Morning cordials, gambling, beers, and fishing.....

I might do a few practice sessions out there to learn how to drink that stretch right...

No problems. Very mild current. Wind is more of an issue.

I'm be coming with my buddy who is also a member on this site (Earl123) . We have a tandem fishing kayak and we also have a digital scale as well. Looking forward to meeting everyone and catching some pike!

Going downstream from the launch, the main channel is at least 8ft deep, with some spots getting as deep as 14ft. near the bridges from what I've seen on my depth finder. We regularly bring my buddies' 14ft/16ft'ers in there. The only issue you'd have would be trying to get into the backwaters, which are usually 2-3ft deep but get as low as 6" in some spots.

If anyone's got room on a craft, I'd be more than happy to provide large spinners, husky jerks, spinnerbaits, etc etc...
