Floated down in my canoe for a few miles yesterday. Me and a friend went out and it was kinda a last minute thing so we bought some worthless chubs from scheels for bait. They were dead fast even with my aerator. Fished a few logjams without any luck. Tried fishing under a train bridge but we the anchor rope was tangled up and we couildn't drop it in time. The water got fast around the bridge pilings then calmed down. Lots of slack later on the east side bank and a good amount of tree brush. I'm gonna fish the hell out of this spot tomorrow. If anyone wants to fish tomorrow that isn't a psycho, hit me up!
That's weird your chubs died, I went out 2 weeks ago and my buddy stopped and got chubs at scheels and the same story with ours. We took his mud motor Jon out and fished a creek and he caught a 10lb flathead, not much action after that on our dead bait..
We were north of the train bridge at the mouth of rawhide creek. The current in the channel was fast, I bet it was going at least 4MPH, Looked like a mini Missouri river. Glad we had the mud motor though, we had to go through some pretty skinny water to make it up there.
We were under the bridge thats just a little south of the maple street crossing. It got real tough and fast around the bridge pilings and the channel. Looks like flathead city. I want one of those mud motors so bad!
When I lived in Omaha me and a buddy would get chubs from bass pro or cabelas. You had to ask since they had them for feed the fish in the tanks. I've kept them alive in a igloo cube cooler for a few weeks with nothing but a bubbler. Did a 50% water swap every 3-4 days. I did use something to get rid of the chlorine. Can't remember the name though.
Looking to go on an elkhorn/platte river cruise with my canoe. Possibly a salt creek adventure too. Just got a 50lb thrust trolling motor and the canoe moves pretty damn good. Looking for someone that knows how to fish the elkhorn and platte go. None of my friends wanna go fishing because they'd rather stay inside and play video games. Hit me up if any of you wanna go!
Come on duder. Get off the elkhorn. I bought a new (to me) boat so we'll have to make good on that offer to take on the MO. Something better than Holmes anyway.
There’s a really good hole under that train bridge. Depth finder was saying 26ft last week. My buddy and I have been fishing it a lot recently he pulled a 42lb blue outa there using cut shad back at the beginning of August that nearly tipped the boat over lol
Last week me and a buddy was on the Elkhorn by a train bridge using big bluegill and he hooked into this monster
