Awesome!

Floated Moon Valley to Bennett solo this afternoon. It was moving with about 2’ of vis. Saw a bunch of pinned aluminum canoes and one couple trying to swim to Sand Spring. Told them to walk out at Riversedge. Lots of folks out today. Saw about a dozen boats. Did catch fish.

Just don’t bed fish for any species. Was fun but it’s no good for the fish. Do for awhile to get it out of your desires but I don’t consider it fair chase. A couple hours of practice and I can bump noses, floss fish, force feed in their mouth . Snag in the bunghole if I want. It is not fishing. The fish has to move to the lure to make it fair. Fish a big swim jig 1/2 3/4 with a 5” paddle tail on the back or a spinner bait, crankbait. Sight fishing is only fair chase when there is nothing to hold the fish to the spot.

Catawissa is just some old gravel dredge pit spoils next to the river. Think the Fields clan needs to come by for Bbq this summer.

Looks like you are going to have a great time! Thanks for the pics. -
Kiddo's class was gonna sing the anthem at the stadium today. They said 3 hr rain delay...We pulled out with 5 other couples with a bunch kids to hit Mission Taco Joint in Soulard. Guessing 12-15 kids ....Then rolled on back home and the party continued. We have some great folks in this neighborhood. Fork Sports...We all agreed that we do not care about the Cardinals or the Blues.....All busy people...Slackers might have time to care about that useless BS. Best game ever...Bought a ticket, left...did not see any baseball. .life happened. perfect!

Submerged rocks are the real hazard on the JF. Particularly on the Prongs to Buck stretch. Prongs is worth the trip. Rather sporty. One big culvert pipe to run not far below the access. That river floods quickly. The ground is soggy and rain in the forecast, would go elsewhere.
-
That's a pretty stretch. Jam Up Cave is the most significant feature on that stretch, you will want to spend some time there.. 300 cfs on the Mountain View gauge is a great level..Its running at twice that volume now. Hope it dries out a bit before your trip.

Harvey's Alley Spring Canoe Rental..Leave your vehicles in their lot and have them drop you off at Buck Hollow.

Real men don’t give a stink about what they look like. The tacky face buff/rag is pretty nice at times. An essential if guiding flats in FL. Remove it if approaching someone you do not know. Common Courtesy.

Braided line suggestion in a spincaster
Gavin replied to Haris122's topic in General Angling Discussion
Don’t use a spincast reel. That is for kids gut hooking bluegill and forked stick catfish. It does not do anything well. Save up for a good medium action spinning setup. $70-100 in the reel. Same in rod. You will like better. -
Would focus on the eats and the culture. Go out to dinner and get suggestions from the folks you meet and like while there. Rarely time to fish on an out of town work related trip. 10-12hr days are the norm. Gotta get as much done as possible when face to face.

Out to Sushi after a grade school event. Youngest loves Udon, Oldest wanted a roll, Wife got chefs choice over rice, I got nigiri traditional. 8-12 pc of what I like. All happy.

Boating Etiquette When Encountering Kayakers
Gavin replied to MickinMO's topic in General Angling Discussion
I’ll float below Jerome midweek. Never, Friday-Sunday. -
Nice, even for Canada! You have it dialed that is for sure.

Sounds like fun! Girls had fun at Dry Run a couple years ago, need to take them back before they are too old.

Lots of newby kayakers are relaxed and oblivious. -
Boating Etiquette When Encountering Kayakers
Gavin replied to MickinMO's topic in General Angling Discussion
Paddle craft & motor boats rarely work well together. Both groups have to be extra careful. Don’t block the channel if you here a boat coming. -
Pete and I talked. Gonna reschedule this to include more members. Pete suggested a 3pm-5pm happy hour on a weekday other than Friday so folks with early weekend plans, and those with inflexible schedules could attend. It was a great suggestion. Think same venue,, but Wednesday or Thursday next week. Sorry to disappoint those who committed. Will meet those who committed on Friday if you can’t make it next week. Small bunch, so thinking Nudo House (Vietnamese), or Gioia’s West(James Beard Award sandwich shop). Both off Olive east of 270.

His privates are probably in the shade. Bet his belly sticks out more than his dickydoo.

Have one but wore it only once. I don’t mind sunscreen on my face, ears, hands.. Long sleeves, long pants, and a broad brimmed hat is my preference.

So what, it's just someone's obese pet.
-
You can find them all over. Prefer to find them in areas that don’t flood cuz they are not full off sand.
-
Pete (snagged in 3) and me plan to meet for lunch at west county Syberg’s at noon next Friday (270& Dorsett). Open to all. RSVP by Thursday PM so I can get a head count.
-
I find them on the ground. Finding the first one is usually the hardest part. Different taste that’s for sure. Wife found some Saturday, picked a bunch more today in Dent County.
