I am in the elk river area and would love to get out on the river sometime to fish. Anyone who might have a seat available sometime, let me know. I have gas money$$$$

I just get to nervous to put my boat on it until I got a feel for it. And someone with some experience would be great to get out with.

Fish for anything----

That is a heck of an offer MisterJ. If eyes can't make it, I'll fill in just for a ride in a River Pro.

Eyes, you are wise in not putting your boat in the water up here. I live in ER as well and I won't put my 16' boat in the water either. I have seen guys hit boulders in boats and it wasn't pretty, but I have also seen River Pros scream up river looking like they were going to be destroyed and the driver comes away with a big smile on his face while the passenger looks like he needs to clean his shorts out. I myself stick to a canoe on the river once the water goes down.

Would definitely be interested. Not sure what a river pro is, but as I said River Novice.

I guess I would bring an extra pair of shorts---->

If it gets me out I would be happy.

I will shoot an email.

River Pro is the ultimate river fishing boat. It has a jet motor instead of propeller so it only needs a few inches of water to run on plane.

I REALLY want one of these for the river, if only there was money laying around. Still haven't ridden in one yet though frown

I heard about the little on shore excursion. Doesn't sound like much fun. I am up for a ride in one any time. I have only fished the ER to Monti stretch a couple times with my dad. I don't know how we made it through there. Musta just been dumb luck. We were in my lund with my dad's old 9.8 Merc shorty and I was up front and could see all the boulders. Dad just kept on going and luckily never hit one. Don't know how he did it, cause he certainly did not know the river in that stretch.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
