Mansfield can be tough to fish, I 've seen and caught many pike on the south side down past the dam in the flats, close to the river channel that runs through there.

| What is the clearance/depth under the tunnel? Never been there just wondering how big a boat may make it under there? |

Full size 21 foot bass boats and big deep v's make it through there no problem, unless the water is way up.
