I was supposed to be on the way down tonight from St Louis and be put on by Brian and float Thomasville to Greer starting Sat morn, but I guess things got nasty last night. I have never fished the Eleven Point, but my buddy Joe says it's his favorite Ozark river and swears by Brian and Eleven Point Canoe Rental. Even has EPCR sticker on his truck, lol. I'm sure we'll make it down at some point. Bummer for you guys that it happened on a what I assume should be a busy weekend. Bummer for us because there won't be any bronzebacks pulling our strings this weekend.

Luckily I have two weeks for it to come back down. Looks like we'll probably have the most water we have had for our July float.

But geez, stop raining already!

You all missed a sweet spot. I took off last Thurs. and Fri. and we took the jet boat out. Camped at Whitten, run up to Turner and floated and fished down on Thurs. Lots of nice fish, several 19". Run down to Turkey Bluff and worked our way back in a quick 3 hour trip on Friday before the rain, probably caught 60 a piece in those 3 hours. Not the size from Thurs, but good, decent fish.

After the rain, we put back in at 142 and run up a mile or so. Caught a few bass and pickeral before dark.

It was the best trip on the 11pt that I have been on in a while.
