Somehow I Overlooked this Place

[@charliewynn3210]

This kind of adventure is so much more thrilling to me than rollercoasters or skydiving. You're out there doing the real thing, pure and simple. Keep 'em coming!

Another fascinating expedition thanks for sharing.

Why there are small stakes around those long stakes marking the shallows? I live at Danube and we have also marking of navigable channel made of stakes, we call them "pilóta", which is arguably derived from latin "pilum" as the spears or javelins could be used for the same purpose, so I wonder if the word "pilot" could be derived from that centuries old habit to mark the edges of a waterway, hence pilot is somebody who knows how to direct a captain to find a safe passage.

Very interesting theory of etymology! I love it. That would make perfect sense. On these waters, the stakes are not really meant for navigation (but they can help). They are placed to create structure for game fish.

What are the”stakeouts” purpose?

[@cumberlandrover]

They provide structure for game fish, especially Crappie.
