Unless your my age

Sorry for the repeat!

Your best option, in my opinion, is to put in at Whiten and go up as far as you can go. If you can get through the first shoals , Bliss, you are good for a few miles for sure. If you can’t get through Bliss, you can drift back to Whiten. I would also grab one of the nice gravel bars to camp, unless you need a picnic table. That way you will have a much better view of the river!!!

How shallow is fairly shallow?

Good point JD about running a boat with a load of fish on it!

I don’t remember catching three fish at Bliss but we may have? Fished in May and caught many…. I blame it on the drastic temp change from one week to the next!

Fishinwrench!!! Ditto!!! And the weather ! 45 * and above Always watch the wind forecast!!!

I agree about the mean!!! I look at the cfs first on the 11 point Have fished it in February when it was 300 cfs and 2 feet on the gauge (and super clear) !!! Have also fished it 1700 cfs and 5 feet.... after a big blowout ... when it was in a slow drop!!! (And murky) I wood not fish it at 1800 today because the drop is too fast for me! When this drop starts to level off it will be ideal conditions.... (temperature permitting) 😁

You mentioned you thought the river was low?? I Thought there was 700+ cfs about the time you were there. Thinking that it a lot of water, especially this time of the year. Just wondering what cfs you prefer??? That imo is about perfect to wade and easy to boat .... 1200 or more difficult to wade and drift is too fast! Could just be me though!! 😁

No skipjack chasing! Small trout were chasing! We found some very nice rainbow of various sizes.... 14-16 inches were largest!...and by the looks of them they have been eating well!!! Also some small colorful stream bred ! The river at 1300 cfs this late in the year makes me think there will be good water for the rest of the summer and better than usual opportunities to catch some nice bows! Our timing below 160 bridge chasing smallies and goggle eye could have been better....

Kayaks are boats!!! You are right mark!!! My son and his buddies ... and my daughters...aren’t much for fishing from the bank!!! Wade fishing in this river is tough with a cfs over 1000 IMO !!!

That works Al!!! Yes ! It is sad!!!

Naught so fast Mark. Blaming not catching fish on the water too high??? In the past few years we have caught fish 1500-1900 cfs. .... it’s not easy but very do a ble!!! Stay at home means stay at home!!!! Agree with Brian No long drives. People need to stay in their home county!!!

Prolly too much water now... not enough water before imo to fish eddy!!! Next warm spell I plan to give it a try!! Will post results... river looks like it could be in great shape for a while!!!

Never know what you will see on the 11 Point River!!!

just returned from 2 nites on the river. Camped at turner and 50% chance of rain was right on cause it rained half the time... Son and friend kayaked Greer down Friday PM and caught half dozen or so.... Small bows on rooster tails and marabou . .... I waded the area and found a hole that produced same amount, two nice fish! Repeat with weather Saturday .... Rain early, clear later, and boys yaked again while I went to same hole with same results . Boys caught same amount with more size to them..... River started running harder Saturday evening and broke line off two casts in a row so called it a day!!! Has been a while since been to the river and conditions were not the best... Yet we were comfortable the whole time ....and good to see river still producing nice fish!!!!

.....something like that!!!....a young lady asked when the movie coming out??? ....don't know how to answer that one

......would be awesome.....especially if held at Three Rivers in Poplar Bluff.....a nice neutral site almost close to all the teams!!!

Agree fly!!! Couldn't get away in a couple weeks...Easter and too much going on...the fish will catch up to me another day...

yea boz.....we were thinking about you knowing we should leave a few.......we just left more than we would have liked!!!

Spent that Saturday and Sunday camping at one of my favorite sites....Whites Creek gravel bar.....with my 23 yr old son and two of his buds. The camping was good, a bit chilly the first nite when I had to roll out of the tent to take care of things, but we had a nice fire going to help with warming things up. Another regular to the stream joined us midday Saturday for some fishing. We fished around the creek where later in the afternoon I hooked my first rainbow and at the same time one of the young guys caught a very nice Missouri Pike.....fat and easily over 20 inches!!! It was to be the only action of the day!! Sunday was beautiful on the river....the boys kayaked from turner to the camp site and hooked and lost one fish......my fishing partner and I boated up to turner and worked our way down and found the bite slow and soft.....catching a total of 3 fish and losing probably the same amount of fish. We spoke to a few others on the river and we all found the fishing to be slow!!! The river was in great shape but on this trip, the fish were not eager to cooperate!!!

Florida looks like the the best team !!! The SEC is/was better than given credit and did no different than many of the other conferences that were given credit for beating up on each other!!!

except for the last two game scores.....10 1 15 7 ??? LOL......the skinny on the cuban.... good hit, average glove, no English!!!

...and the birds would have had another in 85 if instant replay were being used!!!
