- Howdy! fellow adventurers. There is so much to chronical and share out here. We're going to start trying to post 2 quality episodes a week. In this episode of The Beagle Barge Beagle Adventure, we visit one of the nicest Mississippi river towns we've come across yet (Lansing, Iowa). We also try some fishing--reminding us why we didn't start a fishing channel ;)

Hey Brenton, here's a video of the best Crappie fisherman I have ever seen! czcams.com/video/1W2t-E_NkXo/video.htmlsi=KYTh4O-Z0eBDXuUC
BTW Crappie are good eating and you should be soon entering into Asian Carp territory. Some of those monsters will feed you for a week. lol Just watch out for the bones !
As always I watch your travels and I get to relax for a little while. My day consisted of trying to get my wife dressed and focused to go for treatments she has severe dementia and so everything is a challenge 45 min drive 4 hr treatment 45 min drive home 5 hr trying to get her satisfied witch consist of calming her down and trying to communicate with her. She finally takes a nap and I get to chill out with you and Wavy . Thanks for the distraction. I’ve spent a many a night on two anchors in some rough seas and heavy currents and didn’t sleep a wink. Always caution is never to be taken lightly. Let the good times roll. Mack in SC
That is a lot of stress you're under right now. I'm glad I can help you relax a little. I'll keep making them. We have a long way to go yet.
I really dont understand river towns without municipal docks. It is like they are saying, "keep going, we dont want your money."
Exactly!!!
I don't think people traveling on the river is even on their radar. I've always thought it would be cool of we had a canal system like England does with the narrow boats
The little revenue that they would get won't pay for the dock.
Seems like a "chicken v egg" style problem. Safe travels
@@brentboydston2565 Well the thing is the Mississippi and Missouri and Ohio etc are not like England's canals, they can be very very dangerous and thus fewer people are capable of navigating them. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool, and was that way a 100 years ago, but it obviously wasn't popular enough thus it died.
For, say, $30-$40 you could buy a nice cover for your scooter. Rain water gets into the switches and wiring connections. That alone causes problems. It hastens the demise of the machinery for no good reason.
Just a thought.

Oh yes. That would be smart;) it's a 500 dollar scoot bought just for this adventure. WD40 takes care of all that ;)
Ahoy there River Rats! I just joined as a beagle scout member, and so happy to contribute to your efforts and live vicariously through you and Wavey. I canceled my patreon to another CZcamsr who has made it pretty big and definitely doesn't need my money anymore and shifted it over here to Back Waters and Back Roads! I've been a subscriber since your first Loop trip, and I'm happy to contribute gas in your tanks and kibbles in bellies. Keep the adventures rolling, and Godspeed you mighty pocket Beagle!
Thank you! I think we're up to 20 members now. I will make it worth it. :)
Man these videos are just super awesome really appreciate you sharing them with us thank you
Thank you for finding us
I live in La Crosse. The sandbar you pulled up to is or what was Crater Island. Big party spot in summer. Lansing is a very nice little town. The homeless camp you saw is somewhat new. It has moved the past couple of years from Houska Park to Cameron Park and now to the land just north of Riverside.
It sounds like it's somewhat sanctioned by the city? I got the feeling rhise folks weren't worried about being run out. I hit that sandbar (not hard) cutting between the islands. Oops ;) always pushing the draft limits. My poor prop! ,)
Good morning, Brenton, Wavey, and all my fellow ride-a-longs! I hope everyone has sent their Wavey treats! BW&BR videos are my daily dose of American Adventure!❤
Hi Bill!! --Wavey Gravey. She always needs more treats
Thank you for the epic videos. Your involvement and effort shows through as you reveal a portrait of Americana in the fall. This fed my soul. I loved the scripture verse reference along with the shot of the eagle.
Thank you for coming along Greg. This is going to be an epic adventure for sure. I THINK the first shanty boat to attempt the great loop.
