I'm new to the site. I'm on my 3rd season running my jet in minnesota. Wondering if anyone has any good videos of the type of water you guys run in other parts of the country? I've watched plenty of videos from out west and up north but not to much from the guys down south or east.
 
I have some on my YouTube channel.

Our rivers are low flow in the summer with limestone ridges (razorbacks) about ten feet apart in places. The indians built fish traps (V's in the river) and other hazards are prolific (read that as random boulders leaving no ripple on the surface). Google or Bing maps Williamsport MD and look at the river. There are no sand bars and very few pebble bottoms. It's hard on boats and harder on jet foots. Prop guys are limited to a few spots.

I've seen videos of mud bottoms and guys jumping trees in the water. It ain't happening here and the mighty Susky up by Harrisburg PA is an even harder peice of water to navigate.

On the good side, even the jet guys stay home when the river guage reads 1-2' but if you know where you are going there's a lot of good water to fish.

I followed your build on a differnet site and have watched your videos on youtube. I've hear alot of people talking about how bad the susky is but have never saw a video of it showing what its really like.
 
That is what i was looking for. We hit two new sections of river camping and fishing this weekend and i'll try and get some video up within a day or two.
 
I keep thinking I will take a video and now I have a reason. I am taking the kids and wife out this weekend, so maybe I can get her to shoot a video while we run down river.

Nice videos guys keep them coming. Hoping i can get out this weekend for some more fishing and maybe some video.
 
Here is a short clip of the Susquehanna up above harrisburg. In a few miles we hardly saw anything over 3 feet. A lot was in the 1-2.5ft range, with sharp rocks everywhere, just the typical Susqy conditions.

Hit the river after work to take alittle run and ended up going 40 miles. I tried taking some video but trying to drive and record and dealing with the sun i figured i'd take some video some other day. I ended up with a couple of minutes worth.

Waiting to see some more rivers from other parts of the country.
 
Here are a couple more of the Duck River that shows a couple places that I figure hard to cross. I have even beached my boat a couple of times in this stretch.
