy markers on that old bridge before someone gets killed or seriously injured during low water. If that lake is used for Hydro Power, the electric company has an obligation too. The FERC needs to get involved as well. I worked in Hydro for 33 years, the lake maintenance team had to check buoys every month, some stolen some came off the anchors
You were bounced around like a cork in a Hot Tub!! Have a safe trip and dives.
Idiots showing off their boat with whiskey throttle causes that it's why I stay on the bank to fish holiday weekends no matter where I am its worse there the week of 4 July with a bar near 1 ramp and liquor store by the other that's why I stay out of cedar except the middle of a work week when I'm there
Hello Jacob and Lindsay Glad you checked it out and found out it wasn't a vehicle which is a good thing in a way, Hope the trip is going good. I haven't been able to catch up with everything but will try with the next few days. Take care. stay safe.
She says : I got life vest on . Well just incase you didn’t know if you fall over the front of the boat that life vest will be the least of your worries as it doesn’t protect against the boat hitting you or the prop of the motor .
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY🌹🌼 💙 GOD BLESS Y'ALL....
Watch to make sure you don't kick your phone into the water when you set it down on the deck, Lindsay. I was really worried when you stepped back from putting in the Little Buddy your foot would just hit it perfectly to drop it in the water. (You just want to use valuable time with one of you diving for it of the pier).
Mermaid Overboard when Lindsay falls in!!! That’s what y’all can name the boat: Mermaid Overboard!!!😂😂😂
U all are amazing. Love you and God Bless ❤🙏
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY CHAOS DIVERS FROM THE GRAHAM LADIES
It sounds like something that the responsible authorities should be taking care of!
A little dynamite fishing would cure that problem
That's crazy that there are no signs telling boaters about t dangers of low water. Great job you both do. You have helped so many people get closer. ❤❤❤
Be safe this memorial day 🙏
Happy Memorial Day Jacob and Lyndsey. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you for all you do!
We refer to those people who may not know what they're doing regarding the boating right-of-way, rules, etc. as "Checkbook Captains". They have the money in the checkbook to buy the boat but they may not have the skills or knowledge of boating rules. Be safe and take care!
0:04 nice bow section 😊
I am surprised there is not a buoy there to mark the shallows where that old bridge is located.
Happy Memorial Day to everyone
ATTACH SOMETHING THAT STRONG AND WILL LAST, STICK OUT ABOUT WATER TO SEE FROM FAR OFF AND STICK A FLAG ATTACHED, THEN FIND THE WATER AUTHORITIES TO LOOK AFTER AND REPLACE OF SO NOT THEY MUST FIND AWAY TO REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR MORE THAN A BOAT. I LOVE THE WAY YOU ALWAYS HELP NO MATTER WHAT. BE SAFE, PLEASE, NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO YOU......I WOULD DIE.
Hi Guys, welcome to Texas and Cedar Creek Lake. Been on that lake many times myself, Bass Fishing in Tournaments. Be really careful. The lake is really rough all the time. I don't know if you have seen the story or remember that AWP found Carrie May Parker in Cedar Creek Lake, after being in the lake for 35 years. Truly a sad story, but as you say, atleast her family got answers.
Carrie May Parker was found in tawakoni lake in hour way.
It's not always rough idiots with whiskey throttle are why the waves are from every direction it's worse the week of 4 July and I don't think anyone's been pulled out of cedar a few trucks with trailers have when trying to load the boat (mostly manuals people didn't want to shut the AC off and either forgot to set the parking brake or trusted just it and it didn't hold
Yes, that was Lake Tawakoni. My bad. Nevertheless a wonderful and sad story and answers for her family.
Watching this video this year proves !! One before going out should check any past maps of any sort showing any construction and things were the waterways was flooded over for having obstructions in the water anything like where this boat broker prop you could have stuff that can damage your hole and sync your boat definitely should check things out safety first always !!
Great video I enjoyed this one !!!
Huh the sign on my shop wall says safety 3rd
That’s interesting. Thanks for the info. Not that I will ever be there. But it was interesting.
Thank you guys for all you do, sending lots of love and prayers for you all ALWAYS!❤️🙏🏻 Oh, my daughter lives in Texas so swing by and she’ll cook you dinner!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻 love you guys❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Hi Jacob & Lindsay
I got a similar boat like the one you're using in this video but pained green the sc fish and game use them too. I can circle and follow a party pontoon. Watch the beer and dope pipes start flying 😂 every boat sees me coming slows down. Their faces when they realize im not the police..priceless 😅
I anchor off over that old bridge in the early spring and catch tons of crappie when they are spawning. Most people that have fished this lake much at all know that it is down there down. That was the old creek bridge from before the lake was dammed up back in the 60s.