@@backwatersandbackroads I agree I like to see the scriptures you put in the videos. After your video I go look up the ones you post that I don’t know or remember.
@toddcunningham2410 thank you. No one likes to be beat over the head by anything, but you never know when the Truth might inspire someone to look into it further. I always put the verse in the descriptions too.
So Blessed to be invited along! Snoopin and Poopin. As always a refreshing and calming way to enjoy a cuppa Joe and reflect for all us non-Jet Ski types! May GOD Bless and protect YOU and Wavey on yer Journey.
Thank you Sarge :) we are just getting started. Ep:6 tomorrow. (Hopefully) trying for 2 a week.
At this rate youre going to hit 10K subs very soon. Let me be the first. Congratulations on that upcoming achievement.
Thank you! We're almost there. I'd say 10k in a few weeks ;) amazing. They found us!
We went over 9k today Will ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads thats awesome. Just keep the content coming and subs should follow.
Thanks!
Thank you! That's a days worth of river travel at 6 mph. ;)
Wow, the little town in Iowa looks beautiful. I'm gonna have to get out there and explore. My ancestors are Norwegian too.
Looks like such a peaceful place to live. Appreciate all the boating and lock navigation tips too.That helps a lot.😊🇧🇻
I'd be so proud of that Norwegian heritage, Dyan ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads I sure am Brenton. Deep roots in Scandinavia. Denmark too.😊🙏🇩🇰🇧🇻🌎
Thoroughly enjoying your videos! Following your great loop series with anticipation! Looking forward to the adventure and each new video.
Thank you for finding us ;) welcome
Hello from the quiet colorful Ozarks Brenton! Another video of value! Hope your well and enjoying your day! It would really help the river towns for them to have a place to park. Tight lines and bentpoles!
I know right? A lot of towns turn their backs to the river
Great video thanks for the experience !!
I’m leaving a comment just to help with CZcams’s algorithm. I use a minnow trap to catch minnows or just use plastic jigs for those tasty crappie.
Thank you for helping with the algorithm;) we seem to have broken inside. We'll be catching fish soon. Trust me...
Be safe- watch for snakes. We saw the biggest rattlesnake I've ever seen right next to the shoreline in Praire Du Chien. It had a large sunfish in it's mouth so we could walk right up to it! God bless you n Wavy!
No kidding?! I thought they didn't get that far North.
How is it that Bob Ross still is an icon this late in historical reference! Ha... "There are no mistakes just happy accidents 😜!...what a pretty tree..." DBL ha
And how did he end up in 3 states at once?! Lol ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads IKR
It is pretty 😊
"La Crosse Queen" That was an actual stern-wheeler. It's always nice watching them when they're underway.
Your videos are fantastic. I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing that you’ve been doing. Along with a 100 lbs lab. Thanks for your work.
@@TheCaninist thank you. Welcome. It's a great lifestyle out there. Dogs absolutely love it ;)
When I was a kid in Mississippi, we fished for catfish ? We used worms on a rod … put weight on bottom , worm a few inches up on the line … no bobbers . Pretty much bottom fished .
For crappie ?? Really liked crickets 🤣
That's what the guy I talked to today was doing. I have all of that gear.
we have a Genoa here in Nebraska...and we pronounce our little town...Ju-noaha.
Btw,, I am really enjoying your adventure. I thought of ole Wayne last yr rolling down the Mississippi on a 17 ft open boat freezing while sleeping in it sure looked rough. I believe his channel would have taken off his he would have kept that sailboat and filmed his adventure. People like watching something they can relate to, like what your doing but running the miss on a 17 ft boat freezing your ass off isn’t one of em. Wish him success in the schoolie!
