Get that Yella thing up here. It was probably my 38' he saw. the river is fine. Just keep the drives up a coule of notches and kick back!

Like Perfectmix said there is a shallow spot where they come together by a small peninsula, but if you stay to the far left of the opening(on the way there) you'll be fine. Nice thing is the water is so clear you can see the sandbar from a distance. They actually marked a bunch of stumps at the mouth this year too which is nice. Night time navigation could be a little tricky.

Kamma, the water is pretty clear and this year they have all several stumps marked at the mouth of the river.
Perfectmix were you there? I looked for a big PQ but didn't see one.
We went up Sunday and had a great day! 12 hours on the water and perfect weather.
Only downfall was I couldn't get anyone to play at the end of the day except for one of them there cigarette type boats.
Bro got a couple of nice shots. Great lookin Cig!

WOW, What a weekend.
Noboat, We didn't get to the sand bar until 1:30 on Sunday. I was parked within view of that Cig. Just south of the ankle deep water. What a party.
Hope everyone had a good Holiday. SOTW here we come

Perfectmix, I have no idea how I missed you. I was parked just SE of the Cig all day. Got there at 11:00 and left about 8:30. Were you there on Monday? It poured here so I took it easy all day. I think I needed the rest anyway!
