PR float trip 7/26

[Skunk City]

Did a nice little float trip from the kayaks saturday morning/afternoon. I figure we did about 5 miles, give or take. This is a stretch of river I have no experience in, so we winged it and hoped for the best. Launched at 7am and finished up around noon. Very peaceful stretch of river with no homes or development. TONS of laydowns and even one spot where three trees were completely blocking the river. Steep muddy banks prevented us from portaging around them, so we portaged OVER them! Kayaks rule . Saw a decent amount of natives hanging around, including a fox, deer, musk rats, numerous birds, and even a 3ft snake feasting on a still-moving fish on the bank. Fishing was good, with a total of 7 Pike landed and 1 Largemouth. Highlights were my buddy/NJF member Bling306's 31" Pike and a plus sized Pike for me that fell out of my hands before a pic/measurement, guesstimated around 32"-33". No beasts, but fun day on the river with my buddies. Can't wait to do it again.
