Weekend Overnight

[Gavin]

Had a really nice float this weekend. Met Mike at 6am in Gray Summit, drove to destination, ran our shuttle, and on the water by 9am. Beautiful day...but fishing was slow. Through the tackle box at them, but they wanted none of the fancy junk we like to throw. A small Zoom Lizard and a Zoom Fat Albert Grub were the ticket for both numbers and size, followed by a small twin spin, and shallow cranks. Fished till around 8pm on Saturday, (we covered about 12 miles) and set camp..Wicked hot during the day, but it cooled off nicely, and Mike made some awesome Shrimp Boil Foil packs for dinner. Big bright full moon overhead.

Broke Camp and on the water by 7am on Sunday. Some minor jet boat traffic, but not much. Lizard and Grub ruled the day again. Covered the remaining 8 or so miles and off at 2pm. Home for dinner. No giant fish, but good quality. Great trip.

Nice!   I'm so jealous of that PJ I can't stand it.

Will have  to take you on a trip in it sometime. It's paddles differently than a canoe...You really need two people paddling on a designated side when its loaded. The oars work if solo, or with two and a light load for a day trip. Forget the oars when its loaded.
