Damn it all, a last minute emergency has me leaving for Idaho in the morning. No chance of fishing for a week and a half now. Post me some fish pics boys!

I pray it's nothing real serious Bro.
Drive Safely.
I am going to give it a shot this weekend man! Going to be down closer to squaw point as the deep water doesn't seem to be doing much..
Got to Agency lake about 11:00 a.m. First time boat in water this season. Wondered if it was gonna run ok, or not! Cruised about 300 yds from dock, hit the throttle and man, did she take off. Came up on plane real quick and smooth. Water was mirror still. Throttled back to about 2100 rpm, and cruised toward the narrows. Throttled back to just above idle. All of a sudden, whump, whump! Threw her in neutral, checked fish finder, found out depth was only 2 feet. More than 300 yards from any shore. Shut her down, raised the outdrive, it ate my prop. Glad it was aluminum. Oh well. Fired up the 9.9 kicker and trolled back toward the dock, about 3 miles. Wind came up and made it very hard to steer. Finally had to wind up the rods, kicked her up to about 5mph, and made it to the pier. No fish. Bummer. Ordered new prop from the prop doctor on line. Should be here in about a week. Going to Gerber tomorrow. Without the boat. Just to check it out. Might fish.
I went to the straights last year for the first time after watching the 500tons of dynamite go off some time ago and it was very hard to find the pass it was marked with buoys but there is a lot of water out there I would not go near anymore. In the past when the water goes down the end of the channel is very shallow on the Klamath side and boats have got stuck in the mud. Wish I knew where you bumped and glad you made it out OK. Lost some of my favorite fishing grounds there.Got to Agency lake about 11:00 a.m. First time boat in water this season. Wondered if it was gonna run ok, or not!
