We did make it.  But even on plane, I was hitting mud.  So, just tilted motor and idled using depth finder.  Shallowest part was 1 to 1.5 feet, as my depth finder wouldn't read less than 1.5'.  For the most part, water level on the Snake river bridge was about 46', which is low.

FYI, not sure how long they've been missing (as I wasn't able to go last year), but some jerk pulled all the channel marker poles!

Also, fishing was pretty slow Thursday evening thru Sunday morning.  In my boat, we only caught 10 cats.  Biggest was 8lb.  Other boat with our group only caught two cats and one walleye.  Friday afternoon thru late Saturday afternoon was tough; lots of wind!

I ran out Friday after work but nobody wanted to come off the water to come visit.

Sorry man, we were getting blown around in the wind at the mouth of the Tucannon...lol.  Thought we'd give it a try, as it was really slow fishing (and windy) on the Palouse Friday.  Based on YJ's report, sounds like we should have braved the waves to get up the Palouse Friday afternoon/evening.

Take care,

.7 was the lowest I got in the mud flats. Had no issues crossing hammered down and wide open in my prop boat.
Great company poor fishing and amazing stories.
Woodchuck, my apologies again. I had no idea I would have no service on the water when I had full service at camp.
Water temps were 62-66 on my electronics.
Punch bait went 50/50 to cut bait. Slip bobber to hook with no weight went 50/50 as well.
Thanks again boys and gal for the fun weekend.
