Sounds like time well spent. 
it was a blast!
I figured I could show all these pics cause you can’t tell where on the river we are at. lol.. Now I can’t wait to put a rod back in my hands. The shoulder was just to sore, so I just controlled the boat and loved the beautiful day
Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.
The walleyes bite is on FIRE right now on the river! Especially from Decatur and Ponca. As the water temperatures start to drop in the river, the bite will keep up untill ice is coming down. This is the only time a year the fishing is any good in this state.

I would strongly disagree with that. 
Ok let me clarify. The only good time on the east side of the state around Omaha. Plus if you try to compare fishing in Nebraska to states around us. Our fishing is mediocre at best. South and North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Out of what I call the fishing belt. Ours has a lot to be desired. We just don’t have the bodies of water like those states. Now out west you have better fishing but if I’m driving 200 plus miles I’d rather go to South Dakota than western Nebraska. I fish all those states and there’s no comparison

Yep, our neighboring states have more water than we do, but Nebraska offers some good fishing opportunities. We offer quality fishing for a variety of species. Have you done any fishing for wipers in any of the states you mentioned? How about flatheads? Pound-plus bluegills?
Run down the fishing in Nebraska as much as you want. You bet there is a lot of good fishing in other states I would like to take advantage of too, and if I get enough time I will. But, I also know that Nebraska has a lot to offer, a lot of variety, and a lot of quality fish too. Oh, and by the way, we have a lot of folks from other states that come here to fish too.

That’s cool! I know some that come for hunting and bring a rod. (fly rod) I also know we have some great catfishing! I also know they come for tournaments to. If it wasn’t for a broken collar bone I’d be having a rod out instead of driving the boat for friends. but for that same reason I’ve missed a trip to leech and LOW. To me its more than just for the fishing. Its were my heart is. your heart is here. mine is there. We can both agree that we love the sport with a passion! People can agree to disagree with out getting so up tight
