“Twenty
years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Catch
of the Day
at
Polestar Boating Center
Fish Cleaning Station
Click pic to enlarge
The
Catch of the Day....
was sent to us by Capt'n Doug Woods who hails out of Duck Club
Yacht Club
Bill,
I wanted to let all the fishermen know that Polestar Marina now
has a fish cleaning station. Pete said it’s free for everyone to
use and I must say it worked out great.
I wanted to say thanks Pete and Safe Harbor Yacht Sales for
putting it in and making it open to the public. I attached a few
pictures of Joe Grygiel and his Son Zac along with his nephew
Logan with our catch on Saturday morning. We ended up with 9
catfish with the biggest one weighing in at 14 lbs. the kids had
a blast and the fish are biting.

Navigation Channel Condition Status Report ....24 Jul 2014
US Army Corps of Engineers
St. Louis District - Weekly Navigation Channel Condition
Dredge Potter - standby
Dredge America
- standby
Mississippi River
MILE 200.8 - L/D
CLOSURE
Continuing until further notice the Melvin Price L/D (main
chamber) in the vicinity of Mile 200.8, is closed for
repairs. All vessels will be required to use the auxiliary
chamber. Mariners may contact the L/D at (618) 462-1713 or
via VHF-FM Channel 14, for additional information.
MILE 185.4 - MILE 180.0 - SUNKEN VESSEL/COTP ADVISORY
A UTV has been reported sunk in the vicinity of Mile 182.0,
approximately 250 yards off the LDB (Illinois side of the
river) and approximately 650 yards north of the I-70
Mississippi River Bridge. From a USACE Survey, revealed
approximately 21 feet over the top of the UTV with the St.
Louis Harbor Gauge at 24.8 feet above zero. Mariners are
requested to favor the right descending side of the channel
between approximate Miles 185.4 and 180.0 and to transit the
area with caution
Illinois Waterway
Zones 1-8 (Mile 199.0 – Mile 9.0).
The following restrictions apply to all zones contained
within this Safety Advisory: Towboat operators should be
experienced in high water
operations and should proceed at their slowest safe
operating speed based upon prevailing conditions in order to
minimize wake damage. The
drift of debris may be hazardous to navigation, causing
buoys to be dragged off station. Down streaming operations
are not recommended
unless the vessel is equal to or greater than 75 feet in
length and have a minimum of 1,800 horsepower. Mariners are
requested to remain
aware of the close proximity to railways when choosing a
location to push into the bank, with the current river
stages, railway systems close to
the river’s edge may become threatened by the head of a tow
when pushed into the bank.
All vessels are reminded to minimize speed to avoid wake
damage.
Missouri
River
MILE 44.0 - BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Daniel Boone Companion Bridge; Cofferdam installation is
ongoing on both sides of the navigation channel, minimum
horizontal clearance between cofferdams is 400 feet. At
times the floating workplant may be temporarily moored in
the channel and will move on 30-minute advance notice by
contacting the M/V GABRIEL J via VHF-FM Channels 13 or 16.
Kaskaskia River
MILE 10.0 - SUNKEN VESSEL
A 45-50 foot vessel has been reported sunk at a dock in the
vicinity of Mile 10.0, Water Street Bar and Grill,
Evansville, Illinois. A deck barge is reportedly moored over
the top of the vessel. Mariners are urged to exercise
caution in the area.
