@@HampETX903 God bless the South

@@clintonbruning your a man after my own heart haha! Glad you enjoyed the video. What is the river like up there? I've never been

@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 it’s honestly decently clear, with good bass fishing. But the current isn’t anywhere close to as strong as it looks in the lower part of the river where you were. I think you’ve inspired me to try to take on the whole thing from lake worth to downtown on my paddleboard in a day sometime here soon 👊🏽

My buddy's wife came with a trailer, we pulled out at the marina on the dam, got back in the river behind the spillway

Yessir old steamboat maps said 550, we ran 20 miles an hour for around 9 hours a day for three days,

If anything it was farther one day we ran nearly 12 hours not full speed though. Went through 40 gallons of fuel

Thank you sir, sure was

Yessir, it was too rough in the bay for that though, we broke every single brace in that john boat crossing the bay!

That's too cool, good fishing there, lots of gators too! Thanks for watching!

@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 yessir. Loved the video man.

@@jonathanmodisette6997 glad to hear people are enjoying the channel that's great! The next big trip will be Dallas down to where we started, don't know when but it's in the works

That's too cool, yessir that is a long way in a canoe.it would probably take 10 days. there is website, that has all the old steamboat ports along the river with river miles too, it's hard to to find, but worth looking for

saw the kid had one thats good

Yessir not a bad idea, you as well, take care!

Yessir they are pretty loud though

Yessir we trailered out of Browders Marina to the spill way, 85 is that up in Dallas?

Yes 85 bridge is Ellis county and Henderson county line south of Dallas y’all are tuff can’t imagine mosquitos and gnats 😮 enjoyed the video Thanks

@@doncarson2991 good to know, the next trip will from Dallas to where we started. Haha yessir the bugs got meaner the further we went. Thanks for watching!

I hear that, I haven't been in a while either

Ive got a friend, that has been trying to talk me into hammocks as well. I think I may try it

Fun stuff! My humble opinion is it wouldn't work well on a fiberglass boat, especially a a bass boat. I think you would be disappointed. A 22hp would be best on a 15' or bigger aluminum John boat. The 420cc engine is perfect for a 14' flat bottom just for size reference

The biggest reason a fiberglass boat is less desirable is, they sit to deep in the water, and they are not durable by any means finding a John boat of according size will suit you much better

Thats my pitbull Keechi, I named him after the I grew up fishing. He loves a boat ride!

I didn't know that about the dam, that's interesting. There's a lot of history around the trinity river!

They kept trying to build this river system until about 1970s it completely disappeared in investors and city halls hands

Yeah it sounded better summer

Yes ma'am It was

Yes it was! Thanks for watching! We had a large first aid kit in the boat. We probably should have had a small kit in our packs to

@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 I enjoyed it. I would have liked more detail. Y'all got other trips planed.

I hear that!

Yeah...sounded better last summer

Biden doesn’t even like hamas tf are you on abt 😭😭😭

It's a workout but it sure is fun!

Yeah I took it to a tig shop after the trip, crossing the bay snapped every single brace in the boat!

Next trip is Dallas down!

Yessir I hear you, no shortage of projects! Harbor freight is a viable option to to get things rolling!

Sure did! Thanks for watching. Good luck on the water!

I would love to do a guided trip to the coast. We just don't have the resources to do a trip that big yet. As of right now we could do small scale guided fishing/ bow fishing and duck hunting trips though.

Thanks for watching! I love long tails for what they are made for, they are a work out though. But they are tough! They can handle serious abuse. Thank you much for your time, I'm glad you found my channel! Good luck on the water!

Thank again, glad you found my channel!

Yes it was! We are all from that area, and it was two nights and three days sun up to sun down. DFW down will be the next big trip, it is navigable but not by much from my understanding. We may have to wait for the river to rise or run long tails

That's a good idea, crossing the bay would have been much less stressful haha! We broke every single brace in my boat crossing trinity bay. Good thing you had a pump, that could have been a very bad day! Good luck out there!

Did you motor get ripped off the transom from hitting a hill or rock?

like you guys i carry a lot of survival preps. My Buddy Roser wants us to do a long drive and camp out for a few days, but i am concerned about destroying my boat, and its fiberglass.

Haha we're crazy for sure, thanks for watching!

It was a heck of a trip, thanks for watching. And good luck on the river!

I hear that, give me a holler sometime!

Thanks a lot! Glad yall enjoy the videos, the next big trip will be from Dallas down to where we started

@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 bring your hazmat suit!!

Thank you sir, will do!

Surprisingly good for a pack rifle, I trust it for standard 22 distance, around 40 yards, it's not a target rifle by any means

Thanks!!

I'd say south of Livingston, that's when we stopped counting

March, the river is infested with gators, all over even close to the launch sites.

Thank you sir, next trip will be from Dallas to where we started

You may bring a life jacket haha

Yeah I've been impressed by them, good motors. Haha I busted out laughing on inbred beaver. Thanks for watching you have a good one

I live in the city now , I came from the sticks and I miss that life, its comforting to see good ole boys like yall sharing your work and play. Ill tell ya, these city dwellers are completely disconnected to what really matters in this world and i wish I could have raised my kids the same way I was. That's all I can stand to rant on for now. Enjoy that mud yacht and hope that predator does you right. @@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780

Thanks for watching Pete! We're heading back out now, it's the last day of season
