Anyone have any videos of there local rivers?

[rolling hillbilly]

This video is shot again from my friend lynx, high water late May this year: start up the Oldman river, then down and through the channel above the forks over to the Bow river and down it to the junction of the two rivers. Down the South Saskatchewan a bit then turned around and back up the Bow then Oldman. the channel we cut through is totally dry this late in the year. The two rivers start in different drainages, so can have totally different flow rates and clarity.

this is the area on the video, Oldman river to the left

Around here we would call most of that a ditch!!!! =D>

Yeah, that's pretty narrow terrain there, reminds me of the Black River in South Carolina, up towards Kingstree. Obviously they know that river, to be running at that speed.

What is the average depth in that first stretch? That's just crazy narrow.

looks like fun!

Here is a short video coming back from duck hunting in the Potomac River...

If you watch my video to the end I get out of the narrow channel and onto the main river. You call it a ditch. I call it the road to where no one else can go. The average depth was 6" I couldn't get through most of it with my trolling motor lifted out of the water and skimming the top.

2nd time running it. First time I froze on a fork and beached it

Had to go run a boat the other day so we could make sure it was fixed. Turns out the problem was he hadn't broken the boat in fully. So my boss told me to finish breaking in the boat for the customer. So I rode up the river past work and shot a video. It sucks driving a boat in between 3-4000 rpms for an hour, not on plane. Anyway I work @ Tracker Marine @ Bass Pro in Bossier City, LA, the video is of the Red River. The boat was a ProGuide V16 with a 40 4-stroke Mercury.

Hey, nice work if you can get it. Thanks for sharing. Any idea what that boat/motor combo will do WOT?

 

[CaseyP]

I didn't turn my GPS on, so no clue. It did scoot along pretty good though. The only gauge the boat had was a tach.

Hello there...new to the site and enjoying the posts. We run the SE Missouri and Northern Arkansas rivers. We've run the Black above Clearwater Lake in Missouri and the Spring and Strawberry Rivers in Arkansas. Also made several runs in Central Illinois on the Sangamon and Illinois Rivers. Enjoy going new places and am learning a lot where to run from this thread. Please keep submitting new videos. Great stuff! Attached is a video we made on the Black River in Missouri...we put in at Piedmont Public Access and ran up to the Highway K Bridge near Annapolis with 3.2' on the Annapolis gage...good running!

Here is a video shot on the Sangamon River...we put in at Riverside Park in Springfield and ran up to Buckhart Bridge where a humungous log jam turned us back. The Sangamon is a good river to run and has great catfishing but watch for logs...there is a lot of dead wood in the channel! The day this video was shot there was 9' on the Riverton gage. We also ran up the Sugar Creek towards Lake Springfield dam and up the South Fork towards Rochester. Midwestjet

After I got up off the couch from watching that one, I notice that the cushion had been pinched into a pyramid! Talk about a pucker factor! Every time I heard that boat skid over rocks, I cringed, knowing what kind of damage my boat would sustain from that, as it's a thinner hull, and no UHMW.

 

[Midwestjet]

"Pinched into a pyramid"...now that's funny, right there! Yeah, I gotta admit when I got back on the trailer I crawled underneath holding my breath that I didn't re-arrange the intake grate...outside of a few scratches on the UHMW it did great. A buddy followed me that day with his Blazer boat with a Merc outboard jet and outside of a few rocks to dig out of the grate he did OK too. We did see a lot of shiny aluminum on the rocks going over the shelves. The river is a great run...super clean and gravel bottom. My boat was cleaner going out than going in! Missouri has some great water! Midwestjet

I saw that in the videos, that is some really clear looking water. We don't have that here in SC, I wish we did, but most of our rivers are stained with tannic acid from cypress trees and swamps. At least the coastal rivers. But, farther up, above the fall line (where I don't feel safe taking my jetboat) we do have clear water.
