Thread: All You Sauger Fishermen

Definitely froze over in this pool in 77/78. Remember that clearly. WOW 48 days would make a man stir crazy. At least you guys were probaly eating good. Friend of our family is a cook for a Crounse boat & she always tells us of all the stuff she is cooking. That woman can sure make a spread. What did you mean when you said "The Ohio has fallen out and Lock & Dam 52 went up this morning"

Yep buddy. When you're about a 19 or 20 year old guy and got your mind on chase'n those lovely young ladies, 48 days seems like forever!

As for 52... When the water falls out the pool below Smithland gets so low that we can't transit. 52 is a "wicket dam" that is below Paducah that can be raised or lowered depending on the river level. When the river is up, they lower the wickets and we just go over the dam.
