    Has anyone had any luck with catching flatheads in spring lake portion of the miss? I noticed it has a lot of stumps and snags…it seems it would be decent.

    Any reports?

    I know a couple people have tried SL…they’ve found the currant to be too slow for them to fairly easily locate fish. I would bet there are some piggies in there…but finding them is tuff…

    A word of caution that you touched on…those stumps are lower end magnets…losing a motor is bad…losing your life…not worth a chance at a fish…of any size….be careful out there.

    I was thinking about purchasing a “river pro” boat so I can get to those tougher spots and not worry about losing props.

    Do you know where they sell river pro boats in MN or how to go about getting one?

    Audemp,

    I would be more than happy to take you on a lower P2/P3 log jumping journey and show you some of the areas you could reach without any issues if you wouldn’t mind chipping in a few bucks for fuel

    -Mike

    Mike, would you be willing to chip in some ching to replace my shorts after the trip

    Don’t worry Brian. I have seen the bottom of his boat.
    I think he should trailer the thing rather that drive it down black top to the launch

    I’m sure you could make me pee a little Mack

    It takes a special person to drop that kind of money on a boat knowing that you are going to beat the tar out of it . The river-pro is an amazing boat and quite the ride with captain Mack at the wheel. Brush jumping should become an olympic sport I got the chance to fish with Mike yesterday in the river-pro, we did not do any brush jumping but the view on the river was great
