Naw....that let me loose to service the nurses....it's an employment benefit from them and the reason your health care expenses are going up. D cell batteries are not cheap any more :-)
Man, I would love to start fishing the river but this really makes me worried about taking my boat there. Is it pretty easy to tear a prop up out there? I turned one into a paper weight last year and don't want to do that again.Yeah..Onemore can show you where all his old lower units are. Bring a metal detector if you want the exact locations. Haha couldn't help myself.
I went through a lot of aluminum props down there learning some of it and it wasn't even the hard part. Bought a stainless and never had that problem again.
On and off I've fished the river since 1994 and have never torn up a prop. Yes, you can, up close to the dam, or working up into the fossil beds. But if your are fishing the river as a whole you will be fine. Yep...there are in high water periods logs floating but that's no different than in most lakes after heavy rains.
The river deserves respect because of the current, but not fear. To get started and get used to the river, wait till Jul-October cause the current is way down. In September and October, the river can be darn calm, glassey, with pretty clear blue water. Practice on the river in the calm conditions, and slowly graduate to the more high current days. It's awlays fun, for one reason or another.
Sunday evening on Salt River way up past Van Buren boat ramp I caught a 17inch Flat Head on a double leaf bladed spinner bait with a red and white skirt. Hit it real hard on the move just like a bass would.
Just wanted to share that.
Caught a few today this was my biggest...bad pic's of a good critter..