Brenton get you a little jar of one inch gulp minnows and some 1 1/32 or 1 1/16 oz tiny jig head. Use some 6 pound test line and no split shots. That will catch a ton of crappie or bluegills(even a bass or two). Love the channel. Hope this helps brother. God bless. 🙏
I'll try it. We've been catching catfish on stink bait too. You have a Cdory? Great boats. I've had several over the years. They went and got popular and expensive. I'd love to have a CD25
@@backwatersandbackroads Yes sir. We love our Dory. Have had her a few months now. The 25 cruisers are great boats. Ours is a 22. We wanna be like you when we grow up brother. 😂 Safe travels my friend. 🙏
enjoying your videos fan of huck, tom , jim and of course Harland Hubbard shantyboat. interesting if it was in B&W we would think of you as Harland in depression era America with all the homeless American's and whatever what anyone thinks if i was homeless i'd be right there along the Mississippi maybe make a shantyboat out of barrels and pallets lol . the other plus i love the water but i especially love small town America .
I would find a way. Just sitting around in a tent...not trying very hard.
This was nice to watch after a day of work.perfect for me to wind down good job buddy catch ya on the next one.👍👍⛴️⛴️
I'm glad I can help y'all relax. Folks have been saying that. It's so relaxing out here for the most part. It must just come through;)
Might have to sell the mustang and get an early start to our 2024/2025 Loop trip!. Glad you are doing well brother. Keep up the fun.
Love it...another great video. Thanks
Thanks buddy ;) you've been here for a long time and appreciate you putting up with us.
Another great video
Thanks, again.
Of course! :)
get some artifical baits...mepps anglia for instance....beatlespins etc...they keep better than live bait enjoying the trip so far..
Thanks for the video Brenton ! I probably catch more than my share of fish but I also spend a heck of lot of time waiting for them to bite. Best wishes and good luck !
Our crappie magic is a 1- 3/4" (scrub). For bass a floating jig head with a rubber worm simulated to have fallen from the sky out of an Eagles claw ~ Fish ON!
Excellent! Hey, good to see you BTW ;) you've been here from the beginning. Thank you!
You need a water tank and collect the Rian off your roof, for cleanup and such. Maybe even a water filter setup for drinking.
Lordy… your better than me on fishing … I live right beside a big pond that I built back in the 80’s … never wet a hook in it… but I allow a few to fish it… largest bass was 10.2 lbs there’s fish in it … but now they need learn how walk… just been so dry here in sw Mississippi for 4 months
That's a monster bass.
Just happened onto your channel this past weekend, really digging your content and thanks for sharing your journey(s). I live in a small town in Missouri about an hour and some change west of St Louis, 30 mins from the Mississippi and 20 mins from the Missouri river in Hermann Mo. A native of Texas who came here for work almost 8 years ago, been drawn to the water and river life...I've often wondered what it'd be like to travel the Mississippi as you are now. Yall are living one of my dreams!
You're right in the middle of the rive life there for sure ;) goad you found our little channel. Welcome!
The coast guard pulled me and my cousin out of the river in Herman. We were on a raft we built on the side of the river.
Loving the series thanks!
This looks like a great pool between 7 & 8 locks to spend a summer. Lot of backwaters and access to supplies.
Good stuff! I feel for those folks as winter starts moving in.
I know you’ve mentioned it on both trips but when you’re passing through the locks I share the awe of that massive infrastructure operating for a single watercraft. I hope that lasts!
Me too. It's just amazing. For little old us. They even do it for kayakers
I seen a great idea for boat fenders on a home built fiberglass houseboat on my trip to Louisiana last winter to pick up my boat. They used wide rear ATV tires and put inter tubes in the tires. They drilled holes by the bead to run the rope though. You can add air to keep them from collapsing. I talked to the owner because it was really a nice looking build and They lived on that houseboat on the Bayou full time and some little town along the Bayous have a dock. Some docks has light poles on the docks. He was having the same issue as you. The poles was hitting his roof line. The tubes in the ATV tires solved his problem. Just put air in the tubes. Any ATV shop has a pile of old tires they give away. But you may have to buy the tubes. Just a cool idea I remembered that could help with your lock issue. Some ATV tires are 12-15 inches wide when aired up. I know those big fenders are expensive. Free tires are cheap, and tubes don’t cost much. Just something to think about. I know some locks make you tie off here on the Ohio anyway. Safe travels 🇺🇸⚓️
This is an entire part of the loop that we have never explored! Great video!