Geez... you'd think that being in the state of Texas, the locals would be more concerned about their 'toys' and where they leave them.
No need to worry there's always a gun around and the castle doctrine applies to property too in TX not just lives
People get out in boats and in the water and sudden become stupid. Invincible. That’s what gets people hurt bad.
i havent seen that lake that high in a while.
Wow. Im the guy in the burgundy truck at the ramp 😂😂
My brothers ashes are in gunbarrel city in the lake behind the old Flanagan house
Welcome to Texas 🇨🇱
I think I’m getting seasick watching this 😊❤😮
Hi Jacob and Lindsay❤❤
I grew up around the lake area and skied it as soon as it filled up. I have shied the whole shoreline non stop other than switching fuel tanks and a short lunch break and stopping at dark and restarting at daylight the next day. I took me 2 whop
2 whole days from daybreak to sundown, on both days.
@@wabbit1211 slow boat or crowded lake
@@davidwoermansr slow boat 35 HP Mercury, went in and out of every cove, Creek, anything wide enough to turn the boat around in at about 40 miles an hour. It's supposed to be 321 miles, but I m sure that's not how far it is when cut out the small channels and creeks.
I was really in shape back then I skied every day when the temperature was warm enough to get wet. I used to teach water skiing.
Lake was also full of tree tops
Be careful
Drinking and boating is why I fish from the bank on holiday weekends just driving to town Friday picking up and yesterday taking my grandson home (of course he wants to ride in grandpa's cool truck my 67 C20) there was too many idiots on the highway in a hurry to be remembered passing on a hill with a curve 1 passed on the right because I don't get my baby over 55 alot of people must've liked my truck they kept telling me I was number 1
Anywhere in Texas, just get the word out and there will soon be strong young guys in trucks ready to help yall with that heavy lifting. 😂
Dang I been there before.
Good ol’ Speeder Creek
❤you guys are hilarious try to keep up as much as I can with you too had a couple deaths of my family so I haven't been able to be on as much as I wanted to but getting it behind me won't be easy but I'll get there just wanted to touchbase let you know I was still keep an eye on you all watching you supporting you keep up the good work
So sorry for your loss
They should put markers out there
Gun barrel city Texas??
I have fam>ly there.
Notify the Texas lakes and camp ground authorities
I'm sure they know the old bridge was blown after the new one went in if it's a Corps of engineers dam they should be notified so they keep the water high enough it's not hit again
My friend is there visiting her parents
That’s my home town
It's mine for a month or so every couple of years in the summer we bring our toys out play on the water while it's hot and make noise with the Harleys in the mornings and evenings since I have a trike (my spine is full of the surgical centers scrap iron pile and it's the only way they'd let me get my cycle endorsement my family Dr let me use her little sportster to take the test) and with all the other scooters in it my trike don't fit so we find wide docks pull the pontoon railing tie it up setup ramps and haul it on the boat next time it'll be in a legit trailer with my youngest twins and a niece and nephew's scooters pulled by my 76 Chevy K30 crewcab ramp truck (well the body's a 76 the frame is a custom tube frame the 454 got rebuilt and put in my lowered 74 C10 shortbed stepside 3 on the tree turned into 6 on the floor the bench seat turned into grand am buckets it'll set the running boards on the ground c-notched and bagged still a work in progress) with my 77 Ramcharger convertible on 40s riding the ramps pulling the new trailer the trike fits nice in the wedge nose

I'd check alot around the bar people may not report a vehicle in the water if it risks a DUI (edit) so did I hear right a bar by 1 ramp a liquor store at the other
There are several within 5-10 minutes
@@ChaosDivers that's too much alcohol that close to a lake that's asking for trouble the beureu of ATF needs to consider those kind of things before passing out so many liquor licenses
Where is it exactly? Going out there this weekend and unfamiliar with the lake. I see 3 bridges on Navionics.
It’s about 100 yards SW of the boat ramp on E Cedar Creek Parkway / 334 & Big Chief Drive
@@ChaosDivers thank you!
It could've been a metal cable. That would tear things up. An old road. So this is a man made lake.
