Heading to the Ohio River (pics added)

[Bills Custom Calls]

I have a camera I just forgot it this morning

[coyote101]

Could we see one more picture of it?  

Yeah, yeah I know. A little head space and timing issue with photobucket.

Bill could you bring up your picture on your phone and then take a close up of it with your camera .

We got one here in town that gives rides over to Blennerhaset Island on the Ohio river.
I have had the pleasure of hunting that Island twice now I drew a doe tag the first year.....had to pass 3 HUGE bucks.
Then I drew a Buck tag the second year and shot a respectable 7 point in the last 10 min. of the hunt.
They rebuilt the old mansion over there and give tours......while checking in my 7 point a MONSTER buck was on the front lawn just watching us.....knowing full well we could not hunt there.

Thanks Bill    I ain't never seen nothing like any of those pics [except the power plant].  That was fun looking so being there had to be a blast.  That river ain't very deep is it?

I don't know for sure how deep the river  is but have been told it is 50 ft deep in places

[coyote101]

It was alot of fun

I get to go back down on the 16th and haul er home too

That is pretty cool Bill...nothing better than playing with boats So do you have a captains license or was that just a figure of speech I've thought about taking the test for one, but I thought I would wait until I had a bigger boat first

Just a figure of speach
That was the first time I ever had the chance to run a boat and it lasted about 10 minutes before they thought it would be best if the 12 year old boy would take over    :roflmao: :roflmao:

Actually the Ohio river averages around 30 feet in depth, but because of the damming they have done there are places that it runs 150 to 160 feet deep.

I knew someone around here knew more about it then I did

My mistake then Bill as I was looking at the heading up river pic I noticed the water only came halfway up on the duck

Purdy neat Bill!! Thanks for sharing.

Barry, I live very close to the Ohio River and grew up trapping it.... I have seen 35-40 ft on the fish finder I suppose some places are deeper........all depends on how much rain ya got though......

A great deal of it is 20 ft or less........Nothing like what I saw on the Niagara river (steelhead fishing)....150ft
