Illinois River Near Bath, Illinois The Redneck Fishing Tournament Has Returned........
Following a two year hiatus because of flooding and then the COVID-19 outbreak, the Redneck Fishing Tournament has returned to the Illinois River. In addition to being a friendly competition between anglers, the tournament is focused on fighting the Asian carp population.
According to the Department of Natural Resources, the Asian carp were brought into the United States in 1963 to naturally control nuisance vegetation without having to resort to the use of chemicals or poisons. Since then, the Asian carp escaped from captivity and their population exploded, damaging the native fish populations.
Betty Deford, the organizer of the Redneck Fishing Tournament says that the tournament will be he'd next year if her health is ok and the weather permits the event........

Mississippi River Management Mississippi River Model Could Help Save Louisiana........
There is nothing that can stop the speed and power of the Mississippi River as it flows through the Heartland of Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico. Each year, the Mississippi River carries nearly 500 million tons of mud from 30 states and dumps it into the Gulf of Mexico. The issue is that the Mississippi River is not protecting the coast of Louisiana as it once did.
Brian Lezina, chief of planning for the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and his team are working to save the Louisiana Coast by studying a map of southern Louisiana.
Inside a warehouse in Holden, Massachusetts, Andy Johansson and his team have constructed a model of the Mississippi River that they use to determine the effects of sediment diversion channels. They use a dye bottle and food coloring and control the velocity of the water to see how much sediment is naturally carried within the channel........

ADDED SUNDAY Upper Missouri River Basin Drought Conditions Persist Above Sioux City, Iowa........
According to the most recent report from the Missouri River Water Management Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwest Division, drought conditions are still affecting the Upper Missouri River Basin.
The runoff during July into the upper basin was only 34 percent of the average, and July's runoff above Fort Peck Dam was the lowest in 123 years of record keeping.
The most recent runoff forecast for the upper basin is 14.6 million acre-feet, or 57 percent of average. If the forecast holds true, this year will be the 10th driest year in the Upper Missouri River Basin since 1898........

This weekend, the Quincy Boat Club held a two day celebration for their new home with the return of their Riverfront Street Party. The Quincy Boat Club is now located at the Former Pier restaurant property, just south of the former boat club location.
The Quincy Boat Club demolished their former digs in early 2020 after repeatedly being damaged by flooding. The club was preparing to construct an entirely new structure.
The arrival of the COVID-19 outbreak ended up being a blessing in disguise, as the owner of the Pier restaurant made the decision not to reopen the restaurant, leaving the property available........

Boat Handling A Few Pointers On Handling Wakes........
A busy day on the water can mean having to navigate through rough conditions with many boats creating wakes. Windy and stormy days can whip up the water as well, resulting in the captain having to make adjustments to keep the boat and passengers safe.
One of the key factors in handling rough conditions is to know the boat and understand that speed and trim will make the difference between bouncing about and riding above it. If there is precious cargo aboard, take the wake slowly and throttle through it.
The rule of thumb to taking waves is slicing through them at a 45 degree angle, however, every boat is different, and this approach may need adjusting to suit your particular vessel. Nearby traffic is going to play a factor in your angle of attack as well........

Asian Carp Update Missouri Scientists Studying Asian Carp Egg Movements........
Over the past several decades, four invasive species of Asian carp have been out-competing native fish species for food and endangering the ecosystem within the rivers of middle-America.
During the same time, officials and scientists have been looking for ways to control the Asian carp population, from utilizing commercial fishermen and installing barriers limit the movement of carp upstream.
Now, scientists with the University of Missouri and the U.S. Geological Survey have come up with what may be a possible breakthrough: they are studying the way Asian carp eggs move in the rivers in the hope that they can be killed off while still young........

The Redneck Fishing Tournament is slated for August 6 - 7, 2021. This tournament is one of the more creative responses to the Asian carp invasion into the Illinois River.

Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri A Look Back At The Wiggins Ferry Company........
When it comes to crossing the Mississippi River from St. Louis to Illinois, drivers have five bridges to choose from. This wasn't always the case. For the first several decades of St. Louis' existence, getting across the river was your problem.
In 1797, Captain James S. Piggott was given the right to operate a ferry along the Mississippi River between St. Louis and the Illinois. Passengers would load into canoes at Piggott's Ferry house at the foot of Market Street.
Over the coming years, the ferry changed hands several times, eventually ending up in the hands of Samuel Wiggins, whose name would be tied tot he ferry for over a century to come........

Mississippi River Shipping Soybean Farmers Believe Half A Billion Dollars Is Buried At The Bottom Of The Mississippi River........
Close to half a billion dollars is buried at the bottom of the Mississippi River, and the U.S. soybean industry believes that this treasure is located at a depth of 50 feet.
Currently, a huge effort is underway to dredge the lowermost 250 miles of the Mississippi River channel to a depth of 50 feet, and this could provide a significant financial windfall for American farmers.
Currently, the majority of ships loading soybeans can handle 2.4 million bushels, but any more will cause the ships to run aground. With the extra 5 feet added to the channel, the ships could carry up to 2.9 million bushels, which could in turn generate an additional $461 million annually for the U.S. soybean industry........

Mississippi River At Memphis, Tennessee The Interstate 40 Bridge Has Partially Reopened.........
Saturday evening, traffic began to freely pass over the Mississippi River using the eastbound lanes of the Interstate 40 Hernando De Soto Bridge at Memphis, Tennessee.
The bridge had been closed since May 11th after a major fracture was discovered in a steel beam. Crews with the Arkansas and Tennessee Departments of Transportation just barely made their deadline of beginning to reopen the span by the end of July.
Officials report that transportation crews worked around the clock to repair not only the fractured beam with bolted steel plates, but they reinforced the bridge by repairing 16 additional plates followed by ultrasonic testing........

Friday & Saturday.... August 6-7, 2021 Illinois River Near Bath, Illinois Asian Carp Fishing Tournament ........
The central Illinois fishing tournament that was cancelled for the past two years due to flooding and then the COVID-19 outbreak will be returning to Bath, Illinois next month.
The Redneck Fishing Tournament is slated for August 6 - 7, 2021. This tournament is one of the more creative responses to the Asian carp invasion into the Illinois River.
The fish are known to jump into the air with the sound of boat engines, so instead of using fishing poles to catch the carp, they will be using nets to catch them in the air........

Mississippi River At Le Claire, Iowa Mississippi River Distilling CO. Opened Celebration Center........
On Sunday, the Mississippi River Distilling Company opened their new Celebration Center. According to owner Ryan Burchett, the three-level expansion took three years to complete.
Burchett says that the project was affected by the COVID outbreak, as the scarcity of supplies such as construction equipment and bar supplies led to difficulty completing the project.
While Le Claire is always busy from a tourism standpoint, Burchett is hoping his new facility will benefit the city as another attraction to get people to overnight in the town........

it’s a cringeworthy sight – a boat sitting on a disabled trailer

incidents go unnoticed by the public, Boat Owners Association of
