I think the Snake River cats would bite....the Palouse should be too shallow for them (that time of year).

My fear is not making the mud flats. But the boat does 50mph. I will have to check my schedule and see if i can round up a buddy or two for the trip.

Your power and your speed you'll have no issues and won't mess anything up. Might slow your speed barely dragging in mud, but seriously, you'll have no issues and you won't mess up anything on your boat, even if you do hit it's just mud. I cut through mud with my 90 full throttle on my 18'6" boat and have never not made it through. Have no fears, though it is intimidating the first couple of times and then again the first time in the dark.

I've never found one and have run full speed prop 90 all over that mud. I've seen a stick, but it sticks out of the water, so mark it on the gps during daylight. It's just knee deep fluff mud with 10-18 inches of water covering it.Theres no rocks? That would be nerve racking the first few timesMy fear is not making the mud flats. But the boat does 50mph.

You all shouldn't have any problem at all. I run a 21ft Nitro with 225 no problem. I did get a little to far off to one side last year which was a pucker moment as I slowed down from to 50 to 40mph. When I pulled out the lower unit had a new finely sand job. Honestly just follow someone the first time and you will be fine. I do not recommend trying to idle through though if you have a larger boat. I made that mistake my first outing a few years back. There used to be some markers that were nice to guide the way. Some jerks removed them though.I should mark it ..

I caught a two foot channel while bottom bouncing for eyes. Everyone says the water is still too cold. I' ll be up on a short trip in a couple of weeks. We've picked up a few bugeyes, though. No one is catching many cats. And those caught are not big.I went Sunday Monday, trolled around a lot for Walleyes, plugs and worm harnesses. Only caught one small walleye. What boat were you in?
