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

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. grin 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.

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.

No that's ok. laugh

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      Outdoor security cameras

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
