Boat Trip In High Water

[Nighthawk]

took the boat with the new motor (one of Phil's old ones) to fish the high water today. the fish were ALL OVER a thick cerise san juan worm. fishing buddy and i caught over 30. most were really small with one 18"er. motor performed great, jumped my 16' v-bottom right up on plane. a man with a boat fears no high water!

Sounds like you had a good outing. Must be the good luck brought by your new motor!

I love my jet! It's always fun buzzing across the flat at Short Creek and watching everybody wave at you to slow down LOL.

Even Buster's Stump is gone. Gonna miss getting airborne bouncing off of that thing!

From what I saw when I was there a couple weeks ago, with the generators off, the whole upper end looks to be a couple feet deeper now. I didn't go above Lookout Island though.

Is it easier to run up river with the water off than before? I never made it above Lookout when the water was off due to there always being wade fisherman in the middle of the river. Just curious if it's too deep for them to stand there now with the water off.
