Smartweed and Elkmagnet -- Do you all manage to run the Snake without a jet? I had a flat bottomed Bass Tracker with a 40 HP and I could never get much more than a mile up from the Homedale boat ramp before I hit shallow water I couldn't find a way through. Scared the heck out of me in some places, always worried I'd lose my whole lower unit.
Do you just motor up slow watching a depth/fish finder?
Thanks for any advice -- I can only afford one boat at the time though. Now I have a Lowe 16 foot v bottom with a 50 hp. At least I now have auto trim that wasn't on the last boat.
What stretch of river do you think my wife and I would be best to try? We do fish Swan Falls (above dam) regularly as well as CJ Strike. We'd like to expand our choices for bass and do like to hunt a catfish occasionally.
Thanks,
Bob