Beautiful America Lansing Iowa. sigh... another episode comes to an end. i could watch for hours and luckily for me you've got many more videos to watch. so thanks to you and Ms. Wavy.
Lansing is like Mayberry of the midwest ;) I'd live there. The river town coming up in the next episode is another one you'll like.
I'm loving it! Keep up the great memories and documentary!
A treat ty. Dragging an anchor F’s w/ your mind @ 3am trying get your bearings.
Press on. Great vids. You’re talented filmmaker
Thanks buddy ;) I'm trying
That's okay Brenton, at some point in the trip you will have fish jumping in your boat. I remember when Wayne took the shanty boat down the Mississippi, somewhere around Lock 19 he had Asian Carp jumping everywhere, no fishing pole needed. He actually fillet several out and put them on the grill. Are you keeping a daily or weekly log of your expenses? For people planning on doing this trip maybe you can talk about your budget for the whole trip......
You are in our favorite areas when we RV in the summer. If you have not passed Cassville yet they have one of best little groceries and the nicest people. Loving your videos.
We did pass Cassville, almost stopped. Sounded like we should have. Having to pick and choose to keep some resemblance of a schedule ahead of winter. Leaving Burlington, Iowa now. Stay tuned;)
Dynamite works too 😅
Idea I wanted to try was anchor the shanty in the current at nite .let the current drive paddle wheel generator ..then use electric to drive the board ..used fork lift motor ?? Now the whole time your moving the paddle wheel is still producing power ...EVERY ACTION Creates Opposite AND EQUAL REACTION !!! Mmm was Newton lying to us ?
That sounds like an idea for sure. A small wind generator would be nice too. Solar is just so easy and works. I've had no problems with power with 780 watts on the roof so far. Having a cold fridge is such a convenience
stink bait or dough bait cat fish. winter isn't the pan fish time but they can be had with fly fishing with small poppers and flies
Good to know. I'm okay catching cat fish too ;)
Best way to catch crappie is either bee moth or white jig grub with a green or pink jig head hook and place a green light in the water at night, you will definitely catch them that way, pretty much anywhere especially once you hit the Tennessee river. They do like to hangout around bridge pillars or brush piles.
Definitely going to be fishing once we hut Kentucky lakes. Q: can you explain the green light?
Long ago when making canoe trips down the Mattaponi river in VA we would come across bankings at least 20' high filled with seashells, and sharks teeth.
What's interesting is where this was it was at least 30 miles from the ocean.
I wonder how that happened. I can see shells. A friend is collecting sharks teeth right now in St. Augustine.
There should be an anchor alarm on your sonar unit.
Yes sir. I finally started trusting it ;)
Here in GA we hang Laterns out and fish at nite for crappie.
Crappie are tasty buggers
Haa! so funny, the little rabbit hound..3 hours later 😂! I had a weenie dog and I would stack pretzel sticks on her nose..so much fun! She would hold them for most of a minute before I allowed her to eat her mini-cord of her favorite snack 😋
She will literally do anything for food ;) those treats are the McDonald's of dog food ;)
The colors are amazing, I know you're on the water, but it looks incredible on a large screen.
worms love breed....bass love sounds as a child i would throw some rocks in water and 5 min. start fishing ...
Really?
Great channel I was only shown in the last month. I am 34, wanted to do the great loop since i went to school at 20 living on the icw, have a beagle and have had beagles for decades, live in new england and just bought a runabout boat to do the great loop in pieces, while boat camping along the way ,to work towards a six pack license. Went to school for mechanics on japanese motorcycles so the scooter vids are also good to me. This channel is great. Though I have a different pov about the country and where it is or is going, I think I am more optimistic, I enjoy your videos very much
Welcome! It sounds like this is just the place for you;) where in NE? I've kicked around the idea of moving to Maine recently.
