Yesteryear's Picture of the Day 2007...... was sent in by Darryl Vaughan of Winfield, Mo.

What a catch it was !

Bill,

I caught this blue cat Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 near Alton on the Mississippi River. She was photographed and released.

It wasn’t a freight train hit. Pole just started going down and KEPT GOING! The battle was on. I am by myself. Oh Cr@P!

Fought for a while, finally got her to the boat, holy smokes! Tried twice to get her in net, she didn’t like that. Decided to give up on the net and chucked it to the floor of the boat. Fought fish a while longer to wear her down because I was going to have to lip her.

Looked downstream and here came Robert and Bev, a brother and sister that I didn’t know. They saw that I was in a predicament and were motoring over to help, keeping their distance till they got my attention. I motioned them to come on over. In the mean time the fish came to the side of the boat and I was able to get one hand in her mouth. She didn’t blow up so I put my rod down and got my other hand in her mouth. Placed both my feet on the gunwale and PULLED. The fish and I both slid onto the floor of the boat in one fluid motion.

I lay there for a few seconds, wore out, looked down at Robert and Bev. Then I stuck my hands in the air, whooped and hollered and they did the same. They were really happy for me.

They tied up to my boat and Robert came aboard, helped me weigh it and took photos for me.

If Robert and Bev read this I just want to say thanks for your help!

Hey, RiverBill

Went fishing this morning (07/27/08) with Josh and RiverBill jr., out at RiverPhil's place. Thought we would give Josh's "new" jonboat a shakedown too. Included a few pics, from casting on Phil's submerged (again) patio, to the catch 'o the day, who obliged by jumping in the boat! Too bad none of us caught any fish the conventional way !

AnnieRiverBrat and RiverRich showed up with Brandon.

Mississippi River Near St. Cloud, Minnesota

Increased Rain Runoff Swells Mississippi River........

Compared to previous years, the amount of runoff into the Mississippi River has doubled. The reason is the increased rainfall amounts have saturated the ground, so that it cannot hold any more water, leaving the remainder to run to the river. The U.S. Geological Survey has stated that the amount of water reaching the Mississippi River close to Royalton is running about 6,800 cubic feet per second. The average amount of water flow for this time of year is closer to 3,210 cfs.........

Home Made Vessel Completes Journey Down The Hudson........

Recently, Dallas Trombley and Rob Babcock-Ellis completed a 135 mile trip down the Hudson River, in a home made vessel, using no fossil fuels. This is a feat they had been attempting for the past 5 years. In 2006, their first vessel sank only one day into the trip. In 2007, their vessel was torched by vandals. 2008 saw their vessel sink in a rainstorm. 2009's boat sank during a trial run, and it's replacement broke up shortly into the voyage. The successful 2010 voyage was not without troubles however, as their 15 foot vessel was taking on 60 gallons of water per hour, a battery powering the boat's electric motor exploded and their rowing apparatus kept breaking.........

Capsized Boat Recovered Wednesday Afternoon........

The tug, Curtis Moore, from the Missouri Dry Docks helped the Cape Girardeau Fire Department retrieve a capsized boat from the Mississippi River. It appeared that the 12 foot bass boat had been floating in the River for months. The vessel did not have a motor. The investigation of the incident was over pretty much as quickly as it started, since the boat did not have registration stickers or a hull number........

Boat Gas Prices Up Over The Weekend........

The wholesale price of boat gas has swelled upward, even though the crude supply has grown over the past month. Lake boaters should see marina pump prices between $3.09 - $3.29/gallon this weekend. Some higher volume marinas have increased their prices by 10 cents. It is anticipated that by the end of August, boat gas prices may in fact drop thanks in part to economic recovery concerns and unemployment numbers hovering around 9.5%

Jake The Kayaker 6100 mile Great Loop Adventure

Jake The Kayaker Update.......

Day 244
08/06/201

It took a late-night / early-morning effort, but I had to take advantage of a decent connection to finally get the blog up to date. Be sure to take a quick look at days 241 to 244 to see what's been going on.
Daily Stats
Start: 8:00 AM - Fayette, MI (Fayette State Park)
Finish 1:30 PM - Park Place of the North Campground (Escanaba, MI)
Time: 5:30 hours
Daily dist: 21 miles
Total dist: 4500+
Companions: None
Weather: Partly cloudy, north wind, 70’s
Notes: Ran an empty kayak again
After the forty mile grind the other day it was nice to put in a simple twenty mile day today. The paddling wouldn’t have been all that exceptional except for the fact that by crossing Big Bay de Noc (10 miles) then Little Bay de Noc (6 miles) I put the last two major crossings of the trip behind me. Crossings (rather than coastal paddles) leave you a bit more exposed than coastal tours and as a result require a bit more attention. It’s nice to know that for the rest of the trip I can keep the relative safety of land nearby....Click on Daily Blog http://www.portagetoportage.com/blog.html

Juvenile Gator Found In The Chicago River.........

Thursday morning, a small alligator was spotted in a Chicago-land park, however, attempts to apprehend the reptile failed. Friday morning, a humane trap was set out, the gator was caught, and it will soon be on it's way to a new home in warmer climes. The 2 1/2 foot long gator was most likely a discarded pet. It is illegal to own an alligator as a pet in Illinois........

Mississippi River Near Memphis, Tennessee

Stingray Visits Mud Island........

Recently, Lyn Grimmig headed to Mud Island to check out the boat races being held on the Mississippi River. What she saw was something about the size of her truck hood swimming along the surface of the River. She took a photo of the object. Her photo was shown to a Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency wildlife manager as well as the curator of fishes at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, who concurred that the object appeared to be a stingray. Saltwater creatures have visited Memphis before; in 2006 a manatee was observed in the River........
