@@MidwestBassHunter years ago, I watched a video where Flair and Milliken were there. They even fished what looked like the same spots you did. They struggled too.
Hey there Chris, wondering if you ventured downstream past the niobrara confluence and up towards Springfield? Was navigating up and down the river difficult? Will be up there in Sept. and I've never been on the river through there and curious how careful I'll have to be to navigate the channels and not run aground. I assume your running Lakemaster, how accurate are the channel locations on that mapping?
I did not venture past the Niobrara, I’ve tried one other time and couldn’t find the channel. I have the most up to date Lakemaster and it might be 50% accurate, you definitely cannot trust it. I went from Verdel Landing down to the Niobrara confluence. I might go over and launch at Springfield this weekend. I would be very careful if I were you. What you got for a boat?
@@MidwestBassHunter I run a Ranger z521 and we’ll be launching from Springfield. I was really hoping to run upstream to Verdel. I know there is a channel that will get you there but without correct mapping or updated satellite imaging, it’d be risky and time consuming. Have you fished around Springfield out to Lewis and Clark?
I have fished L&C but not the river between Niobrara and the west end of the lake. I might run up this weekend and launch at L&C and make my way to Springfield. I have a tournament there in October and I need to learn my way up the chutes.
Congrats on 3rd place and big fish! Definitely a tough tournament, but still enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work buddy! Thanks for sharing!
If I just could’ve landed that first one…
That is one fishy looking place!
Yeah, if only I could find a few more bites…. And not miss the ones I did find…