@backwatersandbackroads coastal NH, but if I was going to move somewhere it would be on the VT NY border to be on the great loop, on champlain or Hudson River lock system that connects the lake to Erie canal or st lawrence river ca or Hudson River to long Island sound or NY harbor .Maine is great , Bar Harbor is one of my favorite places on earth, but separated off from everything unless you've got an offshore boat.
@@stevey_z I'm going to do the ultimate Maine lighthouse series soon. All 168 of them ;)
@backwatersandbackroads looking forward to it, here's a free ideafor you. I've always wanted to visit all the deactivated coastal fortresses on the eastern seaboard I've been to a few so far
@@stevey_z what are those?? Sounds right up my alley ;)
Wow so very Beautiful I cant wait till its my Time ..
every time the lock gates open i think of the doors opening on the Dyson sphere on star trek lol
Yes! And jurassic park ;)
Mouse X is a safe and effective mouse poison and the best part is its completely safe for any other animal except mice and rats.
If your ever get to Clifton Tn marina you gotta check it out I grew up running trot lines and riding the old ferry back in the 70s great days for a kid
I'll look it up. Love Tennessee and look forward to getting there on this adventure. I won't be hurrying through the Kentucky lakes I'll tell you that.
@@backwatersandbackroads actually I live in ky now Caton on lake Barclay Sinclair's has got great pizza ask for Nancy tell her Eddie sent ya
@@Stingray-jo2lv okay! Love good pizza.
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for letting us tag along 👍🏼
Thanks for coming along
Maybe try a small white spinner bait sometime when u see them hitting the top like that just steady reel
Okay. I'll try it. Thank you
Hey brother! Im a crappie jig maker. I watch your content and love it!! Can I send you a few handtied jigs so you can try em out?
Yes! Please. :) crappie is my favorite fish to catch, except maybe king salmon.
As always, I enjoy watching...thanks much.
Thank you. I'll keep making them. Shooting for 2 a week.
Thank you again Brent. I enjoy the video . enjoy and be safe 😊
Thanks for being here. We're just getting started:)
I had a beer at the bar in Lansing, where you docked your boat. That was way back when I did my downstream adventure.
Cute bartender in there ;)
Thanks again for letting us tagalong on your amazing adventure. Made me remember some extended family, camping trips when my uncle would wake us up to pancakes and perch.
Any chance, dragging a spitter as you go, would produce anything? No matter like you said much better fishing is in the future. Safe travels my friend …. And always try to peg out your
Fun-O-Meter.
Thanks for that awesome comment brother. I've thought about trolling with a spinner, but 5 or 6 mph is too fast and it would also snag stuff. Lots of fish coming up....;)
thanks
You bet buddy,)
You ..and itchy boots ..two of the best,, travel vids .
She's great;) Bald and Bankrupt is the GOAT in my opinion
I love itchy boots, the season 7 episode with all the trucks stuck in the mud was insane. Burned her clutch but she pulled it off with great storytelling.
@@DIYCameraGuy 👍👍
Hi just came across your channel. What a wonderful way to travel. I follow a gentleman, Sam Holmes, who sails all over the world.. when he anchors He has an app for his navigation iPad that he draws a area and if his boat position goes out of the area it alarms.. I've seen him use it quite often and has saved him a few times from crashing his sailboat onto the rocks. You may already have this, but thought worth mentioning. GREAT channel; I'm hooked now. Getting ready to retire in a couple of years and have been watching Sam's channel for ideas, but now you have my mind churning. Thanks and GOOD LUCK.
Wonderful! Yes, I watch his channel too. I will "sail away" eventually. Have you ever watched "Wind Hippy"? She's really good too. I stay away from the bikini channels. App: I'm looking into that and others. There seems to be one for everything:) thanks for finding us
Yes I watch Wind Hippy too. She has come a long way in her abilities and is so adventurous@@backwatersandbackroads
Best part of the Mississippi up there by La Crosse and Praire du Chien. Enjoy the views!
