THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLIES, IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE FOUND A NEW AREA TO EXPLORE. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THEOXBOWS BECAUSE I DO ALOT OF MY DEER AND TURKEY HUNTING THERE. I USUALLY WOULD PUT IN AT BECKS LANDING BEHIND BALDWIN LAKE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SILVER CARP JUMP IN MY BOAT DURING HUNTING SEASON AND THEY SCARE THE DAYLIGHTS OUT YOU WHEN YOU DON'T EXPECT IT!!!THE INFO YOU PROVIDED IS VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE I USUALLY DON'T MAKE TO THE RIVER AFTER HUNTING SEASON. HOWEVER,I'LL HAVE TO WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE I GET OUT BECAUSE I'M HEADING TO THE EAST COAST ON VACATION. THANKS AGAIN!!!
