New to Wapsi fishing

This will be my first posting and with your help there will be many more. There is allot of great fishing on and around the Wapsi river. There are things a new fisherman may want to know before venturing out on the Wapsi and I hope to help you out with that. There are things I learn every time I go fishing and I hope to find people who have fished the Wapsi for years that will teach me tricks that they have learned over the years.

First of all for you that have never fished or have not had a boat on the Wapsi speed is not your Friend. You need to read the river. So the slower you go the better.

Second a Jon boat(flat bottom) is the boat for you motor size nothing smaller than a 4hp and you really don't need anything bigger than a 9.5hp. There are a lot of snags and sand bars that will slow you down if you go slow you can see were the trouble spots are so go slow.

thirdly find yourself some brush grips(they almost look lick vice grips with teeth) instead of using an anchor(anchors get trapped or snagged in the under brush)Brush grips work great tie the line that comes with the each one to the front of the boat that way the front will always be going against the current and then all you have to do is sit down and enjoy your fishing.