You mentioned, you were heading "Home"! And it is a very cozy home at that!!! BestRoy
It is home! ;) I know you understand Roy
I was watching the rain and thinking how we actually enjoy bad weather because we can cook up the wood stove and make the boat snug! A heat sorce is great to have! Which are you relying on more, the propane or the desel?
So far, just propane. I'll be installing a small wood stove in here. I wish I had before we left on this trip.
I would rot some cheap chicken and get me some catfish, put a couple lines out while doing evening chores, try to put the bait off into deeper holes and listen for the drag
It's going to happen soon. Right now I'm running from winter. It doesn't look like it, but it's nipping at us. We're blessed not to be in it yet. 2 days if snow so far, 70 today
@@backwatersandbackroads Yeah we are having some nice weather for this time of year. some nice days coming yet..be safe
You have relaxation down pat my friend. it’s Helter skelter when I do a two week vacation on our boat trying to make as many miles a day as possible. when I turn on one of your videos my shoulders drop about 3 inches and I sit back and relax. Thank you. If you like blue crab you might want to think about picking up a couple crab traps when you get further south.
Oh yeah. We had crab pots last year on the Vagabond. I plan on getting another when I get ti Florida. Check out the video from last winter with "Old Couple Outdoors" ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads I will! I am familiar with the old couple
The Naked Gun movies are some of my favorites! Try some little plastic grub lures next time. Have fun!
I love those movies too. Endless laughing. My kind of humor. They don't make movies like that anymore.
A person not having a big house with an even bigger mortgage is a blessing, not a curse. I live in a motorhome on a small acreage in the country. I hope to live on water someday.
I totally relate to your abundance of caution n not try to sleep close to that dam!!! How many times would you get up that night to double-check 😃 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Often! Last night I was up from lock 18. There was an island between us and the dam a mile away
For fishing in shallow, light wind and current areas throughout the loop you might want to rig up some type of stake pole system for quickly moving and anchoring without dealing with the actual anchor. I am looking forward to you reaching those tidal waters and maybe getting into some reds, trout and sheepshead.
I've caught a sheepshead. They are tasty...and I'd never put my fingers anywhere near those teeth.
Good morning! Looks like you are making great progress. Keeps getting a little colder and a little snowier each day. So many cool things along the way I’d have a hard time making it anywhere. Lol. Hope the warmer weather finds you guys soon. We are due for a warm up next week. Maybe I can get the rest of my fall honey-do list done. Stay safe!
Howdy Chris :) we have been so blessed so far on weather. To really stop at every little river town, you'd have to leave in September. Leaving Burlington Iowa this morning. Winter is nipping at heels
u need a squeegee for your front glass on those rainy days . all good stuff! keep up the good work
I know! Looking for one;)
Try pink and white jigs with waxies.
On it ;) and easier to keep alive than minnows
Hey Brenton, Love the channel! Keep em coming! Let me know when ur near Prairie du Chien, my beagle Rizzo and I would love to meet up. Thanks
Howdy! Welcome. We passed Prairie during Chein a bit ago. We're in Burlington, Iowa now. Running from the winter that seems to stalled for a minute;)
I enjoy your videos While sitting on my couch..
