Log Jams on South Fork, 5-28-24 

Yeah, i like exploring the creek more than the main lake, and can only get back here in the spring while the water is high. The shallow areas will be mostly dry the rest of the year. The main channel is deep, but i can't get to it at normal lake levels.

Saw your rock hit in the jetboat. Nice video, but bummer about the damage. My jet boat videos are back in 2015, a Merc 60/40 on a SeaArc RXJT 170, which I took to Ten Thousand Islands NWR in Florida. That was a wheel steer, which I don't like on a JetDrive, a tiller would be more agile. This entire side of the lake is Idle Zone, which is good and bad. It stops a lot of people from coming up here, so we usually have the creek to ourselves on a weekday morning. It takes longer to get anywhere, but I like the quiet from running on electric so it's okay on this creek which isn't all that long, and I keep getting stopped by Log Jams. My other videos in this boat go back to 2021. This is a Lowe 1448 with a Merc 15 propeller, which will drive this boat about 22 mph. My goal for this boat was smaller, lighter, cheaper, simpler. Great boat. Hated the SeaArc which had paint that rubbed off on everything.
