[quote BS]I have to agree with the guy who wrote on your truck. Having floated that river for 30 years I've seen very few jet boats run up side channels. I guess I hav'nt run into you yet. Running a jet boat up a side channel is dangerous and D-bagish. Why don't you do what 99% of the other jet boaters do, park your boat on the main channel side and walk over to where you want to fish. Or enter the channel from the top and float down to where you want to fish.
Having said that, in 30 years I've only had one bad experience with a jet boater and that guy was from Utah, enough said.[/quote]
Ah how to word this so you don't get offended. Based off your idea that running it down is ok, but up it is some how a d-bag thing to do and is dangerous makes no sense to me what so ever. A jet boat draws about half as much water while up and planning on the water as it does floating down. Which is why the shallower it gets the more throttle happy a guy has to be with one.
But in response to the rest, We do park, walk and wade the majority of the time we fish. And there may be a reason you haven't ran into us. We try to be on the water when people aren't on there. Rarely are we on the river before 4 or 5 and are usually the last boat off at night. But if you see a guy in his 30's and an older gray hair in a phantom jet boat, waving.....thats us
