Sounds like a funny place to end the float trip right? No more description is necessary, you draw the conlcusion.
Colleen at HOT will soon be repairing my boat. I added duct tape to my emergency kit after this trip.

Sorry to hear about your yak. I had a similar experience on the Navasota a while back and did a similar patch job. I also now carry a role of duct tape with me.

My patch job worked better than expected. It was also good to know that if you blow a hole in your boat, it still won't sink. My boat would get real waterlogged, but never totally full.
Maybe that is why boats have wieght limits. I need to take some lessons from some of you minimalists.

Dang, that ain't right! Hope you get fixed up and back on the water soon!

Looks like a good trip in spite of the damage.
How did you do that, that's a big hole?
Nice shot of the soft shell there. Coolest of the turtle family.

Re: Brazos float trip (Sh16 to The worth boys ranch)
We camped the first night across from the mouth of Garland Creek, and I noticed a small crack that night. The next day, after about 5 miles, I had to drain the kayak, and I noticed the crack was bigger than before.
At the end of day two, I had a pretty good sized crack. On the morning of day 3, I popped the hole going down the rapids near crawford hollow. It pretty much just pushed the crack upen.
I don't remeber hitting anything solid enough to crack it, but it obviously happened.

Those hellgramites are some of the best bait ever. Smallmouth; largemouth; channel cat; brim; they all love them.

I have caught a bunch of those hellgramites, and I always try them, but never catch anything with them.
if I hook them through the last few beads of their body, and put them on a Carolina Rig, will they hide under rocks immediately?
I have a feeling that I need to put them on a bobber, to stop them from burying themselves.
Lasst time I camped on the brazos, I left two hellgramites on my line overnight, and they were still alive when I reeled them in the morning. They are tough baits.
