Many years ago in the Altamaha River in Georgia I saw a huge flat bottom boat pull into the landing with home made racks on the sides. There were two kayaks side ways across the flat bottom and tied down. When I talked with the guys they fished oxbow lakes and cut offs from the main river that only connect during high water. No roads access the areas so they take the big boat down the river and beach it. Then use the kayaks to fish the small water cut offs. They had a couple limits of Black Crappie where every fish was 14 to 16 inches. They said that was a normal trip since they were fishing water no one else could reach. They said they had the same general success with Large Mouth Bass and Shellcrackers doing the same thing.

As I've gotten older I think about that more and more. Big boat to get close to the spot, kayak to work the skinny water.