It is man made
Most public lakes are man made all I've been to anyway the Army Corps of engineers was good at moving towns to plug the rivers my grandpa worked for a company subcontracted to work on the Tuttle Creek dam in Manhattan KS and was given a 1941 Farmall M (a nice tractor back then) because it slid into the river and took several days to retrieve they were going to junk it so my grandpa took it home drained everything let it sit open a couple days filled all the fluids and went farming with it the engine got rebuilt in 1990 and it's still gardening and planting foodplots for wildlife and a clover alfalfa mix for the honeybees along with odd jobs and hayrack rides when we rebuild it we leave it OD green camo since it came from the factory painted for the military not the red farmers got it was in today's parade following the colorgaurd pulling a trailer with a special flag designed fabricated built and painted by a vet in my shop and taken to a friend's to have every vet's name that's been lost from that county laser engraved on the stripes it was an honor to have him ask me to do it he was shocked I handed him a shop key and said have at it whatever you need is yours he saw grandpa's tractor and said that has to pull it how could I say no to him not only is he older than me he outranks me
All lakes in Texas are man made
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Needs to be marked with a floating marker
Anyone ever get sea sickness? From all the bouncing!
We never have
💯❤️
there is a big big tree still hangin in there not too far out from the main marina on the west side. it showed up during the 2011 drought, after the lake was 5 or 6 feet low, maybe 7. i put a orange life jacket on it. tarrant cant act for legal reasons, meaning if they tag one, and miss one then liability is at stake. so they have a no interference doctrine. its a water res for distribution anyway, not made for leisure, so just be careful with this privilege we get to use it.

I know better to use either of those ramps. The lake is shallow in many places.
With all due respect, "Happy Memorial Day" is disrespectful to those who this day honors.
We miss my cousin greatly, but our family lives happily in the memories that we have with him. We honor him and so many others, not just today, but each day. We are in no way disrespecting his memory. He died serving his country, doing something he was passionate about and for that we are eternally grateful. So, for us, “Happy Memorial Day” isn’t a 3-day, bbq-ing weekend. It’s a reminder to be happy that we had our time with him.
How is it disrespectful so I can tell my brothers (a Marine and an Army vets) who call their lost friends family every year to tell them happy memorial day keep the happiest times you had with him in your heart and wish the same for the others families they enjoy the call a few now have kids who never met their dad and love hearing about who he was great and goofy stuff he did and can't wait till they're older to hear about stuff they did and luckily didn't get caught there's no drinking or BBQing happening is that the disrespectful part or are you so miserable you have to be offended by something and since you're offended everyone but you has to change if so look in the mirror see the common denominator and love yourself so others can stop walking on eggshells to show how much they love you
Oopps almost forgot with all due respect (funny as soon as I see or hear someone say that I realize there's never any respect shown) hope you had a happy memorial day
JACOB TY FOR THIS VIDEO AND YOU'RE RIGHT ALOT OF IDIOTS GET OUT ON HOLIDAY WEEKENDS ON THE LAKES, RIVERS ETC!! THEY NEED TO TAKE A SAFETY BOATERS COURSE IN MY OPINION US OLD SCHOOL PEOPLE DID THAT BACK IN THE DAY!! THEY NEED TO RESPECT E1 ON THE WATER AND NO DRINKING AND DRIVING BOATS TOO!! STAY SAFE!! BRING EM ALL HOME!!! ((( HUGS FROM TN )))
I really don’t think the stress the boaters safety course enough. I was fortunate enough dad took me to week course. He also is the main reason I know how to captain a boat
Boating safety flies out the window when showing off with whiskey throttle begins fun for the waverunners sucks for leisurely rides or fishing that's why I bank fish holiday weekends the week of 4 July you'd have waves hitting from directions you've never taken waves from and multiple at the same time if you back in the ramp a couple extra feet you can unload and dock without firing the boat the bar by 1 ramp and docks and liquor store by the other doesn't help matters turning responsible boaters into idiots quick fast and in a hurry
@@ChaosDivers MY STEP DAD WAS LIKE THAT TOO HE TOOK ME TO HUNTERS SAFETY CLASSES AS SOON AS I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO PHEASANT HUNT WITH HIM!! IMAGINE TAKING YOUR DAUGHTER TO THOSE!! THAT WAS IN THE 70S WHEN I LIVED IN MICHIGAN!! GREAT MEMORIES 👍 ((( HUGS FROM TN )))
Wipe those fingerprints off the sonar screen. 😂