Great! ;)
Enjoyed your travels. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you sir
Brenton, when our CG rivertender subbed for the USCGC Wyaconda's area of responsibility north of Clinton IA to the Twin Cities; I made it a point to 1. Bring my homebuilt plywood and epoxy skiff (the design of that rowboat is called Whisp by designer Steve Redmond)....2. My Mountain Bike and 3. My ultralight fishing pole & spinning reel and all of my lures that I used in my home waters back in NJ. I fished from the banks, after our work was complete on the river. Places I fished were Fountain City, Lansing and Prescott, Wisconsin. A few others as well, but they do not come to mind right now. I did not fish with any bait, just my trusty Mepps #1 and #2 Aglia spinners. Even the Mepps Comet. No #3's or higher, I figure the Musky boys would use those bigger spinners. Brenton, remembering back some 30 years now, I still recall the great success I had with those spinners, catching both bass and crappie. That backwater slough you and Wavey were anchored in looked like prime bass and crappy waters. Enjoy this upper miss fishing cause once you get down to Clinton or the Quad Cities (and all the way to the bottom, I guess), the river takes on the appearance of coffee with cream and the sports fishiing goes out the window. Catfish and Gar. And I never caught either one!
And yes, Lansing Iowa is about the prettiest small town you've shown us, so far. Safe travels!
We are in Burlington, Iowa now. The river is definitely getting muddy. I talked to a fella on the shore today fishing. He said he catches bass, carp and catfish. I think it's going to be a lot of catfish until Florida. Lansing is a beauty ;) so glad you found us and following along
The live video going through the locks would be awesome
On it ;)
THOSE RIPPLES YOU SEE ARE USUALLY GAR FISH COMMING UP FPR AIR. AT LEAST THAT WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN THE SOUTH.
You could befriend the mouse. He could be part of your journies.
I think we have an uneasy trouce since I can't seem to rid of him ;)
Another great video..
Thank you;)
I'm not much of a fisherman either. My experience is the jumping fish are usually carp.
I'll eat carp! I know how to filet them pretty good too ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads me too. Fried carp is good.
Another wonderful video.
Thank you sir ;)

I'm an ole' lady of 68 (don 't mean I'm dead that's 4 sure). And owning REAL ESTATE IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE!! I'd rather put my $$ TO A BOAT!! However... I surely wish I was there with y'all playin' m'guitar!!!
I've alwaus thought England's canal system and narrow boats were cool. Wish we had that here in the states.
I totally concur m'friend!! @@whatyoumakeofit6635
I agree Dar, more people more problems. Lansing, Iowa is a nice little town. I'd live there;)
Keep this type of content coming. We (Me) want more!!!!!!!
About Fishing-I've caught more fish on nightcrawlers than all other bait combined (natural and artificial). In an unknown area, I always start with a single worm hooked several times on a hook that is a little big for bluegill and a little small for channel cats (my 2 preferred eaters). If the first fish is a cat, stay with a single crawler with a better size hook. If it's a bluegill, used 1/3-1/4 of a worm. I generally do better with no bobber, accepting more snags, but experiment both ways. And experiment with weight, on the bottom, I like egg-shaped slip sinkers that will let the bait move a little. But will also use split-shot (bluegills) and try to use just enough weight. Really like fishing with just a hook and worm if wind and current will allow. The stick bobbers with lead are something new to me and I really like them. If legal, you could also try limb-lines (single hook) tied off to the railing with chicken livers or worms). Keep trying and don't be afraid to try different set-ups.
You got it ;) Thanks for the fishing advice. I like fishing with worms and a Bobber also. Simple but exciting. Watching the bobber go down is fun fishing. More to come....;)
I really like the route your taking, great videos!
Thanks man. Puddle Jumper summer next summer ;) get ready
looking forward to it!@@backwatersandbackroads
Thanks for another awesome video. I love the small towns, but they do seem like they never have any facilities and docking for travelers on the river. And if I ever do the loop, those homeless camps would make me nervous if I had to Anchor nearby for the night, since I'm just a woman traveling alone. I've seen too many Dateline episodes. LOL
Howdy, your concerns are valid. If you're anchored out, chances are you'd be fine. Those folks (hate to say it) tend to be lazy. Rowing out to victimize you probably wouldn't happen. Keep the doors locked and your personal defense of choice handy. A dog helps too. I hope you do the loop. Keep us posted. In the meantime, come along with us ;)
@@backwatersandbackroadsabsolutely, great advice
Stickypads work good
