Fishing Forum

Me and a buddy sturgeon fished a little below the dam with no hits but a few bass and a fan boat was ferrying rafters up and down and offered to show us the river and what rocks were around and give me a heads up on a few spots to fish and places my 12 ft boat may not be able to handle. After a quick tour we drifter the narrow spot of the river 1/2 mile down from the dam and had a bass every cast. Drifted it 4 times with a total of about 50 fish each in about an hour! Best SMB day of my life! Using the largest gold on gold spinner I had h and all the fish were 12 or over and fat!!!!

Shouldn't having that much fun be illegal?!! Congrats, and by the way, what a nice guy to give you the tour. Mike

Yeah I am always nervous to take my boat on new water because of rocks, but mostly being able to motor back up. The 15 hp doesn't have enough power to take me and buddy and gear up the rapids very fast if at all. All together were about 500 pounds with gear and have to find channels and push back and forth through some currents to get up. By myself the boat feels like a race boat and sometimes I'll take it for a quick spin to just go as fast as I can and cut back and forth.
