Watch out for sandbars and rocks, there's some skinny water around there in the mornings.

pic me up on your way down river. i will be at willow valley. I have launched my boat out of the avi in the mornings and never had a problem. just watch where you are going. it is a fun ride down to the gorge then on to pirate bar. you will be fine.

I am not taking a boat this weekend cause i am going to working on the new place.

When  you turn your boat on... does it return the favor?

I ran from laughlin to pirates last Monday at 9 a.m.

It's doable but not relaxing. Floated through with engine off through some spots walking it through or planed out and mashed throttle through known troughs. I know the stretch well, but the woman was still scared shitless.

There's a number you can call to find out how much water goes through the dam... I just don't know it.

Holy crap sounds like a pain hey aquoholic I may have to grab you just for navigation puposes! lol!!!!!
Hey I thought that the water level was good around 8:00 or 9:00? my hang out is lower river fishers and hidden shores it gets pretty shallow there too but dont have any rocks to worry about sound like I may need to follow someone???

i guess i just got lucky everytime. lol i have never had a problem launching from avi and going to pirate bar. I am still kind of new to the area. I can navigate blythe with my eyes closed but now i am learning a new part of the river.

I have seen bigger boats than mine out on the water in the morning. so just keep an eye out and either go slow or FAST>>
