Anyone have any videos of there local rivers?

[Aaron Lariscy]

I Notice that nobody posted anything after SH's videos. Haha. Those are the best RP videos I've ever seen.

All four of these vids are from the same stretch of Youghiogheny river in Southwestern PA. Some of these are on another thread in the sponsors area, so apologies if you've already seen them....

Here's one from last weekend. The water was up hiding some of the boulders that are usually easily avoided. Check out the near miss at about 1:14 into the video. I knew it was there, but couldn't see it until it was right next to the boat.

Here's the first video I took with my RiverPro last fall. It's very shaky and hard to watch, but you'll see me bounce over a "wet rock" gravel bar. First time through this stretch and was unfamiliar with it.

This one shows a very "nice" impact from an invisible boulder. My river is known for having large boulders in deeper water leaving almost no signature. Found one!

No big impacts on this one, but still a cool video along with a nice fish.

Awesome fish and excellent choice of music. =D>

Well, since we has a high of 85 degrees here yesterday, we took the jetboat over to the Little Pee Dee River and did some riding, and a little fishing. I've driven over this bridge many times, but this is the first time I've ever been on this stretch of water.

As you can see in all my river videos, our rivers here in coastal SC are mostly comprised of swamps and flood plains, with wide expanses of river.

Farther inland on most of these rivers, you will find black water, caused by tannins (with the exception of the Great Pee Dee, its water is red, as it originates from the mountains of NC, bringing red clay and other sediments along its course)

But other than the Great Pee Dee, all the rivers are black water once you start going inland. Many of them are designated as scenic rivers, with white beaches and sandbars. One of these days, I'm going to go farther inland on some of these rivers, and get a chance to really put my jet to the test, running in the narrow, shallow water.

I'm a little nervous about running in areas where there is no tide to float me off a shoal if I screw up, though. I've got no problem pushing the envelope in the marsh, or on the tidal areas of the rivers, but inland, where there is no 6 foot tide range to save you from a shoal, it's a different story.

I found out i need to run the camera myself. I ended up with lots of video of my front deck or zoomed in on the floor.

That terrain looks kinda like some of the rivers in my AO, kinda like some of the narrow parts of the Little PeeDee River.

As for being your own camera man....if you watch any of my videos, 9 times out of 10, I'm running the camera while driving or performing various other tasks.

This one is in the lower part of the Little PeeDee River in South Carolina.

This is probably one of the most difficult stretches of this river to navigate, especially during dry spells. There are numerous shoaling areas, and it basically requires local knowledge of the area, or a jetboat, and even then, you have to be careful.

Despite a good bit of rain recently, there were areas just a few inches deep in the middle of the river in some places.

This was the first time I've ever been on this particular part of the river, but it was a neat place. Definitely gotta go back there again.

a short [ 12 mile ] run up the clearwater river just a cpl miles away.
the boat is a hamilton 140M inboard jet from new zealand with a good strong bottom. this is not the place to run a thin bottom jon boat . this is at a little higher water and in a few weeks it is just a big rock garden .
really good trout fishing in here for rainbows and browns

I wish i had someone else in the boat to record. I took a few more videos but none of it did it an justice.

Looks like a fun river to run. What kind of fishing do you havr down there?

This river in the spring we chase whites and stripers, although this was a catfish trip.

Those are nice runs you made. River looked really low in a couple spots in the second video.

That second video was taken out near Sullivan at the Sappington Bridge access-upstream. And yes,it was really low,less than a foot deep for most of it. Only caught a couple of small Smallies in that stretch. Did better as we floated downstream from the bridge. We floated a couple of miles downstream, but I neglected to video the ride back to the ramp.
The first one was taken near St.Clair. Both were in Sept. '11.

One from today right after the record water levels

I'm not sure I'd take a flat bottom jon through any bigger. I think my buddy that was with might not join me again.

Here is the up river run through the same rapids

If you'd want to run on the Meramac River here in Fenton, Mo you'd have to bring your own water... I have lived here about 38 years and have never seen the river so low... Sad in fact...you cannot get from the ramp pool into the main channel of the river due to low water. I was trying a week ago and the water depth was 18 ".... My jet boat is just to heavy to shoot over the sand bar....
