Living in Clarksville it's a little hard to get over and check the water levels on the Caney. I was planning a trip in the next couple of weekends but I have never been and need a little bit of water to float my boat on the river. I guess two questions stand out that I need help answering.
1. I have a 21foot jet boat that can run in a foot of water easily while on plane but I need about 2-3 feet when coming off of plane. Is there enough water in the river for me to run my boat and even if I come off plane for people fishing on the banks and other boaters; will I piss everyone off by running a boat of that size on the Caney? I'm trying to be nice here since I have only ran river out west and it's kind of a different deal in TN and people are not used to seeing jet boats on the river.
2. What would be a good launch to use. I would really like to make it up to the damn but understand that it might be a little hard if the water levels are really low. Gordonsville would be my first choice and the backup would be to put in at Carthage and run all the way up. I have about a 100 mile push just in one tank and trying to conserve a little bit of petrol for this trip.
