it was almost a disaster, I got lucky

This morning I decided I had to go fishing so I hooked up the jet boat to the bug and headed to the narrows. I havent seen the river as low as it was this morning, but I was there so I was heading up river. The first shoal almost took me out. my first try I took the wrong line apparently, and I ran into the gravel. my bow turned around and started downstream and promptly hit a tree and dipping the left rear corner of the boat underwater! I scrambled up to the front and got off the tree and thankfully my bilge pump worked. I regrouped and made the shoal and did some fishing. Fishing was fair, would have been much better if I had remembered my box of jigs. Biggest fish was ~17". I only caught 5 before I let the rain chase me off. On the way down I had a even worse scare. doing about 15mph I hit a log underwater and my motor came off the transom and landed on the back deck! What a scare that was. Time for some remodeling on the transom extension.

pics of the bottom of the typhoons?

I cut the head off and gut them, the rest goes in the can.

thats awesome, I cant wait for a build thread

I can trout, and have recently started canning chili. For trout, I put a tablespoon of french dressing in each jar for flavor and in about half the jars I put a squirt of mustard, plus a dash of sea salt. The taste is much like tuna. I usually eat it on crackers. I do pints for 60 min @ 10psi.

white works all winter long when they are generating...but you didnt hear it from me!

I got you confused with hoglaw I believe, he puts in at ranchette. Now that the weather is cooling down, I will start doing some trout fishing again.

you put in at your normal spot?

as far as I am concerned, everyone can believe the fishing is over when it gets cold. I am just getting started.

this is the only pic I have, ill take some tomorrow: .

I love tricky spots

if you lived closer I would say come with me, as I have no fishing buddies anymore.

you get it fixed yet? I should be fine where I like to fish(narrows). I hope to be going out there soon.

interested in trading for a kayak and some boot?

I am just starting to gear up for smallmouth fishing for the year on the 11pt.

tore a hole in your boat?

let me know when you want to do it, I am game and I got canoes kayak

never trust the phone. check the gauges.

It took me two months last winter but I found the boat I wanted exactly, a 1448 lowe jon with a freshly redone trailer. The boat came with aluminum decks and a new transom.

let me know when your ready to hit the white. I can go just about any monday.

trout in good SMB rivers

yah, my wife said I peaked too early!

cloud9 ranch is a offroad ranch in caulfield, mo that I am a member of. 6500 acres of private land with spring creek running right through it. They keep it stocked with rainbows. the tri olive is the color and zigjig is the brand of jig I prefer currently for trout fishing.

I fished at cloud9 this afternoon for the first time and caught this hog. It may not be much to yall but this is the biggest rainbow I have caught to date, 25" and a little over 4lb. I caught him on a tri olive zigjig on my 4th cast. I returned him to the water and he swam off to fight another day.
