The weather was hot 100 plus and I got to thinking how good that river water would feel. I called a buddy and we headed for the Falls on the Brazos. The river had really dropped and was clearing up pretty good.
I had grabbed the Laker a cooler with water and drinks and a few knifes that needed sharpening my arkansa tri stone . Kim was looking for bait and came up with this weird looking freshwater shrimp
A pic over Kims bow going down the river
The little Laker still looks and paddles ok
The water was shallow and fast and the wind was really blowing hard upriver but we were rolling along at a good clip. I saw a coon washing his food in the edge of the river and the gar were rolling everywhere mullet jumping was a good day to be on the water. We paddled down several miles and found a big shade tree overhanging a sand bar and set up there.
Kim set up his rods and cought some blues and channels
I relaxed and sharpened away
We spun tales and told fishing lies and then it was time to head back up to the Falls
The wind was blowing hard enough at times you could turn your paddle up and sail right up the river,after a couple miles it was time to portage
about a mile . The water is to swift and shallow so it is pulling time.
here is where we started , I am sure glad these boats float shallow
We made it back loaded up and went looking for some ac but we had a blast
