I to have fished this area for over 30 years and haven't found a spot over 70ft. I fish out of a 14ft.V bottom and fish now mainly the Mcalpine area, I know of two 40ft holes in that area one at the upper and one at the lower dam. I use a 15 horse johnson which I feel is plenty for my boat because I believe speed is a big factor in accidents. As stated earlier barge waves can be dangerous but the waves created by cabin cruisers are the scarey ones...being aware of everything thats going on around you from one side of the river to the other ,because it will effect you eventually. And most of all allways fear the river...the minute you think you know it, it will jump up and get you..I do run the entire dam area in my boat with little problem but for those that don't know that area I would stick to the shore fishing ,untill someone shows you that area not tell you about that area. I'm down there every week if you see me feel free to come on buy and say high. I'll let you know what I can..ChuckOriginally Posted by PL
