She's getting LOW again

[DTro]

Low water + foggy night = 1.5 blade prop and .5 hydrofoil

oh and whomever took out my taillight in the Jordan parking lot tonight...thanks

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Yep the sandbars are popping up all over the place. Can't imagine how low it will get a month or two from now.

[Slowhand]

Deadhead peel the prop?

[DTro]

yeah, one in a million chances, but the log wedged between the prop and the fin. The log won.

yea afew years back lost my hydrofoil that way half on the trip up the river and the other half on the way back. sorry to here about the tail light but I thiunk if you find the guy who stole the tied up flat head you might find the guy that broke your tail light. sorry Dtro couldnt help my self. Ive had that happen twice so I fixed the problem by installing Tailigghts like semi trailers use the recessed one and havent had a worry about them.

It was a disaster out there last night.

Told Darren I haven't been out for awhile but sure didn't miss the thick fog at all. That first sweeping bend down from Jordan is just littered with timber right under the surface of the water, you can't see it until you hit it. With the fog, forget about even trying to see the stuff barely sticking out of the water even.

1-1/2 prop blades, half a hydrofoil, and half the cavitation plate is an understatement.

[rushing]

Darren maybe you need to quit with the catfish and start with the walleyes?

[harvey lee]

No problem with the local lakes. Thats why I quit the river as I didn't want to totally damage the lower unit.

Eyes and panfish have been pretty darn good for me for the past 2 weeks.

[DTro]

No that's ok.

It's funny because I had a worse feeling in my stomach from missing a run on a VERY large sucker than I did after seeing the damage.

Just part of the game, nobody got hurt, and it's a fairly easy fix.

Just another reason I would never use a stainless prop on the river and just another reason why I shouldn't be running a prop at all.

I can't imagine what would've happened there with stainless.

[harvey lee]

Maybe the same guy that hit my truck hit yours Dtro.

[hanson]

Rob- I understand its your fault I had to listen to The Lonely Island all last night. I'm still searching around my place for a box big enough.

BTW... look at me, I'M ON A BOAT!

[rushing]

I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies

I'm flippin burgers, you at Kinko's straight flippin copies

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Oh my lord well guys I think we have are own Colt ford

[Gordie]

Hey Guys found out yesterday why the river is dropping so fast these guys were stealing the water and they do it a little every day. We busted them and NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY. GOOOD DAY

[Scott K]

I know that spot I would imagine after a few months, there would be half a tank of silt to clean out.

[ec30_06]

The river is back up to where it was on the 4th and still rising. My trip to blakely from BP was interesting a few days ago when the river hit its low point of the season so far. A couple places that you could see the bottom of the river all the way across.

[TChard]

I don't see why you guys want that river to come up!

Who ever the guys that are pumping out of the river... You need more TRUCKS

[Noel Schmieg]

where are they doing this at?

[Larry FlatCaster]

where are they doing this at?

I think its the Minnesota River.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I don't mind the river levels dropping as I shore fish primarily. Easier to get to some spots with the river lower. I definitely see the problem for boaters though. Not fun getting stuck on a sandbar.

[Noel Schmieg]

I know its the Mn river but where? what city

[Gordie]

Henderson

[Noel Schmieg]

Thanks you Elwood

[ec30_06]

It's dropping again. Should be interesting for the next league night

[harvey lee]

Not for the jet boats only the prop guys.

[Scott K]

I am doing all right, I am still on my second prop this year, and I have been fishing somewhat regular. I would like it to stay right where it is at right now.

1st year I had the RP , I stuffed it onto a sandbar during League night. Better bring some block and tackle along Tom

[ec30_06]

Just make sure you have enough "bumps" to make it till morning if you have to.

[wastewaterguru]

I have been lucky so far with the sand bars....but it does have the word bar in it so it can't be all bad.

[ogrejce]

How low is the river up from the jordan launch? Tonight will be my first one out in the boat this year, Ill be running a nine horse prop.
