11 Point by Jonboat


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I have a 16' jon boat with a 25 hp prop. on a jackplate so I can run fairly shallow water.   I know it all depends on the river and water elevation but on average in June how much of the river would I be able to run without a jet?  I would like to be able too put in and run as far up river as possible and camp float/fish a day or two floating back down. 

Thanks

Thanks, we are camping around Eminence for the April eclipse.  I plan on looking as much over then as possible by land.  I have never been on the 11 point river.

Put in where and run up?  Fishing?

Stay below Greer, river level can be a challenge with a jet, but floating down very doable below Greer, shuttles are not that expensive.

The 11 point. I would like to spend a couple days,  launch and motor up stream and float and fish back down stopping at some of the float camps over night.  Renting canoe's or kayaks is an option but I just bought a 16' jon boat with a little 25hp prop drive and would like to use it.  Would really like to find a jet for it.
